Will Wal-Mart take me back someday?

@dark_angel1715 Said

I got myself canned from Wal-Mart in January bc a coworker pissed me off. I used to work in ladies wear and one day, she came to a cart of returns and reminded me to put them away. I tried to explain that I didn't leave it there. They simply accumulated AFTER I clocked out at 10 PM, but she wouldn't beleive me. I hated being wrongly blamed, even though she said it's no big deal, so I kept trying to get her to believe me. When I didn't succeed, I took an hour long lunch break, clocked back in, and started a fight with her at the fitting room. mgt got involved and said they don't wanna hear another incident again.

A few days later, I found out from other coworkers that she didn't apologize or forgive me. I banged my head onto the fitting room pole in front of customers bc I was just too damned angry. Customer had a child with her and reported me. Next thing I know, I got canned for "workplace violence." Despite that, they made me eligible for rehire. I work another job now in a completely different industry and I learned my lesson. I also got my liflong anger problem resolved for good a coupla monhts ago. If I keep that job for a few years, will Wal-Mart take me back when I re-apply? What would be my chance at the same or different store?

First off, even if you hadn't been the one to leave it out, you should still have put it away. That's why it's called teamwork! Someone else might have just been too busy to sort it out. Also, starting a fight with a co worker is just childish - why did you need her approval so badly anyway?! If you have a problem, that's what management is for.

Well yeah, I woulda if I could. The thing is, all associate were prohibited from working off the clock. That actually gets you canned. Plus, the clothes accumulated over several hours after I clocked out. Same thing happened in lingerie dept once. Another coworker got all her returns done during her shift and her dept mgr came to a cart of returns and almost blamed her for it. She explained that the returns were left there by the overnight crew, who aren't usually responsible for returns. Her boss believed her. But yeah, I shouldn't have started a fight with her on the sales floor. The sad thing is, we used to get along, which is what makes my regret even greater.

If you were full-time I'd say there would be something about these inidences in your file. How long they keep that file after you leave is up to Wal-mart.

Chances are if you applied for work there again the same people would still be there - they could still phone people you worked with for references. If you have found another industry you like and enjoy I would stay there rather than going backwards, to where you were.

Why go back to Wal-mart? It sounds like you weren't happy there. I hear that you have your anger issues under control but a good way to test them would be to go back to work in the retail industry. In retail no-one earns great money, everyone is judged by what they do for the time they work, no-one gets great training except management, nor are they really appreciated unless they are in management.

i worked in the retail industry for 11 years. Trust me. I know what I'm talking about.

Where are you working at now that's supposedly actually worse than working at walmart?

@dark_angel1715 Said

I'm working at McDonald's and I don't think it's worse. I actually like it there. It's just that well, maybe I just wanna prove to myself that I could handle retail bc when mgt canned me, they said I ain't fit for retail.
