Advice: so I work at walmart doing stocking and yes its heavy stuff!!! I'm 5 months now and I know I cant lift that stuff anymore. They only have one position available which is overnight stocking which doesn't make sense. Because I'll be doing the same thing I'm doing now! Idk what to do??

Have you tried talking to the SM? Escalate higher if need be. Its not like your asking to switch positions completely, but to a different area where you have no problem lifting the freight.

Yes you’ll need a doctors note letting them know you can’t lift a certain weight. I had to get a note from my doctor stating the same thing about lifting.

what did the doctor put on the note? My doctor told me that I can only lift a certain weight I think it like 30 pounds but even that I tried not to do and my coworker knew about it and she was like no you’re not lifting anything, but my boss was a different story. He was trying his best to be an asshole about it until I spoke to his boss about it

Are you on any of the cap teams, or just a regular associate? I was pregnant on cap 1 and they would just have me be HBA cap associate, the freight was the lightest in the department. I would still cap bins, but only the ones I didn't need a ladder for if I was the one capping and always had someone available back there to grab the boxes I couldnt lift. To stock the heavier boxes, I just took a couple out if the box at a time to stock.
If you are just a regular associate stocking freight, do you have anyone in the department that could help you with the heavier things?if not talk to your ASM.
At our store, if a pregnant associate needs light duty they usually just stick them at the fitting room..but I think they need a doctors note

Yes I'm a cap 1 associate. I spoke with my asm and my supervisor he told me basically I'm not big enough. But size doesn't matter. I'm 5 months... and it sucks because they still have my pulling certain pallets etc. I told them to put me in pharmacy.

if you have a note then they should abide by it. They never aloud me to move a pallet, or work anywhere heavy from the time they found out ( I had help even before that) but it all depends on management. It doesnt matter how "big" you are if they have the proper paper work, they should follow it. I dont see how moving you to be cap for otc, HBA, or Cosmetics will hurt them in anyway.
