They did that to me back in 2010. They kept scheduling me less than 20 hours (which is the minimum requirement to get government help), so I lost all the help I got and Walmart paid me $7.25. Fuck Walmart. I hope it goes bankrupt. I’m in a much better place now thankfully.
They also have a habit of hiring people during busy times and finding reasons to fire just before the 90 day probation is up in certain depts.
I was a grease monkey at one store for a couple years, then left and later got a 2nd job in grocery at a different store. After 87 days I was called into the office and told my attitude wasn’t lining up with company values. I was unloading pallets in the back, overnight, so human interaction wasn’t something I did much but I guess they figured out I wasn’t Walmart material just before the benefits would start, the whole company is a fucking rat mess

Maybe you’ll hate me too but I wish they did more of this or target different employees. There have been years where I needed some extra income and looked for a short term job without success. I kept getting the response that I was too likely to leave after the seasonal rush, but don’t they need some amount of that? Give a regular employee more hours, but fill your seasonal rush with people looking to work for just the season
But also schedule people to just fewer than the number of weekly hours needed to qualify for things like insurance.
