Sounds like Walmart will have to strengthen those rules about guns in the work place. Banning them completely wasn't enough.
-
Sounds like the manager just couldn't take another Black Friday.

Woman in my wife's fat lady group (https://tops.org/) chapter, quit WM because working there was so stressful. "Suicidal ideation" bad.

Walmart has a split personality depending on what part of the company you work at. My son and his darling wife (our favorite child) both work at a WM distribution center. He's in IT and she works QC. Both transferred to the DC from the same retail location. From what they say the DC sounds no different than any other logistics operation I've heard of and is generally not a bad place to work. The retail store they started at was and is an absolute nightmare to work at as far as management goes and how employees are treated.
The manager that was running the store 10 years ago when the kids transferred out was an *expletive deleted*bag of epic proportions. Routinely chewed out his employees publicly and just generally made an ass of himself.
Not long before he left that store the A-hole manager was in the act of rather loudly and crudely chewing out a young, school aged cashier for a minor mistake when her rather large and burly father just happened to walk up. The father was arrested on a minor misdemeanor assault charge ( the charge was later dropped but he was permanently trespassed from that store). The manager was reportedly a little less brusque with his employees after that.

Team Leads*, especially overnight Team Leads, have a lot of pressure on them. They catch crap from 3 main groups - salaried management, customers and employees (aka "associates") - and nothing they do is enough.
If he felt his crew was screwing him over he could have fired or reassigned them. Immature entitled little *expletive deleted*ck didn't/couldn't realize that though. Instead, "gotta make them pay for hurtin' my feelz".
That's my guess on the why. Maybe we'll find out what the real reason was.
*Team Lead = wage grade management. Responsible for just about everything from hiring to firing, training, getting objectives met. They don't have the final say on anything, that's reserved for salaried management. Expected to "pick up the slack" everywhere, while trying to manage 2 to 8 (or more) departments. I've considered, for about 45 seconds, putting in for the position. The few $$ more per hour aren't enough.

Wrong color. Gotta shut this thread down.

I only ever hit that Walmart if I was on the way to an indoor IDPA match and needed more WWB. My standard walmarts were Hampton or Newport News. The Waffle House in hampton close to the walmart has five armed guards on Fri/Sat night. My favorite gun shop down the street had a mag lock on the door and you had to buzz in. Carrying two guns was just something I did for years. Too many people.

Sheeeeit... My 'hood ain't THAT bad...
