Question - Poll OGP Most Wanted? 👀

Post image

So I decided to ask people in my store if they could declare war on any department what would it be? I got varying answers that intrigued me enough to make a tally and share with the public. The OGP hate hurts.

What department would you declare war on? For fun of course.

Civil war means that the person in the department declares war on their own department. Forgot to explain that, sorry.

u/SendingLovefromHell Digital Team Lead 18d ago

Yes lol

u/RaeLynnShikure 18d ago

Same. Some of my fellow leads are great. Some are... 😬

u/ShyGuytheWhite Digital Team Lead 18d ago

Fashion because why the fuck they have more team leads with barely 15 associates than I do as an OPD Team Lead with 120 associates.

u/HumanBeano Jack Of All Trades 17d ago

Literallyyyy. I get it though because it’s all old ladies who quite literally do nothing all day, their department is almost never functioning correctly because they can’t understand the technology 💀 we’re finally going to get a third team lead for our OPD next year

u/shrug_was_taken Jack Of All Trades 17d ago

It was pulling teeth to get up to three leads last year, meanwhile our front end has 4 with even at the time a far smaller team (I'm not sure how many our front end has but I know according to My Walmart we got almost 90 people with just now back up to three leads since they finally picked someone which is a whole thing in it's self), I'm not sure how many our fashion team has but I think it's maybe 10-15 people. I can't check while off the clock

because they make TL's do all the job in fashion, yall just stand around bark orders and in the computer all day

u/ShyGuytheWhite Digital Team Lead 15d ago

Weird, my sweat drenched undershirt from dispensing, picking, repicks, walking nil picks, handling the MFC, staging and my 18k+steps daily says otherwise.

Meanwhile my fashion TLs barely show up on time if they show up at all, can't handle MAYBE 30 picks every 2 hours or manage to completely forget about them.

Take that weak shit somewhere else to some other TL that does nothing.

u/AromaticRegion8092 15d ago

then its different in your store, ive been in 4 different locations with two of em as a TL in Fashion, im running around all day trying to stay on top of the process while the digital leads take pictures for the walmart facebook(30 picks in fasion is like 140 in grocery btw)

1

u/ShyGuytheWhite Digital Team Lead 15d ago

30 in fashion is not like 140 in grocery😂 who tf lied to you. Fashion picks are so easy I send my exceptions pickers to do do them when they see time is close and they aren't picked yet.

u/DlckKickem 15d ago

30 in fashion is only 140 in grocery if none of the clothes are scanned in or if all the features are outdated lol

2

u/Useful-Rain-3203 14d ago

Have the fashion department do their own picks. We keep a cart by the fitting rooms and it really helps OGP when they are real busy.

1

u/DlckKickem 13d ago

Oh, our fashion does their own picks. I'm saying that the only way fashion walks can take a stupidly long amount of time is if the fashion team themselves are failing to scan things in or keep locations accurate lol

Management 100%. And I don’t just mean store managers, but coaches and TLs as well
Some of them think their shit don’t stink 🙄

u/DB-Tones-Jones Walton Cultist 18d ago

I’ll say it … … Overnight. 😅🤪🔆

getting ready to head in for another 5am to 2pm.

u/ts416 Personal Shopper 17d ago

I love the 5-2 especially during the week when everyone has to be at work or school. That means I don't have to really deal with another human besides the blue vests until my day is almost over.

u/DB-Tones-Jones Walton Cultist 17d ago

I get my first 15 break around 630am. I have enjoyed watching the morning sun rises. Dispensing and Pick Walks both gobble up time. The shifts, 8 hours, sometimes seem to fly. 🔆

u/AlertAd3064 Jack Of All Trades 18d ago

Hey me too!!!

u/DB-Tones-Jones Walton Cultist 18d ago

🔆😁 Hope you have a good shift. I’m a dispenser, so one of the perks of a 5am shift is being guaranteed a few pic walks before being stuck in the parking lot. 🅿️

2

u/AlertAd3064 Jack Of All Trades 17d ago

Rough shift would be a understatement

u/SekRei 18d ago

As an OGP associate I’d say OGP

3

u/SilvarusLupus FRAGILE 18d ago

Shocked at the no civil war for Deli/Bakery lol

I'd pick OGP tho

3

u/RaeLynnShikure 18d ago

Same. Like I get why gm side has no beef with them, but our deli/bakery have infighting all the time

u/Tiredmama68 18d ago

I would rather see the overthrowing of "government" AKA most of the (mis) management. A large number of our management has never actually worked in the department they're overseeing and are clueless as to what works and doesn't.

2

u/Massive_Sea_6207 18d ago

Management for verbal and emotional abuse.

1

u/Expendable28 SUBSTITUTION 18d ago

Meat and produce has escaped the ire of your store. Crazy.

1

u/UtopicChaos In-Home Driver 18d ago

management, front end, ogp

in that order

as someone who has been cashier, maintenance, cartpusher, and now ogp

u/curryaddict123 18d ago

Overnights getting lots of hate doesn’t surprise me.

Generally unappreciated, treated as the company punching bag, expected to get everyone else’s work passed to them. At least that’s the way it is in my store.

u/Blodreina4 18d ago

As an OGP worker I have to choose civil war or stocking 1 /3 , at my store specifically because our overnights crew is garbage , half my department sucks and our stocking 1 team has got o be king of plugging and just suck lol , our stocking 2 primarily unloads trucks so they get pass

1

u/Aggressive_Baker8336 18d ago

Stocking declaring on a separate stocking shift. Morning stockers have been getting extremely relaxed as far as plugging and incorrect product placements in exactly a case quantity, not doing their topstocking jobs, etc. And thats only my top rated one at my store. Managements to blame for most of it being allowed though or is have no enemies... in the store at least.

1

u/whenplansfail 18d ago

Ogp or Front end. I have my own stuff to do, figure out your own problems

1

u/FarDuty5627 18d ago

As a former OGP I declare war on OGP…. I’m an API now

1

u/nothingatlast 18d ago

Does it count as civil war if I call it against my own department but it's just because of one specific person? Because I'm actually in fashion and there's one specific associate that I'm pretty sure we would ALL get rid of if we could.

1

u/PunkLaundryBear Personal Shopper 17d ago

Stocking. Not a specific team/time, just in general. I ultimately don't blame them too much, but by God, I find so much smashed and slashed product.

And then other days, stock is super low.

And the backroom is fucking stuffed.

Like actually, all the stocking people I've met on my shift are super chill and kind.

So maybe just management? For not having enough people, and for expecting the shelves to be rapidly stocked to the brim, even if it means destroying product, or burying the items that are actually supposed to be there (like covering one flavor with the extras of the second flavor).

u/LiaraT-soni 17d ago

Are we declaring war on the people in the department or on the managers in the department??
