People, Mona Williams an email today

Yes,

I had given up hope and had it renewed when Mr. Jackson called.
I knew, I was told not to expect him or anyone else to come through.

I imagine it is my inability to believe that although the stock has dropped a good sixteen dollars in just over six months that Walmart corporate would not want help reviving the stores, the associates and trust within the walls of the stores.

There are only so many times that trust can be lost before it is gone for good.

I thought Walmart Corporate was filled with well educated and hard working individuals that would look at the failures of the past and present and work to make them right. To change things for the better.

I thought any number of times I might be able to help and each time someone took a minute or two and contacted me with a response I thought was genuine it wasn't long before I was back to square one and looking at the entire situation alone.

Okay, I put myself into a position where Walmart associates directly contact me for advice on how to handle situations that they are living through at work. I really don't mind. I am glad when I can help them hold on to what they have and look at and live through it in a better way.

I guess it is an ego thing or it may be one of those situations where no one wants to admit that they failed.

I very well may fail because there are over six hundred concerns on my list, most of which I have already taken care of. Most of which validate what I have known for a long time.

Simple things and it shouldn't be that way I tell every one of the associates that I can only help in some ways. I can advise them on what they may try that won't result in termination.

I had such faith in Walmart that I was wrong and following company policy is not a guarantee they won't find a way to terminate you if someone wants you gone.
I know there is no real open door.

That is not bad if you know it. I did something wrong when I use to tell people the open door worked. It wasn't the open door. It was the people behind it at any given point and if they didn't like you the door would slam shut and it would result in termination.

At least in a few cases I know that I prevented some really great associates and salaried members of management from leaving the company and have done what I can to dispel the inaccuracies that are out there about the company.

I do know that corporate is fine on it's own. After all I am sure that if Walmart goes into bankruptcy once the stock falls further, and it will, the people who made enough while it was doing well will be okay. As far as the others. Oh well.

I have a very difficult time lying and a difficult time accepting propaganda on both sides.

Once again I see others are willing to invest time in helping the associates and they are not Walmart people.

Someday.

I will advise associates to contact their dm regional or corporate if I cannot find a way to resolve issues they bring to me until I find a better way.
