Calling in Sick at Walmart Canada: A Guide for the Dramatically Inclined (and Everyone Else)
So, you woke up this morning feeling like a deflated pool float, and the thought of wrestling pallets of toilet paper fills you with dread. Calling in sick is never fun, but at Walmart Canada, it doesn't have to be a total drag. Here's your step-by-step guide to reporting your absence with a dash of humor (because laughter is the best medicine, even if it's just for you):
Step 1: Embrace the Drama (But Not Too Much)
First things first, channel your inner Shakespeare. Picture yourself delivering the news of your absence with the flair of a seasoned thespian. "Alas, a terrible misfortune has befallen me! I fear I shall be unable to grace the shelves of Walmart with my presence today!" (Just don't go overboard; you don't want your manager thinking you're auditioning for a soap opera.)

Step 2: Choose Your Weapon (of Communication)
Walmart Canada offers you a choice of battle cries:
Tip: Read the whole thing before forming an opinion.![]()
- Phone it in: Dial 1-833-925-9355 and deliver your Oscar-worthy performance to the friendly voice on the other end.
- Go digital: Log in to one.walmart.com (assuming you haven't dramatically thrown your laptop out the window) and click on the "Report an Absence" option. It's like online theatre, but with less tights.
Step 3: Remember, You're Not a Mind Reader
Clearly state the date you'll be absent, and avoid cryptic messages like "I'm feeling under the weather, but not the kind that comes with an umbrella." Be specific, but keep it professional. (Unless you're going for the "hilarious, slightly unhinged" route, but that's a risky strategy.)
QuickTip: Read with curiosity — ask ‘why’ often.![]()

Step 4: Recover (Heroically, of Course)
QuickTip: Pause after each section to reflect.![]()
Now that you've successfully reported your absence, it's time to focus on your heroic recovery. Hydrate like a cactus in the Sahara (water, people, water!), **stock up on cough drops that sound like thunder (because why not?), and **get some rest that would make Sleeping Beauty jealous.
Remember: By following these dramatically inclined (but still responsible) steps, you'll be back on your feet and ready to conquer the shelves in no time. Just avoid using this guide as inspiration for every sick day. You don't want your manager to think you're more drama than the clearance aisle.
P.S. If you're feeling extra ambitious, you can leave a funny voicemail for your colleagues, announcing your absence in a dramatic voice. Just make sure it's work-appropriate (and doesn't involve impersonating animals). We all have our limits.
