A little update. I havent turned in my resignation letter yet due to the fact that I want to hand it to my store manager. She is on vacation until Monday.
Also, for the comment that said Wal-Mart has been paying my rent, food, etc. I take that as an EXTREME LOW gut shot.
I have done everything I can for this company. I was pulled two week early in my training to go to this new store which is 40 miles from my house. They put me in a different district from what I was originally brought in for.
I explained to my district manager my concern for having to travel well over an 1 1/2 hours to get to work when I live literally 5 minutes from another store that needs assistant managers desperately. I was basically told "Too bad,you are stuck here"
Also, I hate to try and act like I am better than my fellow associates but I have decided to further my education and receive my degree. To me, I feel I am bringing a competitve advantage to Wal-mart especially when it comes to my knowledge of employment law and managing. When I expressed my concern and passion to go back to college and earn my MBA I was told by my store manager that "You dont need that".
To me that statement says how Wal-Mart feels about education and "family".
In two weeks our schedules shift from working 52 hours a week to nearly 66 hours a week and 6 days a week! For those that DONT know this, Wal-mart managers are salaried, no compensation after 40hrs.
Basically this breaks down to the average department manager making more than me!
When I receive an offer I will find out when they need me to start and turn in my resignation accordingly.
I would like to thank everyone who put in their .02 cents.
