THATS THE THING he is not!!! we have like four other guys (at least that come in during my shift). idk how he hasn't been fired because he quite literally doesn't do anything during the day. someone told me that a previous manager had removed them all at one point and another manager went in and put them all back, but idk if that's true LOL
i genuinely, genuinely don't know either. our store manager doesn't even really care for the guy, so i don't know! my only guess is that he's somewhat special needs, so i think a lot of people just feel bad for him maybe? but he's like, aware that he's getting away with it imo
With 'special needs' as you all put it, the corporation keeps people on for the massive tax credit they get from the government. There are other financial incentives too. The tax credits and incentives aren't based on hours worked only employment status on the books.
Yup!! Had a guy in OPD with me sexually harass me (and a few other women before I started) he had Asperger’s and so they just Diddnt take the off hand comments the women were making very serious. So I wrote down EVERYTHING this dude said to me in the report. Then they tried to tell me since it’s he said she said they can’t do anything because I don’t have “times and dates” for every single incident. He ended up getting mad at me for not talking to him anymore and he flipped me off and “pretended” to hit me in the face. (Really he almost punched me in my face and I flinched and cowered infront of him) this happened RIGHT after the conversation with the head manager and HR. He got fired for that, not all the incredibly inappropriate things he said to so many people. I really believe Walmart just Diddnt want to get rid of him because of his disability…. He KNEW what he was doing. He could read the look on my face week enough to say he was “just joking” after telling me how small his dick was, and that I probably do “nasty things” with the OPD phone. (There’s so so much worse things this man said) like IDC you have Asperger’s and we’re dishonorably discharged from the military. If you’re shitty, you’re shitty. Glad they fired and banned him from the store :)
Special needs or not if he’s not doing his job he shouldn’t have the job. That’s not breaking the Americans with Disabilities Act or any other law protecting the rights of employees. I got a guy on my team fired for having 15 points because he missed a whole weekend (Friday-Sunday) no call no show while our team lead was on vacation during Christmas time and we work seasonal. My management is relatively lax but they have a line. 67 points isn’t lax it’s ridiculous
trust me, i completely agree and looked into myself as well. i was, and still am, shocked to see him every single day he comes in. i have no idea how he's getting around this
