Customer Service Desk
To Whom it May Concern:
I am tendering my notice for termination of employment. I will no longer be working here as of the 20th of March 2020. I apologize for the tardiness of this notice, but when somebody wants you immediately it has to be so.
I would like to say that I do this with a heavy heart, but I cannot do so. I had hoped that moving up in the company would be something that I could achieve, because I did like working here. But circumstances have proven that all I am ever to be here is a Service Desk employee. I have put in for numerous positions within the store and have never gotten so much as an interview for those positions. I find this untenable and therefore I must leave for something else.
I would also like to say one more thing. I used to shop regularly at the Plymouth Rd and Middlebelt location. I shopped there merely out of convenience because my bank was in the same location and I cashed my paychecks at the bank. I say merely out of convenience simply because I HATED constantly having to wait in lines that were 20 or 30 minutes long but I could do my banking and shopping at the same time. When I changed the location of my employment, I never stepped into another Walmart until the day I was being considered for employment here at this Walmart 10 years later. This constant scheduling of only 1 or 2 cashiers in the busiest times of the week, Fri evening through Sun, is not only wearing on your customers, but on your employees. I personally have been getting burned out at being the only person at the service desk with lines that stretch past the restroom with no consideration from the management. I might still shop at Walmart, but Meijer is only 2 miles away from my house, and they seem to have enough people staffed to do the job. Remember K-Mart? Well that is the main reason people stopped shopping there. Walmart is seems thinks they are too big to fail and that it doesnât matter if they are sucking a half hour out of their customers lives. K-Mart also had that attitude, and look where they are today. I have 25 years of management experience, and this is definitely not how I would run a store. Take care of your people, because they are your greatest resource, and you arenât donât that right now.
Thank You for your time.
Barbara David
