    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
