A woman's TikTok post in which she alleged that Walmart terminated her employment has gone viral
The clip posted by Jacee Buhr, or @jaceeyoulateryouwh0re on TikTok, received more than 340,000 views and 1,090 comments since it was uploaded on November 22.
"F*ck Walmart I literally trained my replacement went to lunch, came back and got fired," the caption of the video read.
In the footage, Buhr, wearing a yellow Walmart vest, looks at the camera and walks through the employee hallway at the store.
"I worked here over a year," the on-screen text on the video read. "And I'm 'such a great worker' but I just got fired?? Jobs should have to give you a 2 weeks notice."
Buhr mentioned in the comments that although she was allegedly fired, her name can still be found on the schedule. The location of the Walmart she referenced is unknown.
Many users in the comments section left tips for Buhr, including getting corporate involved in the situation. Others recounted similar situations in which they alleged they were also fired from Walmart.
"Bro what u just said word for word happened to me at Walmart," one person wrote. "Made a huge deal about it called corporate got two weeks in free pay."
Buhr replied that she needed someone to tell her how to go about that, and many told her to call human resources at Walmart. Others advised Buhr that she should file for unemployment benefits until she is able to get a new job.
But some users were quick to mention that Walmart's contract states that the company can fire employees without notice.
According to Walmart's Firing and Termination Policy, as of 2021, Walmart is free to terminate contracts at any time as long as it does not violate the company's discrimination policy.

The reason Walmart is able to fire employees without notice is that it operates staff on an "at-will" basis. Walmart also does not need to provide a reason for termination, unless it was based on discrimination.
Walmart also utilizes a points system in which employees will be terminated if they receive five points in a six-month period. Some situations that would result in points include unexpected absences and calling in but not showing up for work as scheduled.
Some users in their comments mentioned that Walmart has a "history of firing employees out of nowhere," while others remarked that it only seems to terminate employees who work slowly.
Newsweek reached out to Walmart and Buhr for comment.
