unfair to female employees

Without adding fuel to the fire, in Wal Mart, women are 85% more apt
to be promoted into management as well as blacks, hispanics etc.
because of being sued in the past. I'm sorry that you didn't get the
promotion and even more sorry that you ever had to work there.

The majority (probably 90 percent) of people that claim they were
fired because of their gender, race or sexual performance were fired
because of performance.

Sadly all the false claims make it harder for the people with
legitimate ones to get them through. My friend works for the EEOC.
The time she spends on baseless complaints takes away from the time on
real complaints.

A typical fired person is one who was late or absent a lot or didn't
meet standards and claims they were fired because of race or gender.

From your letter, you appear to be illiterate.

No wonder you weren't promoted.

Did someone tell you that the reason you were passed over for
promotion was strictly because of your gender or is this simply your
opinion? If no one came right out and told you that, you are merely
speculating. Communication is the key. Schedule an appointment with
your manager and ask why you didn't get promoted. Lose the attitude
and the preconceived notions and really listen to what they say. I
suspect it had nothing to do with being a woman. Ask them for tips
and advice on how to go about getting promoted. Be respectful; you
are seeking information, not declaring war. And then follow the
advice. You cannot rant and rave as you did in your letter and expect
anyone to take you seriously. All that will happen is exactly what
you see here-- people making fun of your poor spelling and worse
grammar. You aren't ready to be a manager, that's obvious. So work
on yourself, polish yourself. A new attitude and some spelling and
grammar lessons are needed. I am not being sarcastic, I assume you
honestly want to better understand this and I am telling you why I
believe no one would promote you in your current state. This holds
true not only for Wal-Mart, but any business.

Um, it does not seem to me like this is the place to be complaining
about something like that. Seems to me like it's a good way for you
to get fired.

I have to agree, how do you know it was because you were a woman?
Promotions are based on a persons qualifications, not so much tenure.
If you truely feel you were sexually discrimiated against, you may
have a valid legal case against Wal-Mart, but be sure you have solid
ground other than the fact they gave it to someon eother than you. It
is a big deal when you file a sexual discrimiation case.

"trsh" wasn't given the promotion because she WAS a woman.

Are you no longer a woman? Was the operation a success? I think
you've gone too far in trying to prove your case. Having a sex change
is really being extreme. Well, now that it's done, go back and
reapply as a male. See if you get the promotion.

*Sigh*

Well if you talk the way you type a letter I can see why your
"anagers" would not give you the promotion.

u WORK for the place and your complaining HERE? i can tell you one
thing. your attitude would have made me pick the man also. good luck
with dealing with your store manager in the next upcoming days for
making the already crappy company look even worse:)

This is a consumer web site. If you are an employee with a complaint,
you may get better response from Human Resources.

Good luck.

I don't work for Walmart, never have. Sooo, let's play "what if." What
if I was giving an interview to you, solely based on what you wrote.
What job would I give you?

Not even a "dumpster duster!" Even if the dumpster really really
needed dusting!!

You were not promoted not because you are female but, because your
attitude and vocabulary could stand a HUGE improvement! Bosses do not
suffer fools really well. If this is the way you communicate to a
corporation, I can only imagine how you present yourself in public, in
person!

I've always said that the way you treat others is the way you will be
treated! You were treated more than fairly! I would have fired you had
you come to me with that kind of "mouth" and attitude!

I suggest you step back, regroup and come back wtih your attitude
fixed.. 'cause it really is broken!

Dependability and professionalism are certainly factors in
considering someone for promotion. However, how many children she has
or whether her husband suffers from alcoholism are definitely not. It
is just as illegal to ask her those questions as it would be to deny
her a promotion due to gender.


I'm fairly sure that Wal Mart is smart enough to avoid a blatant
lawsuit waiting to happen, so I assume there were other reasons
involved here.

I bet I know the real reason you did not get the promotion. Did your
interview go anything like this.


Manager : Now you applied for CSM, why do you think that you should
get it.

You: Well, first of all I am a woman and you only hired 3 women CSM's
and 4 male's so if you don't hire me than you are discrimating against
women. Second, if a customer pisses me off and treats me like
crap_o_la, I will not get pissed off at them myself, but however if
you do not give me the promotion I will get pissed off.

Congratulations, you've just accused Wal-Mart of sex discrimination,
which is a serious charge and one that needs to be backed up by solid
evidence.

And you being passed over for a promotion does not count.

Furthermore, if your grammar and language in this letter are any
indication of how you talk to people at work, it's no wonder you got
passed over for the promotion.

Somehow I think they had other reasons for passing you over for that
promotion. Just a tip, when writing to a corporation about a
promotion, leaving out the word "crap-o-la" might help.

Well you sure lost the job now with this letter.

Perhaps they were simply being fair to the more literate employees and
promoting them instead.

The letters of complaint on this board speak volumes of a persons
educational and professional level. This one is no exception.

I remember the first time I got drunk. It sounded a lot like this.
You'll feel better in the morning after some sleep.

No, no, don't try to sit up. It'll just make it worse.

Nighty night. Here's a bucket if you think you'll be sick.

Maybe they gave Trish the promotion and not trsh!

Seriously though, I am sorry that you did not get the promotions, but
if this letter is indicitive of your professionalism and abilities,
what do you expect??

Yeah, you seem like "Employee of the Year" material, what with a
public letter to your bosses criticizing them.

Hmmmm...Since when did WalMart hire ten year olds?

"trsh" That is an interesting name.

You did not get promoted because of your sex but because you are a
lousy typist who can't spell a single word. Now stop bashing Wal-Mart
and do something better like taking English class.

From the way you write I can see why you didn't get the promotion.

Grow up.

I'm thinking maybe you got passed over because the job required
spelling and punctuation skills and possibly the ability to construct
a coherent sentence.

Perhaps you were passed over for a promotion because your attitude
sucks and they don't customers complaining to Planetfeedback that they
went to the store in such and such and had to deal with a rude manager
named Trish. Or maybe when filled out a promotion form you made tons
of spelling and grammar mistakes like in this letter. Or maybe you
did not leave your job and were fired(probably for yelling at a
customer) and are playing the discrimation game.

Let me see.... Where to begin....
1. Capital letters are good things. "I" is ALWAYS capitalized.
2. "pissed off" is not something you say to people who have the power
to promote you, or leave you in your empty no-where position.
3. Writing a letter that looks like it comes from the stereotypical
uneducated bumpkin walmart employee does not help your case.

The stereotype I mention really isn't true... I think most people will
agree... BUT letters like this one don't make it easy to believe that
there really are smart people working there.

I'm all for equal pay for equal work, but, baby, go back to school!
It even looks like you misspelled your own name!
