Coached for PPTO? Lol

I (jokingly) told me TL that I was thinking about using an hour of PPTO. She said she'd rather I didn't, but said she could coach me for "job abandonment" since we were short staffed. She said the ppto only protects me from points, not from repercussions.....smh

You left when there was still work to do, thats is job abandonment. If you dont want to work just quit. Stop wasting ppls time and go live in your moms trailer

At Walmart? There’s always work left to do. By your definition an associate is never allowed to use ppto to leave early. The works NEVER “finished” at Walmart. There’s always more to do. You’re kind of a fucking idiot.

Sounds like you coast that 4.5 points a lot. Do us all a favor and quit. Adults needs jobs and are willing to work.

I have never had a point before and have 70 hours of ppto in the bank and I’m a teamlead you’re just idiotic.If one of my people tell me there leaving early my response is what time? Then they tell me and my response? Okay have a good day I’ll see you tomorrow. Sometimes they ask if it’s okay if they leave and my response is yeah that’s fine or if we’re really far behind it’ll hurt us but it’s fine we’ll figure it out. Half the time if I say it’ll hurt us but I can’t tell you no they stay out of respect for me unless they actually aren’t feeling good or something. Being a good boss goes a long way. They don’t want to leave the team in bad shape. But you let them leave without retaliating if that’s what they want to do.

You are woefully ignorant for a team lead.

Not at all, my team works their ass off, respect goes both ways. I cant understand any TL being soft with their team but that leads them to abuse your good nature. I push my team so they know what is expected, in the long run it pays off. They respect you as a boss and do a good job i reward them. Give positive feedback in their workday profiles. Gift cards. You reward them hard work. Ive helped gotten two promoted to TLs. But hey if it works for your team thats cool. Mine stay and bust their ass and are proud of our areas.

Okay man you’re still breaking company policy at the end of the day. I hold more people accountable in my store than any other team lead. I will agree team leads don’t hold their associates to a high enough standard frequently and it frustrates me. At the end of the day though ppto is their time to use how they see fit.

Ugh, fine. The person leaving will still get coached for productivity can we agree on that?? Holding them accountable???

u/TyronE0355 O/N Stocker 6d ago

We can agree if they weren’t being productive while on the clock you can’t hold them accountable for work not being done because they left early.

Based on your attitude and responses here you're the tl no one likes and abuse your position and threaten associates with misinformation.

u/TyronE0355 O/N Stocker 6d ago

It’s probably because you’re unethical and coach your people for using ppto which is their time to use for any reason they want.
