Finding the right job for you, with the right company & people, makes all the difference in the world.
Kupobob, is Walmart the only retail store in your town? I ask, because Walmart is well-known for being a huge, soulless company that demands that everyone be a tooth in a gear of its massive business machine. If you don’t (or can’t) do that, then it will either force you to comply, or kick you to the curb. Your manager’s insistence that you meet impossible speed targets that he himself can’t meet, is a perfect example of this.
BTW, is your manager aware of your medical conditions, or is he under the impression that you’re just a “dumb slacker”? Walmart may have a policy on workers with disabilities, that could help you. Read & understand it fully, before you decide whether or not to disclose your condition.
Maybe you’d do better working somewhere other than Walmart. If you can find a smaller, or independent, store to work in, you will probably find it easier to fit in. This is because the owner or manager can make compromises, if you need some sort of accommodation in order to do the job. Also, a smaller store has far fewer distractions than a huge Walmart does. If your area has some sort of “hire the disabled” program, you may be able to get some placement assistance, and the store may even be able to get a subsidy, as an added incentive to hire you. Look into all of this, before you even hint at leaving Walmart, and, of course, don’t leave your current job until you’ve found a new one.
