I Am Married But Lonely

Married but disappointed!!

My husband has been working at Walmart for the past 3 Months. He works very hard, and has old school work ethics. He is also 68 years old with Arthritis n has a lot of pain n health issues. Although he tries hard (stocking shelves is physical work)
His managers don't look a day over 28!!! These doofs don't understand many things about life yet!
They give him a hard time when he had pain or whatever.
The harder part is he is so Pessimistic!! The worst at times.
He thinks they may try to let him go, because he has a hard time YET gets the work done.

Well it was nice having the extra money coming bin...

I can only hope for the best...

Or find an Amtrac Train.

SORRY FOR THE LONG RANT...

I hope he dose not over do it :( if you guys need the money then tell him not to injure himself if you can do without the money you may be better off telling him to just give it up and just enjoy life and go do what you guys want to do sometimes the money is not worth it you only live once :)

As many employees I see at Walmart standing around talking to each other, doing nothing, it irks me to no end that my they treat your husband that way

@Itsmrsockmonkey thank you for your kind words.

@aradia11 you're welcome. I'm old school too. It's just the truth

I'm sorry it has been such a difficult thing for him to do.
I know there is only so much one can do to manage pain, and having people who are clueless look down on you for being in pain is quite aggravating!

He needs to retire. That is hard work if you don't have arthritis. Good luck to both of you.

aradia11 · 61-69, F

@GJOFJ3 thanks...I wish I could make enough money so he can stay home.
Yet I don't. I can't retire for 3 years yet. I will have a pension n work...then he can stay home...in the mean time it's tough.
