Ranting and Raving About Who Else Wal-mart

What a blanking frigging day I had.
I came so close to walking out today.
First I walk into the lab and there is a pallet sky high inside the lab area there was also 3 carts piled high...someone wrote a note on it and said needs to be worked. Well, I work my pallets every day so there was no need to put a note on it...or have it out on the floor inside the lab. They could have left it in the back near my shelves in the back room.

OK so if that isnt enough, one of the people who works under me, a new girl named Candice tells me when i ask her to give me a hand lifting 4 boxes to the top shelf in what we call the heavens. they were too big to carry up the A frame ladder and climb at the same time, i told her either i would climb and she could hand me the boxes or she could climb and I hand her the boxes.
She had the Gaul to say to me, Charlie who is the GM said its not my job to go in back and help you. Well, it is in her job description. To help put away the pallets.
So I printed it out for her.
Little Miss Pris then proceeded for the next 3 hours not to do one thing, we had no customers because our printer was down and we could not process any pictures.
In our communication log I have to assign task for everyone to do daily.
I am more then fair with the task, and dont feel I over load them with much to do. For Miss Pris her task was to dust and zone the cameras and batteries. Put one roll of film away and put out 2 cameras. OK so at 11:45 I came out to the lab to talk to a customer about a camera. I noticed she handout done anything I had written down in the book. So I said I see you didn't put away the cameras were you really busy. She said she just didn't feel like doing it and that Charlie said she doesn't have to do it, that it is my job.
I dont think so missy. Now I am ripping...this kid is on a 90 day work probation...in other words I can say she isnt cutting it and have her fired and no questions will be asked.
So after about 20 minutes I take the box of batteries and tell her I'm bringing them in the back room, she decides to put the cameras out and comes back in and says to me they dont fit. I tell her yes they do there is a spot for them. She then proceeds to tell me if you knew there was a spot out there why didn't you put them out. I told her because it was her job to do it.
Which pissed me off so bad I went in the back room and printed out a copy of her job description and highlighted most of it?
As I was walking back out I spotted Paula the DM so I was saying something to her and miss pris keeps interrupting us. Even Paula was getting upset with her. So I proceeded to tell Paula I was being over loaded with pallets and I had no help because it isnt miss prisses job to help me according to her. Miss Pris then turns and said something to Paula and let me tell you Paula put her into her place very fast. She told her never to question me if I ask her to do something, that she is to do it, that I am the manager. I have other responsibility's to deal with. After that miss pris did everything on the list.
We'll see if we have anymore trouble with her tomorrow.

Just before I was leaving another manager came in back and was really mad too. She said here we are a Super Wal- Mart and we cant hire anyone to help. The department managers have to do all the work. So that's when I spoke up and said that is just how I felt today.

There is no communication in the store no one tells anyone anything. Like yesterday, I walked into a pallet with over 500 cameras on it. Tommy tells me that he checked them in for me...so I wouldn't have to look on the truck sheet for them. I thanked him and said I have no room to put them anywhere...he said maybe you can just work some of the pallet.
About 2 hours after he knew I was trying to find room for them, he came in back and was like who broke up the pallet, I said I did. He said oh we could have wrapped it and sent it to the heavens on a pallet. So I worked for a full day making sure to open each packaging box containing 5 cameras in each one. I also had to work the camera cage today to arrange the cameras in there to find more room. So by not telling me we could have someone lift the pallet to the heavens it cost, time, effort and money.
Well, guess I have ranted and raved enough.
