Walmart is known for their attendance points system which feels pretty egregious especially the "double point days". You get sick for 2 days in holiday season and now your job is one more sick day from over?

Clock in late: 0.5 points. 1 point if you're late more than half of your shift. It has to be more than 9 minutes past your shift to be considered late.

Leave early: 0.5 points (if you stayed at least half of your shift. If it's less than half then it's 1) Always let management know when you're leaving early. Otherwise they can fire you for job abandonment. It has to be more than 9 minutes before the end of your shift.

Call in: 1 point. 2 if it's a key event day (a lot of people call these "double point days")

No Call No Show: 3 points. (1 from missing the day and 2 for not calling in. 4 if it's a key event day)

Once you have 5 points, you can be fired at any time for attendance.

PPTO can remove any point except ones from not calling in. There's no way to remove those.

Once a point has been there for 1 week, it's too late to use PPTO to remove it.

Points aren't automatic. Management has 2 weeks to deny/approve it. If they fail to do so, it's automatically approved and no point is given. So don't think you escaped a point just because it doesn't show up right away. It usually takes a few days.

Idk what you expect me to say, I put in my comment that it does happen especially at big publicly traded businesses. As I said in my comment only a third of the US works at such companies and Walmart doesn't even represent all of that third. There are 163 million people employed in the US, Walmart employs ~1.6 million people in the US. That means Walmart represents about 3% of people who work at publicly traded business or 0.9% of people who work in the US.

Honestly though, most people look at Walmart jobs as the bottom of the barrel, Walmart needs you more than you need them. I just looked up the career page for my local Walmart and they have 32 positions they are currently hiring for, with how few employees I see I wasn't aware 32 people even worked there.

Honestly saw my reply in support of yours, so not expecting you to say much of anything.

Ah, gotcha, my apologies. I took your comment to mean that you disagreed with my comment.
