OFF THE WAL EXIT

Resignatio­n via store’s PA

- By JORGE FITZ-GIBBON

A fed-up Walmart worker made sure her bosses knew she was done — quitting in a no-holds-barred announceme­nt over the Louisiana store’s loudspeake­r.

Beth McGrath’s Facebook video of her unorthodox resignatio­n has gone viral, with more than 160,000 views and counting.

“Attention, Walmart shoppers and associates, my name is Beth from electronic­s,” McGrath said over the store’s PA system.

“I’ve been working at Walmart for almost five years and I can say that everyone here is overworked and underpaid.

“The attendance policy is bulls--t. We’re treated from management and customers poorly every day. Whenever we have a problem with it, we’re told that we’re replaceabl­e.

“I’m tired of the constant gaslightin­g,” McGrath continued. “This company treats their elderly associates like s--t. To Jarred, our store manager, you’re a pervert. Greta and Kathy, shame on you for treating our associates the way you do. I hope you don’t speak to your families the way you speak to us.

“F--k management and f--k this job,” she finished. “I quit.”

McGrath (pictured) posted the video on Tuesday and later followed up by thanking Facebook users who responded, saying she was overwhelme­d by the outpouring of support.

“I never intended for the video to blow up the way it did,” she said in a new post. “It’s been an emotional roller coaster for me and I’m just at a loss for words.

“I didn’t record the video for clout,” she said. “I recorded the video for my fellow co-workers, to let them know that I do love them and I do want what’s best for them. I wanted to be their voice, I wanted to be my voice.

“I am overwhelme­d by everyone’s support.

“If I had any advice from this it would be to say, do not be afraid to speak your peace, even if it tears you down first.”
