Got an 8-hour orientation for Produce Stocker tomorrow—how is that time actually broken down?

My orientation is 9 AM to 5 PM tomorrow.
Can anyone break down what actually happens during an 8-hour shift? Is it mostly HR paperwork and sitting at a computer doing ULearns, or do they take you out to the floor/coolers on Day 1?

Job interview

I just had a phone interview for a new store opening in my city. They called me back an hour later to set up a second in person interview on Thursday. I'm just wondering what to expect is it different types of questions or just a repeat of the same as the first interview.

Anyone know the cost of the Meta glasses, after benefits (full coverage) with progressive lens, top coat and transitions? A general idea as I know not all prescription are the same. But I would like to know how much to set aside from some money I got and I'm not back to work for almost 2 weeks.

What should i do?

I had an interview three days ago for an Associate position at Walmart. The manager told me he would review my interview that night and get back to me, but I haven’t heard anything yet.

Today, I went to the store to ask for an update. I spoke to an employee who works there, and he checked with the manager for me. The manager said he would get back to me within the next few days.

What does this mean? Should I just wait a few more days, or could this mean they’re not moving forward with me?

Switching departments?

How easy is it to switch departments? I’m currently in OMNI and thinking I want to be a cashier now. What is the likelihood I’m able to make the switch without an official job opening?

When do I get paid or when do I see my pay in Me@walmart app? (Canada Ontario)

My training shifts to do the computer work and orientation happened on august 12 I had two of those then another actual shift on Friday. I am an overnight stock associate and nothing has been updated under the pay section in the me@walmart app so I’m kinda confused they have my direct deposit and info from the first day. Will they pay me in two weeks or before the end of the month because I’d very much would like to be able to pay my rent. Sorry if this has been asked 10k times but it is a concern because I worked for them over ten years ago and had to wait 3 weeks for a pay check.

how do I get hired

I've applied for at couple of positions at Walmart Canada twice.

  • First attempt: I answered the assessment questions somewhat indecisively and didn't select full availability.
  • Second attempt: I gave full availability and answered the personality questions avoiding neutral answers and being consistent.

There are a lot of positions available and for my first attempt I got rejected in all of them while for my second attempt I just got a rejection for the cashier post, the others are still in consideration.

What am I doing wrong?

CVP vs TPA. What is the difference?

Let's take those seasonal Pillsbury Cookie Dough as an example. How does it affect the store if I CVP it to sell vs a TPA? Does cvp comes from a magical fund that doesn't affect the bottom line? Does TPA cause a shrink?

After Interview

I had an interview yesterday for a Grocery Associate position. The manager asked about my availability, and I told him I have open availability. The conversation felt positive. He said my availability was great and mentioned that after three months, I might be able to get more shifts.

At the end, he said something like, “I’ll review everything tonight.” The interview was yesterday evening, and I still haven’t heard anything yet.

I know it hasn’t been very long, but I’m wondering: How long should I wait before following up, and when can I realistically expect a decision?

BOS single handedly destroyed my store and management turned the place into a complete hostile mess. Anyone else?

I honestly don’t even know where to start with how bad the BOS rollout has been at my store. We’ve lost countless long term associates, people who had been here for 10 to 20 years and basically ran the place. Ever since the shift happened, management completely gutted the workforce and the entire culture flipped overnight. All our experienced long term department managers were pressured into stepping down, and management handed all the lead positions to new foreign coworkers who barely know how to do the job and have zero experience running these departments.
The double standards are getting completely out of hand. P.A. pages are routinely being made in foreign languages over the store speakers instead of English, and store celebrations, catered food, and holiday decorations only represent one specific group now. The breakroom appreciation board literally only features pictures of a select group of associates without a single other employee on it.
When assigning roles under BOS, management told most associates they couldn't pick their spots, but let their favored foreign group choose whatever preferred positions they wanted first, leaving all the brutal physical labor and heavy lifting for everyone else. Meanwhile, management is constantly pulling select group of associates into closed door meetings all day just to yell at them.
The worst part is our Store Manager and ASMs are actively letting this favoritism and hostility destroy the floor. Morale is completely dead, the store is physically falling apart, and all the institutional knowledge walked out the door. Has anyone else’s store completely fallen apart like this after BOS, or is my management team just uniquely toxic?

BOS question

Is lead position any good? I heard their scheduled hours are all over the place, opening and closing and working weekends and they have to assist the whole store and no specific departments assigned to them.

Do these get paid out when you resign?

Just finished my 3 months today and see sick days and personal hours now, they weren't there before.

I plan to quit in 3 weeks when fall semester starts, is there any way I can take maximum advantage of these before that?

How are the hours calculated

Newly joined employee here. Location Mississauga Ontario.

Shift hours are 11PM-7AM(8hr shift). We have one 30min meal break and two 15min break. Out of this total 1hr break, 30min is paid and 30min is unpaid is what I have been told. On my first shift, i worked till 9:13AM. So 2:13hrs is overtime.

I just checked GTA, and its showing like this(row number 3). What does this 9.5hrs mean? 7.5regular and 2:13overtime doesnt match here. Am I missing something.

edit: im part time associate. All other part time associates told me that we are eligible for overtime if its beyond 7:00AM

Also i haven't signed anything that talks about overtime.
The offer letter only talks about hourly rate $17.75 and we would get minimum 18hrs work a week. Thats it

Changing availability??

Hi everyone, so basically I got hired here at Walmart around the end of June this summer as a part-time cashier. I’m also still on probation until end of September. When I applied for the job I put my availability completely open minus one night for personal reasons. But now school is starting back up and I will only be available to work weekends.

So I obviously have to talk to my manager about it especially because the next schedule is coming out soon. And I want to be ahead of it so they don’t have to scramble and re arrange the whole schedule.

My question is how exactly should I bring up the whole changing my availability thing to my manager?? is there a certain way I should word it or something.

What if she says no or won’t let me change it do I just quit??

And tips and help needed please!!!!!
