[QUOTE="Goku, post: 4068572, member: 75489"] Seniority doesn't exist at walmart. Yes a 5 year employee might have more going for them than someone starting at walmart, but there is no "seniority rules" clause like there is at UPS. If you work at walmart for 5 years it doesn't guarantee you anything over someone who got hired yesterday, you will get no better treatment. You certainly can move up at walmart by applying within, but again it is corporate, there is no union at your side making sure you get seen for your length of service and treated fairly during this process. It would be misinformation to compare these two employment situations as equivalent. You have a lot of negotiating power at UPS even as a preload sorter working at the very bottom of the foodchain. At Walmart they can just fire you if they feel like it, and they do let go of people all the time for whatever reason. I've only heard of people getting fired at UPS for being extremely stupid, I'm pretty sure you can miss 6 months of work at UPS and show up on the 7th month and you'd be back to work after a write up to not do it again.
