To be honest, I am fed up with my job at Wal*Mart. Get ready for quite an explanation...
There are alot of things going on with my job that I am just not approving of. For one thing they started cutting hours, claiming that it was to keep money and so that we could get our bonus during the time we had some new competition. However, my suspicions tell otherwise with the "improvements" going on at the time. A chain-link fence around where we store the electronics, a glass barrier in front of the camera displays, (which I pretty much approve of with how many people kept removing the displays and setting off the alarms.) new locks on the trash compactors and a few others. To be honest, I think they're holding out on us.
On top of that, I am constantly sent to the back to help pulling with the truck and the people I work with are quite unsafe and no matter how many times they are told, they continue it. I'm surprised they don't get fired.
I was also turned down for the promotion I wanted. Sure, it was because of money related issues, but as I stated earlier, the improvements going on tell me otherwise. A part of me thinks that my boss just wants me to stay in my area because I'm the only one there, so he's making up excuses so that I have to stay there.
I even tried setting up for moving to another Wal*Mart and was denied for it. I thought by doing that I would have a better chance at getting what I wanted. Plans didn't work out too well.
Without proper evidence of these things going on though, I cannot call up the higher levels of management that go beyond the Store Manager. Giving out supposedly false information can lead to quite a few law issues on my part that I just don't want happening to me. I'm secretly looking for some, but nothing has come up. So I can't do much of anything right now.
I feel like quitting my job. However, my heart conflicts with that decision because of the talk my parents had with me earlier about benefits and such. However, a part of me just isn't caring about those anymore. Getting benefits is nice and all, but with all that's going on, is it really worth it?
I'm looking into finding a new job and even possibly working on-line. With the on-line deal, nothing that isn't a scam has turned up yet. (I pretty much know a scam when I see it these days.) As for new job, nothing yet, but I just recently started on that. It'll take time to see results.
Wish me luck with the job hunting, because I've had just about all I can take with my current job. -_-
