Getting someone fired from walmart.

A friend of a friend worked for Walmart for nine years and she never had any violations on her work record. Last week she was told she is under investigation because a customer came in and complained on her to the store manager. The person who did this turned out to be a friend of her ex’s and he did this because she broke up with her boyfriend.

Well she called me late last night saying she had bee let go. The reason she was said to have say something sexual to a customer.

Seems like anyone could walk in a Walmart and get someone fired.

Thats messed up. I would be very angry if this happened to me. I don't even want to think about it.

IMHO, I think I would seek legal counsel. I wouldn't sign anything and they WOULD provide justifiable proof of exactly WHY I lost my job. That is pathetic!!

I know from first hand experience that in Ohio we are what is called a right to work state and as my attorney told me they, a company can find a reason to fire you and do so knowing you can not fight it and win.

There might be a little more to the story. I know someone that is the manager of a wal-mart and I've heard him say that it is very difficult to fire someone. Wal-Mart does a lot to protect themselves as far as letting employees go. They are given written and verbal warning before termination (unless they've done something drastic that requires immediate action). I recently had a situation in which I heard a cashier use bad language right in front of me, which I was somewhat offended by. I brought this to the attention of the person I know (it wasn't at his wal-mart but I wanted his advice) and he said that the person may be warned but that the store would have to have actual proof (other than my word) that the cashier said anything inappropiate.

I woreked for walmart as a associate and I had nothing in my personal fire and was fired when I was told I was arguing with another employee. They said I called her a F AND B. I asked them if I was arguing with this person why would I compliment her? And they said you called her a F AND B that is not a compliment I said ask her manager, who was on in this meeting and he said that would be a compliment to her because she strives to be just that. I also had two witnesses that heard out conversation. The upper management would not let them talk on my behalf.

That policy is there but they do not have to follow it. No union or no other means to make sure this is done.

Later the girl I was supposed to have argued with best friend called me and told me that this girl was just at her house bragging on how her and two other mangers set me up to be fired.

I talked to an attorney and he said we could fight it but Walmart would win in the end and they would make sure it cost a lot more money than it was worth to fight and lose.

The girl I spoke of was a low level manager, department manager to be clear and her numbers in her department was the best of all of the stores in her area.

I also work at Wal-Mart.

Thats more than likely incorrect information. Theres probably more to the story than what she is stating.

9 times out of 10 managers take employees side over the customer.

When an employee gets in trouble at Wal-Mart they have to go through what they call the "Coaching" process.

The fist time you get into trouble you get a verbal coaching, they tell you what you done wrong, and talk to you about how you can improve.

Step 2 is a written coaching, which is the samething as a verbal but it is put on your record, and it expires after 1 year.

Step 3, is a D-Day. Which is a decesion making day. You get a paid day off, you have to write a paper to the store manager and then he decides if you should stay with the company. This also rolls off after 1 year.

After your 90 day eval with the company, Wal-Mart cannot legally get rid of you without the coaching process, unless you steal or something to that nature.

They will not get rid of you from hear say. Like a customer complaint.

And as far as Wal-Mart winning this is incorrect also. Most of the times judges take the side of the Plantiff. Wal-Mart is a multi-billion dollar business, they rarely win. Wal-Mart looses or settles cases out of court probably 75% of the time.

Again this is the correct policy but in a right to work state such as Ohio they do not have to follow this. Why? As my attorney told me they, Walmnart knows that a person will not fight this becasue it cost to m uch money in attorney fees. I know first hand becasue when I got terminated five or six years back I contacted everyone in the chain of command that we had to and then I went to the attorney.
