the time finally came...
after working at Wal-Mart for four years and having numerous attendance issues, i finally received a written coaching. i knew i had issues with my attendance, but no one had really sat down and talked to me about it. i had had three instances in which my attendance was mentioned, but not in the manner as this.
every 6 months, the management team rotates which departments they are in charge of. one of the hardest managers is now over my department. although he is the hardest, he is one of the best in my opinion because he follows the rules and doesn't really play favorites. i am a little intimidated by him, but less now that i had to sit down with him. he actually thoroughly explained things to me, which was nice. the bad thing is that i cannot apply for any other jobs within the store, so i am stuck in my department for the next year. also, the written coaching stays on my record for a year, and my next step is a Decision Day - which means i get a day off with pay to think about my job. then, the next step is out the door. eeeekkkkkk!
so it sucks that i got it, but i know i deserved it (a long time ago), so it wasn't so bad. what pisses me off the most is that my attendance is better now that it has ever been, but the reason i just not received a written coaching is because the other managers over me didn't care enough to follow procedures. once i received 3 absences, i should have been coached. Joe, my manager, said that i have 5 right now (in the last 6 months) and numerous tardies. he said my other managers were aware of my attendance problems, but failed to address it. lousy managers!!!
