SUBJECT: Charles Judge Speaking Truth to Power!
August 10, 2009
Mr. Charles Judge
Valdosta, Georgia 31602
TO: The General Public & Wal-Mart Executives
(On Behalf of George Boston Rhynes Wrongful Termination
And Remaining Wal-Mart Associates at Store #2615)
As a former Wal-Mart Patron, and later employee at Wal-Mart Store #2615, located in Valdosta, Georgia at the time when George B. Rhynes was Department Manager of Sporting Goods. I must first inform Wal-Mart Managers and the American People that that Wal-Mart abuses its employees and covertly avoids customer service at store #2615.
I will first offer my view on my 1st Sporting Goods Department Manager George Rhynes. He was fair to all associates and always worked hard to try to satisfy the ever changing, (and demanding) task of reach around your ass to scratch your elbow work projects being constantly required of us.
[Our Wal-Mart Working for improvements on behalf of Wal-Mart Workers:] http://666onwalmart.blogspot.com/2011/11/if-we-can-change-walmart-we-can-change.html
I must explain that at Wal-Mart Store #2615 there are all chiefs and no Indians. One manager will come by and ask you to do a large, (often ridiculous) project; and about time you finish another manager, will come by and tell you to move etc., do something else, or undo it, then the previous or another manger will come by and want to know what and or why you’ve seemingly got nothing done. This scenario is played out daily and often with many projects simultaneously given without regards to previous assigned tasks and suspense’s.
This is the main reason why Wal-Mart isles are always piled up with boxes and pallets of indecipherable merchandise. In my case I applied during Christmas for part time cashier as I already had a job I liked and they liked me. (Manager and Arms Truck Stop)
After several interviews where by it was clearly, disclosed that I have neck injury problems and heavy lifting was out of the question, Wal-Mart offered me a position as sales assistance in Sporting Goods Department and my primary requirement was “to sell guns {which I excelled at} and constantly had customers lining up to buy guns from me. These customers also consistently told management of my outstanding service, attitude and product knowledge of gun sales and in the area of customer service. (Ask any of them)
My reviews resulted in raises and Wal-Mart asked me if I would quite my other job to work their full time. The old skies the limit speech I guess won me over to quite my other job thinking the grass was greener on Wal-Mart Side! And after seeing that I had a knack for gun sales, (that it just wasn’t Christmas Rush), I did give my notice to AMS and went full time at Wal-Mart and within day’s George was fired as Sporting Goods Department Manager. And I was asked to fill his vacant position.
Well after seeing how hard George worked and that his product knowledge etc. was top notch. I declined, not wanting to be put in the position of having to be in two places at once, and be responsible to try to satisfy and kiss too many asses, of who themselves were ever stressed with the same.
Well they begin laying Sporting Goods Department Managers responsibility on me anyway, without hiring the required amount of help. (They were already short two people shift in that department when I started and now I was alone trying to do the job for three, at the very least.)
But instead of appreciation I was told to ignore Wal-Mart customers to do heavy lifting of which I was not able to perform without violating my doctor’s orders. I complained that that was a violation of our hiring agreement and my doctors orders (which I provided a copy of) and was told by Wal-Mart Store #2615 Manager Hal Hallwell “that is why we have workers comp” what the hell man?
Anyway, I experienced what George was put through, plus to top it all off, I was hurt. And when the job orders had re-injured my neck (and put me down for months), I have yet to fully recover. They fired me for filling Workman’s Comp claim and refused to pay any Medical or Compensation until I was so broken I had to take a small settlement just to keep a place to live to maintain my family well being. This took a year.
On June 17, 2008 I was given a “pink Slip” stating no rehire. Then on June 17, 2009 I filed for unemployment insurance, as I want to try to go back to work but Wal-Mart claimed in writing that “I quit” thus exempting me from those funds. I considered this to be unfair, Un-American and against Workers Rights.
Therefore I have appealed my firing and disgraceful termination notice to the “Georgia Department of Labor” and faxed them a copy of all pertinent documents. In fact, I actually presented this document in person in addition to sending them a copy. Now they are entering other grounds not previously considered or ruled on. The point being George is on to something when he says, “Wal-Mart has become a “god beside God” and answers to no one.
Moreover it seems that Wal-Mart have become a dictator in this country (and likely others too). They have and are killing small businesses. I actually heard a Wal-Mart commercial pushing socialized health care on talk radio. Well, no matter your view on President Obama’s Universal Health Care (Communism). This is not Wall-Mart or any other company’s domain, unless they are government agents. This can of worms is endless.
Any way when you go to Wal-Mart and can’t get help or the employees avoid you when you need customer service please understand that this is what Wal-Mart Stores Inc. Executives wants and NOT their employees.
We get reprimanded for taking time to actually provide any real customer assistance. Wal-Mart only needs mules to move around a bunch of China Made Junk for American Suckers. It is becoming clearer and clearer that Wal-Mart Stores Inc. cares little to nothing about there workers or providing good service to their customers. Well not me, anymore. I have seen the light!
