Retail sucks, it is a soulless, heartless, joyless place that kills spirits and cripples souls and I wouldn't wish a life in retail on anyone. Fact remains... If you're working there, it's because you're not doing what it takes to get out of it because you are lazy and unmotivated. I was with you until this right here. I've worked my *** off over the last 7 years to make management at Academy Sports + Outdoors and Old Navy to earn a decent living. Generalizing everyone who works retail as lazy and unmotivated is unbelievably incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each place is different, especially the people you work for and with, but while I laughed the kid definitely didn't handle this well. Exactly. He didn’t handle it well but gor all we know they might have been horrible mangers. Worked at McDonald’s and they called me dumb and useless all the time. Then went to pizza hut and got offered the assistant general manager position in 3 months. Work environments are different. Especially chain restaurants. Anytime someone says working at inssrt chain businesses is like this, there wrong. Working at one wal mart could be 1000% different then the next. Managers can turn a place toxic in a matter of weeks. Then crap managers hire crap managers who hire crap workers. Dont know the kid at all but i can feel for the kid if he truly was in a place with crap managers and got the crap advice of “just work hard and good things happen.” To many people are overly loyal to overly unloyal places. I had a talk with an excoworker who, by no exaggeration, was the only cook worth anything. He said “ya they said they couldnt give me a raise because of corporate so i guess i dont get one” to which i replied “then leave, the restaurant down the street hires in at more and you have enouh experience to go there” and he was concerned about leaving them with no cooks. He was loyal to a fault. No reason to be loyal to a place that treats you like crap because the managers fake being your friends. Young people are pretty easily manipulated and taken advantage of. They do things out of kindness and false friendships before realizing people are just taking advantage of them. Kid could be a turd and lazy or he could have had the world hit him in the arse and he handled it poorly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Three months from now... he's gonna get REALLY upset when he doesn't get a favorable response from old managers at that Walmart when he applies elsewhere and they call on any old employers.

Eh WalMart is a massive company. The new employer will call, get re-directed to HR, and all WalMart will do is confirm that he worked there from X to Y dates.

All it will take is a Google search on the kid's name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great way to set yourself up for future jobs and careers by blaming everybody for your own shortcomings. I worked in retail for a few years. Yeah, it sucked, but I worked hard and left on good standing from every job I've ever had and it led to me getting jobs I was not qualified to get based on my references and my work history, etc. It's pretty clear the kid wasn't a good worker. You don't call someone a waste of time if they're not a waste of time, you don't get written up for nothing, and you're not loyal if you leave by telling your company to eff itself. Loyal. Lol. He was loyal in so much as he needed the money and kept going back for that paycheck. I can't stand that type of employee. Blames everyone else for their own eff ups and never takes accountability. I could rant about that type of employee forever, but bottom line is that anybody who gets on a Walmart intercom and quits like that isn't the type of person anybody is sad to lose, and they probably wanted him to quit to avoid firing him with all that comes from firing someone. I hope his next job is at McDonald's. Former place of work: Walmart May we contact your former employer: yes ☐ no ☒ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing belongs in a sentence more than “Walmart pharmacists” and “garbage”. They are probably responsible for my hair receding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can leave it off his resume and no one will care that he has a “gap” in his work history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Prince Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 If you click the article it says he was hired for another job before he pulled this stunt. Wheather that job keeps him or not is a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, he can leave this job off his resune permanently and start work experience fresh, which is what you expect from a 17-18 year old anyways.
