Comments on: How to Sue Wal-Mart http://www.fivecentnickel.com/2005/08/23/how-to-sue-wal-mart/ personal finance tips, tricks, and commentary Mon, 13 Feb 2012 18:22:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Stacey http://www.fivecentnickel.com/2005/08/23/how-to-sue-wal-mart/comment-page-3/#comment-266072 Stacey Mon, 16 Jan 2012 17:39:19 +0000 http://www.fivecentnickel.com/?p=139#comment-266072 I took my car to walmart in Clarksville, Indiana for a simple oil-change. When I pulled my car up to the technician, there was no noise in my engine. However, when I got my car back, the engine was making a loud noise when you stepped on the gas. I immediately turned around and had the guys to listen to it. They all three admitted that my car was not making that sound before but stated that they were not mechanics, so they didn't know what the sound was. They then proceded to go and get a manager, she told me that I would have to take my car to a mechanic and that if it were proved to be walmarts fault, they would pay. I took my car to have it checked out, and was told that it was probably dry started. The lady at walmart assigned me a claim number and said someone from claims management would contact me. The man from claims management was told by the automobile shop that the car definitely had a lower engine knocking noise. However the man from walmarts claim management dept. denied my claim, stating that walmart didn't tear up my car. He claims to have a video-tape showing that walmart techs didn't dry-start the engine but refuses to give me the video. He said he had to go by the facts and I told him "the fact is that my car didn't make that noise until after their technicians got ahold of it, and the facts are that I have always had my oil changed regularly and can provide receipts to show that" But the man at claims management didn't want to really hear the facts he just wanted to deny another claim so that he might make a nice bonus. Its a shame that a corporation like walmart can just step on the little man, while their wallets keep getting fatter. Please provide me with some advice and maybe an attorney in my area that may be able to help me. Thanks so much...Stacey I took my car to walmart in Clarksville, Indiana for a simple oil-change.

I have been employed with Wal Mart for over three years. I have been a full-time, dedicated employee there for over three years, and recently I was called in the office and told that I was now a part-time employee. Come to find out, the manager who said I was full time, co-manager I might add, has recently been fired, and I have now lost all my benefits, health, dental, profit sharing, etc., and no one can help me. Thanks Wal Mart for screwing up my career! I will take the next available job offered to me, no matter what it is. I really hope someone reading this can do something so that it doesn't happen to someone else, or maybe they don't care as they are trying to chase out the full-timers anyway...go ahead hire all part-time help, and see where your store will be in three years. For God sakes people, get smart, and get a Union so that this cannot happen anymore. My next step is the unemployment office to see a veteran's representative to see if this is legal or not, then I will write the papers. I can top all of your stories.

My boss failed to comply with the conditions of the accommodation resulting in my having to take 8 week medical leave. Then I was released to return to work but must have the same accommodation. I was denied this accommodation even though it was the same accommodation for the same injury. The law changed in Mississippi June 1, 2011 not requiring employers to accommodate temporary disabilities, however, two other employees in the same store were allowed this same accommodation after the law had changed but not me. I was also harassed, belittled and retaliated against by my immediate boss during the time I was allowed to work with my accommodation when it was approved the first time I requested reasonable accommodation. The store manager and 2 assistant store managers were made aware of the situations and nothing was ever done about it. I contacted EEOC and they stated I have grounds for a claim based on same injury, same accommodation request and they had allowed 2 other employees this accommodation since the law changed.

Low wages and no benefits. This is ultimately a result of all the middle class jobs being moved overseas. Lou Dobbs was right and the only one speaking up about it. At the time no one was concerned because the "strength of the housing market" was driving the economy. What a difference a few years makes. Now service industry jobs are the best a lot of people can get. Service industry jobs have always been dependent on employee hiring and firing in order to keep wages low. Now that people stay in these jobs longer, they are inventing reasons to fire people. The problem will only get worse until middle class manufacturing jobs return to the USA. In the interim, retail jobs will have more problems keeping wages low and inventing reasons to fire people. The states will actually not care in order to deny unemployment benefits. At what point does being a "right to work State" cross the line into slander and defamation of character? Most employment lawyers work for "Companies" and are too selfish to sue on behalf of a single individual. It's going to be a long recession. Welcome to the new service economy.

Im 17, and I graduated tonight, why would I have wanted to mess that up? Anyway, I had my purse and me and my dad had bought a photo album and a couple of mt dews and started to leave. A guy comes up and says "Ma'am!" I turned of course and said "yea?" he said "u shoplifted" I said "no I didnt, you can check my bag" and he said "ull have to come to the back" and I just went, I didnt refuse to go or throw a fit. He said I stole some feminine spray and I didnt even know what that was at the time! So I go to the back with the guy and he says "take everything out of ur purse stolen or not stolen" so I dump out my purse, no big deal right? WRONG!! Since graduation was tonight and it was supposed to rain, I had some fake nails, some make up, purfume,and an umbrella. The guy took all that from me, tried to take the wallet my boyfriend bought me last week, and the photo album I JUST BOUGHT!!!! The officer came out and everything and I tried to tell them the make up was mine and I didnt steal it and two guys said "OH NO WE SEEN U TAKE IT AND STICK IT IN UR PURSE" they never brought up video or anything, BECAUSE THEY DIDNT HAVE IT!!! I have no record, never had a detention, suspension, or expulsion from school. Im an honor graduate, and very respected in the public. The guy also said I was acting to friendly to people! There was a bunch of old people there, I like to talk to older people they have a lot of interesting things to talk about! I talked to one woman whos uncle was in WWII and I was facinated listening to what he had told her. Whats wrong with talking to people in walmart?!

They can certainly afford it, and you'll get health benefits, no firing if you make too much, and standardized pay increases - plus, they can't deny you being vested into a pension. I'm not sure there is a suit that you'll win, you just need to organize and fight back!! One strong voice, why would you live in fear of losing your job if you get pregnant or sick?

I had to go to the hospital for emotional stress and hurt my back and rotator cuffs.They wouldn't let me file an accident report or use my light duty slips from my doctor. They told me if I couldn't do my job I could go home. I unloaded trucks and pulled heavy pallets and carts. They finally fired me by making up stuff that they said I did. I was crying every day. They belittled me and made me feel worthless all the time. I haven't found an attorney yet that has the balls to take them on. Hi, I noticed a lot of people needs to find an attorney.

I was terminated from this company for what one of my night shift mangers claimed being I was not putting out stock, which apparently I was doing in a deceitful way. At the end of my 90 day probation period I received a exceeded expectations evaluation and this was also the case for my one year evaluation. On my second year evaluation they gave me a met expectations however fired me a few weeks later. I asked my night managers at the time why I received the evaluation I did for my second year and they told me because things were changing at Wal Mart, for example instead of working two departments at night I would be expected to work four departments instead. As I did not know my two new departments very well it was taking me longer to work a department and therefore would miss a few items and not do my work as quickly. When I had been terminated I asked to see the store manager however this person said I was not as productive as this person would like and would not consider what my work load consisted of. I filed for unemployment however the unemployment office wrote to me as I had lost my job due to something I did without anything changing I would not receive any unemployment benefit. However something did change the amount of work this company expected me to do in a night shift at a store. I feel I should have received unemployment benefit or some kind of compensation for all the hard work I did do for this company. Especially as customers used to complement the help I provided them with. I worked at Wal-Mart between March 2007 and March 2009.

WM has become a hyper-stressful environment where employees, ever fearful of losing their jobs, are willing to do most anything to comply with the. whimsical dictates of management, many of which seem counter-intuitive toward profit increase. What will bring Walmart back to being an ethical citizen of the business community? Simply put...the big U. The most hated word in corporate Walmart...UNIONIZATION ! I myself have some philosophical issues with unions, mainly because of their excesses of the auto industries in the past, but Walmart has become an out-of-control giant answerable to no-one and with few restraints.

Wal-Mart is rude & disrespectful to its employees. They feel that it is all about them and not about the hard-working Laborers that put all the Stock on their shelves. I believe Wal-Mart will reap what it has sown. I also worked for Wal-Mart as an Asset Protection Assoc.

Even though they knew he had nothing to do with it the district management came down and fired him. First off, It's his step brother and only one person knew that was actually his brother, they don't work the same shift either. Do you think he has a good lawsuit on his hands?

What happened was a couple came in and were shopping for over an hour. Finally, they went up to check out and paid for their items, totaling about $763.00. They paid with a Visa card so there would be a paper trail of the purchase. They hid there receipt and pretended to leave without paying. A manager stopped them and asked for their receipt which they "purposely" could not find. The police were called and they were arrested. After they were booked for shoplifting they pulled out the receipt proving they did not steal anything. The arresting officer smelled what was happening and called the store. It was too late. False arrest, false charges, lawsuit, and they won. We found out later there really is nothing a store can do after the arrest has been made other than try to settle for as little as possible. I do not work for Wal-Mart any more and personally say good job to the couple. They should have held out for more.

This happen in July, and I was fired in August because of this. They said I could keep my job. I was also harassed by 2 mangers. I also worked the graveyard shift. I want to sue too. After I was fired from walmart I went back to empty my locker the next day, they had 2 men escort me to my locker and took my stuff from me that was in my locker. After 5 min of looking though it they said here is your trash back. I was then followed by one of them. Then 3 day later they called the cops on me and said I made death threats which I did not, and banned me from all of there stores. What can I do.

as well you got your benefits full or part time after 3 months now its 6 months full time a year part time…

8s yeah its gotten stupidly asinine now. if only i hadn’t screwed up a lot the last few years lol kinda stuck with walmart my self at the moment but its hard to go to work when you genuinely hate going.

the thing that gets me is how they try to tell you there above “unionizing” but at this point there really not. personally i wish someone would start the ball rolling and get a genuine unionization going. i suppose however that we who work there did sign all those papers to get a job saying we would “be fired” should any unionization be started or paper as such signed by us….

the messed up thing is walmarts working every angle at the moment and no ones really competing with them in the retail market give it 30 years tops and all we’ll have is walmarts..

However, I was moved to another store because my store manager was harrassing me sexually. I have about 200 TXT messages where he would include work related direction with sexual harrassment. He sent pictures of his 'business', would corner me in trailers, hang on me at work. When I was called to the regional office, they took my cell phone and started taking notes regarding what was in the txt history. They saw the pictures that were sent, read what was sent, etc. He was suspended on a Wednesday afternoon, then fired on that Friday. However, at my new store, my 'PAR' rating was dropped (meaning how soon I can be promoted), this wasn't the FIRST time that he was found to be engaging in this sort of behavior. I was working overnight and then put on days. Directly after all this happened, I was put AGAIN on overnights. I am wondering what my chances are in obtaining some sort of damages?

Agreed to the situation and was hire-able in 30 days. So in that time i was in contact with managers including club manager on a few occasions. To make a long story short i was offered a job back. There is a lot of potential to move up. i moved up 3 levels in about one month. Anyways i took the drug test and they did a back-round check. So i called the next day drug test went good and back round was pending. Now let me state for the record my criminal record has not changed since the being hired initially. Well after waiting 3 weeks with the pending now it came back "exception". Meaning they can not bring me in yet. Now i do not understand how they can hire me with the same back round and pretty much deny me with the SAME back round. I do not want to sue I just want my job back. Any advice, i am calling tomorrow in the morning to speak with corporate and explain my situation. Just to clear the record my back round has no drugs, theft, or any weird things of that nature. No offense to anybody out there. But mine is a OWI, from 8 years ago. Someone give me advice or something because im lost.
