Qutting Wal-Mart !!??!!?

Question

Should I quit Wal-Mart for H-E-B (Grocery Store). I want to quit Wal-Mart for the simple fact that I was offered a job at another place that is more flexible with my shedule. The only problem is, I have only been at Wal-Mart for 1 week. How do I go about quitting, and will this affect me for future jobs? I also wanted to switch jobs because H-E-B pays every week, and being in high school I need the money ASAP and instead of waiting 2 long weeks for Wal-Mart to pay up, I get paid every week, which is a big plus for me. I know Wal-Mart offers a little bit more on benifits, but they are not good for part-time workers and you have to be there 6 months for them to start working, also I have the horrible job (AND HOT) of pushing baskets, and since I'm a minor I only get 5 hours a day (H-E-B gives me 8). So does this sound logical to quit Wal-Mart for the other job. Also they pay about the same, but H-E-B gives me a raise WAY sooner than Wal-Mart.

Answer 1

Sounds like the other job will be better, talk to your boss and tell him you have a better offer come in and you want to take it. Then ask him/her how much time they need to replace you. Usually 1 weeks notice is enough to not get you balcklisted from ever working their again in the future. Quitting a job shouldn't hurt your record but if you want to use it as a reference you need to leave on good terms....such as giving notice.

Answer 2

Don't feel sorry about Wall-Mart they have over a zillion sues and complains for abusing employees. Just quit this will not affect you in the future, just skip it from your resume (nobody put in a resume a job of only a week).

Quit, just quit, no need to give any explanation to them, but if make you feel better then just tell the true OR lie and kindly tell them you have personal or transportation problems or whatever excuse that make you feel better.

Answer 3

Just quit the WalMart job. You can give them a two week notice, but they will probably just say good bye. If they want you to work, just work a day or two for the next two weeks. Since you're leaving, you dictate when and what hours you can work. Don't worry about this following you around. It won't. In the future, when you fill out applications. don't even bother putting WM down as a previous employer. No one needs to know. I've been hiring and firing people for over twenty years, and I can tell you, I wouldn't care about it one way or the other.

Answer 4

Look for a job before quitting since they are hard to find.  Do a Yahoo or Google: Sam's Club 6625+management AND Sam's Club 6625+Tom P Noonan   Tom has Autism

A Handshake with Sam Walton affectionately known as Mr. Sam

Seven Wal Mart Principles - Samuel Moore Walton

FIRST

Protect Human Dignity

If you want people in the stores to take care of the customers, you have to

make sure you are taking care of the people in the stores. - Sam Walton

WAL-MART WILL AGGRESSIVELY WORK to ensure that employees are never mistreated through practices such as illegal firings, "off-the-clock" wage violations,

intimidation, sexual harassment, violations of child labor laws, or

discrimination of any sort. And Wal-Mart will justly compensate each associate

with a family-sustaining wage that will enable the associate to raise a family

without having to rely on public assistance.

SECOND

Ensure Quality and Affordable Health Care Coverage

create a team spirit when the situation is so one-sided, when

management gets so much and workers get so little of the pie. - Sam Walton

WAL-MART WILL SET A NATIONAL EXAMPLE by ensuring that all employees salaried, hourly, full-time, and part-time have quality affordable health insurance that fully covers the employee and their children. To make this commitment to a sound financial investment for the company, Wal-Mart will actively promote full-time employment for its employees and discourage part-time hiring.

THIRD

Use Market Power to Improve Supplier Conditions and Wages

We still want to drive a hard bargain, but now we need to guard against abusing

our power. - Sam Walton

TO ENSURE THAT MERCHANDISE in its stores is produced under safe and humane

conditions, Wal-Mart will require and ensure that foreign and domestic suppliers

adhere to all internationally recognized labor standards and national laws.

Furthermore, Wal-Mart will require that suppliers justly compensate their own

employees to the same standard set forth in this agreement for Wal-Mart

employees.

FOUR

Enable & Embrace Self Sufficiency

Maybe the most important way in which we at Wal-Mart believe in giving

something back is through our commitment to using the power of this enormous

enterprise as a force for change.- Sam Walton

BY PAYING A FAMILY-SUSTAINING WAGE, Wal-Mart will ensure that federal, state,

and local taxpayers are not forced to spend billions of dollars on public

assistance for Wal-Mart employees. Wal-Mart itself will not seek taxpayer-funded

subsidies that locally-owned businesses do not receive. And Wal-Mart will not

pit local communities against each other when selecting sites for Wal-Mart

stores or other facilities.

FIVE

Buy Local First

For Wal-Mart to maintain its position in the hearts of our customers, we have

to study more ways we can give something back to our communities. - Sam Walton

TO DEMONSTRATE ITS COMMITMENT to the communities and countries it serves,

Wal-Mart will always "Buy Local First." Purchasing local agriculture and manufactured goods strengthens local economies and secures the long-term

survival of small family-owned farms and other enterprises. And by expanding the

focus of "Buy Local First" to each country in which it operates, Wal-Mart will

show a firm commitment to supporting the suppliers in those countries that host

its stores.

SIX

Keep It Clean

like to believe that as Wal-Mart continues to thrive and grow, it can come

to live up to what someone once called us: the Lighthouse of the Ozarks. - Sam

Walton

EVERY STEP IN WAL-MART’S SUPPLY CHAIN will demonstrate sound environmental stewardship. Wal-Mart will partner with local community and environmental leaders to avoid environmental damage and other disruptions caused by the site selection, construction, and operation of any Wal-Mart store or facility. This includes conserving wetlands, animal habitats, and green space, as well as minimizing traffic delays and air pollution. Wal-Mart will also strictly enforce this "Keep it Clean" policy with all of its suppliers, both foreign and

domestic.

SEVEN

Prove Worthy of the Public Trust

As long as we’re managing our company well, as long as we take care of our

people and our customers, keep our eyes on those fundamentals, we are going to

be successful. Of course, it takes an observing, discerning person to judge

those fundamentals for himself.- Sam Walton

AS THE WORLD’S LARGEST COMPANY and as a global institution in a position of

great responsibility and trust, Wal-Mart will be open and transparent in its

dealings with the public, news media, and its own employees. Wal-Mart will

actively work to demonstrate its dedication to the moral obligations described

herein, and is committed to documenting and publicizing consistent progress and

follow-through on all of its public proclamations and initiatives.
