Well the guy threatening me with a knife was friends with some of management and they came down on me for the fact that he wasn't doing his job. He was in charge of making him do his job but I got threatened by him and in trouble with management every time. They then came down on me for not getting his work down for it. I tried to report this to corporate but they never returned my emails or phone messages. then it turned out this guy was buddies with some officers who work for the state police and they started to harass me in the parking lot and call in false complaints about me being rude to costumers and such to get me into trouble.
it was at this time my dad got really sick and I wasn't able to get my meds. Management decided to make things hard on me by giving me hours that I had told them I could not work because I was needed at home. i tried for months to solve the problem but one day right after threatened and yelled at by management yet again the stress became too much. I had a full blown panic attack and dropped to the ground outside the store, when people started bugging me about it I flipped out and just threw my name badge and discount card away and ran off in the middle of my shift. I now know how stupid that was and I wish I had handled it better. I know how insane this all sounds but it really happened. Needless to say I could not go back after that and since my mom needs her job there I couldn't really make any trouble for them. Plus it was just my word against there's and they had the police on their side.
Still I guess there was some justice in the end. The store became such a disaster area that a new manager was brought in and about a year later the guy who made all the trouble for me threatened her and she called the local police and he was a arrested. I don't know what happened to him after that.
I have tried applying there again but because I walked off the job the computer reject my application. I talked to the new manager and she said she understood but because of the way the system is set up and corporate never got involved she can't do anything to change that. So Wal-Mart is out.
I know this was a long winded post but it really was a long story as to why I left Wal-Mart.
