At Walmart can you get fired for losing your name tag?
So yesterday I went to HR to request a new name tag because I misplaced my old one. When I get there and tell her, the hr person threatens me saying If I lose this one and ask for one more, she will "send me home" claiming it means that I'm not prepared to work and that they can fire you for it. Is this true? I mean to me that's pretty stupid. In the 1 year I have worked at Wal-mart, I had NO write-ups, NO coachings, Perfect attendance (minus 2 call outs for bad weather) I clock-in on the DOT, every-time since I've worked there , and get compliments from customers somewhat often. This is also the first time I've ever lost a badge, The last one I've had forever and never lost it until now. Was it total BS? Or did she just used it as a deterrent to keep me from losing the new one?
To add, I am the only associate in TWO departments, and I have the most expertise when it comes to these departments, besides my dpt. managers.

Sounds like she was being a bully. I don't think that a company as big as WalMart would have a actual RULE about that, and sending you home, is NOT up to her. The store manage needs to hear about this.
My question, to the HR woman would have been, how much are you going to charge me, to make a new badge ? A dollar ? Really stupid on her part. Power tripping for sure.

Probably a deterrent. If you're an otherwise good employee they probably won't fire you for this unless it happens numerous times.

it's like not being in uniform or properly dressed for work. yes, they can send you home but not fire you for one infraction. it's usually just a threat so that you don't lose anther one
