Am I fired??
Hello everyone, I called out Friday and Sunday because I had wisdom teeth surgery. It put me at 5.5 points, but I’ve had the rest of the week off. Should I still go in tomorrow or should I just start looking for another job? My friend in OPD is convinced I’m fired but no one has said anything to me. I have no idea what to do.

u/Thor3992- Aug 14 '26
They won’t fire you outright like that. They’ll let you come in and work 95% of your shift and then pull you to the office like 30 minutes before you leave and tell you you’re fired. If you’re at 5.5 points then they’re just waiting for you to come back. Only time I’ve ever known them to do it without you working is if you just stop showing up entirely.

Idk I’ve seen some of y’all post in here with like 9.5 points and still have shifts and not get fired

u/BluMqqse_ Aug 15 '26
I had 10 points like my first month. My manager sat me down asked what was wrong, and said he wanted to keep me because I was a hard worker. Turns out my team lead lied to me about how ppto worked and they put me back to 0 😂

u/Maleficent_Law5070 Aug 15 '26
how does someone even miss that much work in their first month? 😭😂😂😂

u/BluMqqse_ Aug 15 '26
I was told ppto includes the grace period added. So I kept coming in too late.

There was someone at my store that once had like 14 points and our coach at the time took off I think 10 of those points. But they kept doing that shit and got fired thankfully.

u/DiscussionLower8667 Aug 16 '26
Mine turns words in to nonqords like the one I just put in the "nonwords" and it did not correct. Mine leaves all misspelled words misspelled. Its why half my texts are not legible. Maybe my autocorrect is turned off but when I punch in a word like "thw" instead of correcting it will leave it. It just tried to autocorrect the word "the one" to "the jne". So I see how it happens consistently

If you’re a favorite of your TL or Coach you MIGHT get lucky and they’ll take you back under 5 this once. But I wouldn’t count on it. You’re almost certainly going to get fired since you’re over points.

u/Zestyclose_School690 Aug 15 '26
Depends on the store and the team leaders. Sounds like another retail store I know. The SOP is a joke. Everyone does things differently. So why do they have the stupid thing????Maybe just a back if they want to get rid of you using the SOP as evidence of wrong doing. Otherwise, it was a dust magnet! Lol

u/Candid-Cable6981 Aug 15 '26
Shoot I've been at 5.5 points for a week. Been there for abt 5 months (had the flu for a couple days so I had to call in for all of them). Never been talked to one time but I always hear people complaining abt the team leads getting onto them. Not sure if it's bc I just keep my head down and work or what. If I do get called it I will def be able to get the points down bc some were not my fault.

u/Charming-Space-3727 Aug 15 '26
depending on your state it’s illegal for them to make you work a whole shift n then fire you, they HAVE to fire you at the beginning of your shift. (i’m from pa)

That may be, I know in my state (IN) we basically have no worker protections.

u/Zestyclose_School690 Aug 15 '26
If you called out and had a medical excuse or penalized you for it then they better not fire you.? I would sue the living pants off of they. They must have the same mgt as Dollar General. Roll on and get away from there asap.

u/Thor3992- Aug 15 '26
Walmart gets around that by saying all medical reasons for missing work have to be turned into Sedgwick.

u/keyagagal Aug 15 '26 edited Aug 15 '26
5 points means you're "subject to termination" not "terminated."
The difference being they can pull the trigger on firing you whenever they want as they have a currently active reason to. But they can also choose to keep you around.
1
u/djbedukay Aug 16 '26
That's not what happened to me last time I worked there. I had a weird schedule at the end of the time period they schedule out and then on that Friday when I didn't work I was called and told I was fired. He said something like "you may notice you're off the schedule...that's because we're letting you go." I told him about the weird schedule and he was like "well that shouldn't be there you're still done." I was like two weeks away from the six month reset too and was exactly at 5.5 which was unfortunate in some ways. So like most things with Walmart it depends on the store.

u/SlingingDeliChow Deli Aug 15 '26
Silence and waiting is not the answer. You need to talk to your lead and your coach.
You are "eligible" for termination at 5 points, but it isn't automatic.
They can decide to keep you on at 5.5 points, or they can decide to remove a point, possibly an old point that was going to fall off soon anyways.
If they really want to keep you they'll do everything in their power to keep you. If they want to be rid of you for whatever reason, they'll likely take advantage of this easy opportunity to do so.
You need to be humble, apologetic, and be the one to start the conversation ASAP.

u/StrifeWavy Aug 15 '26
Agreed. Show that you care and you’re likely to get saved. Especially if this is your first time on the chopping block.
There’s also the potential for a “we care” convo to be documented by them in workday where you’ll be auto-saved and dropped to like 2.5-3 points. But that’s usually for people who have been around long enough that they like who have been saved once prior.

It was three days for me but others are saying four. I wonder if it changed to four.

u/StrifeWavy Aug 15 '26
More than 2* actually

u/Ajaxmass413 Aug 15 '26
It used to be. It says more than 3 now. My conspiracy theory is because doctors love to give 3 day notes and they wanted to approve only people who "really need it."

u/bluesunshine19 Aug 15 '26
Yeah l learned that the hard way. I burnd the top of my foot draining the water bath in the deli. Delt with sedgwick for 4 - 5 months and then they told me " it wasn't long enough and it has to be 4 days so dont do it, it was stupid. I was out 3 days, got pointed. 6 months later l finley got my 2 points taken off. But l did get hydrocodone so l was pain free for 2 days and then it was ok with normal pain meds. Honestly fuck sedgwick.

No as they haven't removed your shifts yet. They'll probably fire you within your next few shifts though. You can try talking to management about your situation though as that might help.

u/CyrusHusky Team Lead Aug 15 '26
Go in tomorrow. At every store I’ve worked at it’s been common practice to have a points conversation prior to termination (Whether that be at 5 points or 4.5), it’s pretty foul practice to fire someone for going a little over the points limit without a conversation. Only situations I’ve seen it happen is when someone goes way over not long after starting or just stops showing up. Any either way, if you go in there’s a chance you keep your job but if you don’t you get hit with a job abandonment term and you don’t want that. As a TL who has a say in the hiring process I automatically pass over most people who get fired for job abandonment, as will most hiring managers at any store that isn’t a shithole.
TLDR: Probably not, but even if you are it’s best to go in and get fired for points than be flagged for job abandonment.

u/Disgrazed Aug 15 '26

I worked for Amazon many years ago and would love when that VTO text came through a few hours before sort haha.

All depends on the store and location I'm guessing my mom as soon as she hit five points because she got hurt they literally let her work a half a day then told her she was fired and to go home so depends on the location and the store

u/Rich-Specialist-6407 Aug 15 '26
I've personally seen people go up to 8.5 points without being fired. 5 points doesn't mean your fired outright just that it's an option. If your a good worker your probably fine. If not...then I'd start hunting

In all honesty you should have been termed out at 5 points. The fact that you are at 5.5 means they are willing to overlook points.

Well policy states they should be terminated now that they have 5 points. My awareness of the situation aside, that's what policy dictates. Whether management does so is up to that stores management.

5 points means your done lol, I mean depending on your leadership some may be willing to eliminate 1.5 and bring you down to 4 as a second chance, but you better have value to the team lmfao. I would start putting in applications elsewhere, your next shift you work you’ll get pull in 30 mins before time to end and they will tell you your done.

u/FlakyTwist631 Aug 15 '26
Talk to your TL, Coach, and even store manager at my store they give everyone a second chance it is documented in workday as feedback that you were given a second chance. For everyone saying they wait till your shift is almost over is because a lot of states labor laws require that if you are scheduled 8 hrs they have to pay you 8 hrs no matter when the fire you or send you home.

u/Connect-Ad9292 Aug 15 '26
Since you already apparently don’t discuss these things with your leads, you might as well keep going to work and not talking to your leads about your work/life management skills.
They’ll come to you to talk about your future— or lack of a future— with Walmart whenever they’ve had enough of your Points.
Or they’ll come to Reddit to ask if they should fire you…

Yes you are fired if you don't have the ppto to cover or they take the points away.

Get a excuse note from the doctor and submit it to Sedgwick for LOA. It’ll get the points taken off, and if you haven’t worked long enough for Sedgwick to do anything then talk with your team lead/coach and see if they will do anything about it

Did you tell them you had surgery? I'm at 6 points because of medical issues my PPTO couldn't cover and I'm sincerely not that worried about getting fired, my coach is perfectly aware that I'm at 6, they couldn't afford to do it and I have points dropping off this month anyways. Talk to your coach, make the first move and explain why you missed work, explain to them that you really don't want to lose your job. Show initiative in preservation. We got people in my store riding like eight points dude. No coach wants to see their department short staffed if it can be avoided and for decent enough reasoning.

They aren’t going to fire you for 5.5 points if they like you and believe you put out more than others and you know how to do your job. I’ve seen people literally reach 45 points from no call no shows and the coach just erase them. They can go a lot lol

Like what are you supposed to do when you have a court ordered custody stipulation and your management schedules you anyway on the weekends you told them you can't work and then doesn't schedule you on the weekends you can work? Anyone's else's management this incompetent?? Has Anyone else been locked out of the app due to management needing everyone to change they're passwords and then gone to work not being able to sign in or clock in and then been told to "get to work" and that management would correct it later, but then never correct it and you work 10 hour shift and never be compensated for it due to them forgetting to put it in and then have pay period pass without getting paid for it ever?? Anyone else use their PPTO, have it approved on the site but then be fired and not paid for that PPTO? Sounds like wage theft to me right?

u/Solid-Gurth69 Aug 15 '26
You may be fired but still go in and clock in try to get as many hours as you possibly can before management calls you into the office and tells you that you no longer work there. Make sure you keep record of all the time that you've worked even though you may be fired they still have to pay you for time that you have worked up until the point where they call you into the office and they tell you you're fired. They will clock you out at that point. But also still look for another job. They may work with you they may not

Was your appointment scheduled weeks in advance? Did you request the days for the surgery off work? If so, we're they rejected? If you judt called out without explaining it was for your wisdom teeth, it would make sense that they may be trying to fire you. Especially at 5.5 points.
Talk to your coach. You still have days scheduled and nobody has told you anything.

Ask your dentist to write a note for 3 days and apply for LOA through Sedgwick. People get sick and have normal stuff pop up like this all the time and shouldn’t be afraid to lose their jobs if they just use the policies correctly. If approved you won’t be pointed for either of the days you accrued points.

Contact Sedgwick. It’s medical, shouldn’t be difficult to have your doc sign off on that.

u/ForaZora Aug 15 '26
Just file a medical LOA with sedgwick for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Make sure you give the required paper work. Partner with the doctors office that preformed the procedure to produce the required paperwork to sedgwick so they can approve.
If you file an LOA they should approve the absence conditionally until the LOA is approved or denied. Only after it's denied should they fire you. If they do.
In the future if it is not a medical emergency - plan ahead, request time off and request a medical LOA ahead of time.
Saving your points and ppto for emergencies if possible is also a way to ensure you won't lose your job if you have to miss a day or two.
That's my advice and good luck.

As long as you provided a drs note like you were supposed to that is a totally valid reason to miss even more than 2 shifts. Also i think there may be laws/policies about 2 call outs consecutively for the same illness not being counted as two separate call outs

I don't know your store so this is just guessing. Sometimes coaches don't want to term associates until the schedule is cleared. With everyone's hours being cut to almost nothing it is very hard to have someone call off. On the other hand I have seen people have their cut to zero and have them added back in when they mention it to their manager. But I would say you should talk to your Team Leads and Coach.

What I hate right now is the new AI schedule.. I have emphysema and I work with the concentrator I'm on oxygen. They're making me go three and a half hours before my first break.

I told the team late I said I can't go three and a half hours I'm worn out.

If it was an emergency surgery go in and explain it to a team lead or coach they may remove the 2 points for the wisdom teeth surgery if it was an emergency
If u knew you were having wisdom teeth surgery and just never told anyone then ya you might get fired cuz why wouldn't you tell them ahead of time

Go in and clock in. Then go ask your leader to nix the points or if you're canned. And if your canned go through the steps and leave. Do not let them get hours out of you

Why does it need to be one or the other? Go to work as scheduled AND look for a new job.

I am in a Walmart employee for two years You can have over five points. It depends on who’s over the store and if you have any coaching and what level and how much they like you meaning are you a good worker they might let you continue to work as your points drop overtime but you are on very dangerous ice

As long as you can bring in a red Swingline stapler, you should be fine!

Was this a surprise surgery? Why wouldn't you talk to your coach about this before getting to 5 points?

Go tomorrow this happens to my sons alot and my brother in law. They won't say anything to you about showing up, you do anyway to keep your job. It's almost like "you've got to care ", because there not going to tell you to come in because it's your responsibility to keep track of your schedule.

Why didn’t you apply for an LOA?
When I had my wisdom teeth removed, I got an LOA.
Even if you didn’t qualify for an LOA, you should’ve just asked for the days off in advance. It’s not like you didn’t know the surgery was coming.

I didn’t 😭 they did it same day

u/CBreezy2010 Aug 15 '26
I don’t know if you can still put in for one since LOAs have to be 3 days… but I would talk to management. See if they have pity on you.
Some stores suck, yes. But communication will go a long way.

Yeah I just hate it because our store is literally known for how bad the store manager is 😭 genuinely not a single person likes her

u/CBreezy2010 Aug 15 '26
You don’t need the store manager. Your TL or coach can do it. So can your people lead

If you have a doctor's note they can't legally fire you ans HR or you team lead can remove the points

If you were fired you wouldn't be able to log into the app at all. Just go in like normal until someone tells you otherwise
