I don’t know what to say My experience in Walmart was horrible and terrible. Line up with favoritism. They give me hard time until i fail class. Unprofessional leaders using only smart and good employees for their career. Poor management keep make smart employees working and no experienced employees standing and doing nothing. No one speak to these people or thinking about training. Poor management just let them do whatever. Position given to people who have no knowledge about store or systems or customers. Smart and experienced employees keep make work more and more without getting promote. Later stupid leaders made small things make bigger and made smart people kick out of the store. Mistreated and reported falsely so management won’t get trouble. I saw illegal surveys going on inside store. Each employee to login into system and someone is working for survey and some kind of reviews.

Last week, Walmart and Sam’s Club associates from all over the world gathered here in Bentonville, AR for Associate’s Week. The spirit and energy that this annual event breathes into our collective hearts as Walmart and Sam’s Club associates cannot be overstated. It is invigorating to have so many people here in our relatively small city at the heart of Walmart, USA. It’s a richly diverse gathering, not just in terms of cultures and countries represented, but also in diversity of career journeys, life experience, educational backgrounds, and so much more. This was the first year I was able to attend the Associate Celebration that wraps up the week. I saw incredible entertainment (Lizzo, anyone??). I also heard from Paris Hilton and Robert Downy, Jr. about their products available at Walmart. I enjoyed the lighthearted antics of host Peyton Manning, hearing leaders from different parts of the company talk about our future, and seeing the unique things happening at various stores around the world. What was most impactful to me though, was the message from CEO Doug McMillon as he recognized three amazing associates for their dedication and the difference they make every day. He spoke about the impact of consistent effort towards achieving goals, the importance of celebrating wins and success, and the inspiration to be found in moving targets. I really needed that message. I’m personally coming out of the most difficult year of my professional life to date. That idea of “moving targets”, for whatever reason, really clicked and resonated with me. We have been experiencing a lot of change recently in Walmart Global Tech, some of it unprecedented for many of us. It’s been a challenge to stay optimistic and seek out success in times of uncertainty. It’s so easy to lose sight of positivity when things are happening around us that we can’t control. But there are always things we can control, even in the midst of the unknown. Through that lens, moving targets are a really positive thing - an opportunity for a different way of working, a chance to discover a spark of creativity, a moment to foster new ideas. Change can stifle us with fear, or motivate us towards evolution. The rest of this year, I will be working on the latter. Here’s to an incredible remainder of FY25 at Walmart. I look forward to what the future holds! #WMT2024

It's all about keeping customers loyal to the brand. 🪨 Imagine dropping a pebble into a pool. The ripples start from the center and spread outward. ✔️ Walmart is a fantastic example of a company that's making a smart investment by paying 100% of their employees' university tuition. When I first heard about it, I was wowed 😲 Here's why it is great: 1️⃣ It makes employees more loyal and engaged, which leads to better teamwork and higher productivity. Think "ripple effect" 😉 As they grow together, they can achieve impressive results, making the workplace a happier and more productive environment.🤜🤛 2️⃣ This move helped the company solidify its position in the market, improve its image, and make its brand even stronger. This was especially important for Walmart, since its core customers come from low to middle-income households.

🍅 👀 🥕 Watch alert: My sister Tina Lee, CEO of T & T Supermarket (Canada's largest Asian grocery store - think an Asian Whole Foods) shares the make or break moments of the Company's rise to success with an indepth interview with CBC National. A story of family, culture, tears, immigrant dreams, mothers & daughters, and achievement. As one of T&T's US board members, I cannot wait for T & T Supermarket to come to the US 🤠 🦅 , and finally give American shoppers the Asian shopping experience they deserve😍. https://lnkd.in/g2-uUgQz.

"Via in-store organizing and actions, Black Friday strikes, small group meetings, community outreach, national gatherings of workers, and online conversations with thousands of employees, Walmart workers built a new labor movement that compelled the retail giant to make changes, but not without setbacks. The film follows four Walmart employees as their movement grows worker-by-worker, store-by-store, and state-by-state, pushing for an historic win in 2015." "Their advocacy and mobilizing helped to forge a new model for building power for workers in the retail sector. Now more than ever, Walmart workers say they want a safe workplace, respect on the job and pay that reflects the truly essential nature of their jobs." "This film charts the birth of a national movement, powerfully revealing how the act of standing up and standing together not only transformed the characters in the film, but may transform the future of the company's workforce as well."

Woohoo Walmart! We made Fortune's 100 Best Companies to Work for List, and what I'm most proud of are the details of why. In essence, our people make the difference.   This isn't just a tagline, it is the truth. As the article states, with the size of Walmart it can be hard to have a consistently positive work environment. So how did we make the list and have over 70% of associates say it is it a great workplace?   We did it through our frontline associates caring about customers and each other, our frontline managers being servant leaders, using our scale to do the right thing as far as skills and career opportunities, and focusing on serving our associates, customers, and community. #TeamWalmart Side Note: I LOVE the picture the article uses because Associate to Driver is still one of my favorite programs we offer!
