Told the admins to fix the link.
But I bet your husband got paid a lot more than Walmart workers.
Exactly, as well as hospital workers, etc.
The unions are behind this Walmart smear campaign. They HATE it that they cannot get their foot in the door at Walmart, one of the worlds largest employers.
Can anyone think of a business boycott that accomplished something?
Not a sarcastic question, I’m curious if boycotts have worked.
If the sheeple would stop shopping on Thanksgiving day, the giant retailers would get the hint and stop opening on Thanksgiving day, and then nobody would be forced to work and ruin their families’ holiday.
I remember back in the day companies would pay any person working a major holiday double time or extra days vacation.
My mom worked at a phone company. Women phone operators with no family or no where to go loved working on Christmas day because they would get triple time.
A crafting friend of mine works at Walmart. The employees are treated like absolute CRAP, and not just during the holiday season. There’s no particular reason; it’s just because they can.
It’s almost like emotional abuse, and the employees are the victims of Stockholm Syndrome. I’m no bleeding heart, and hated whiners when I worked in H.R., but there’s a line and Walmart corporate has crossed it.
“Walmart shoppers are threatening to boycott the store after discovering employees aren’t paid extra to work on Thanksgiving.”
The additional discount is extra compensation with no tax burden!
“Geez, LEO hubby always worked holidays and never got OT pay.”
..and I bet great benefits that enabled him to retire in his 50’s.
” We did this to give our associates greater flexibility and more choice...”
Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha,
It couldn’t have been about THE MONEY could it?
There’s that word again, “choice”.
“associates”, now there’s another liberal word slipped into the lexicon, when they really wanted to use “comrades”.
What was wrong with “employees”?
Same with my firefighter hubby. We used to have our holidays on whatever days he had off. We just worked around his schedule. But that doesn’t fit in to today’s whiner mentality.
walmart can absorb a handful of people not shopping at a walmart for couple of days.
My nursing job gets holiday pay.
And I don’t shop Black Friday, and I consider Black Thursday a crime against society and the family.
No holiday pay? Hey, you get a break at the company store.
Auction shift slots off to employees. Increase pay to fill slots; decrease pay to reduce demand for slots.
Everybody’s happy.
Ultimately, that is probably what they do.
No, they're not. Fake news.
There is nothing wrong with this policy. They get to pick when to take their time off. (There STILL wouldn't be anything wrong with it in a real free market, which we aren't, but even in our fake free market, this is fine.)
Big deal 10-15% discount. Up it to at least 30% or higher for select dates. Then again a lot of Walmart employees could stand to up their game on the job. Asking for assistance in store is a crap shoot with them.
Walmartians threatening to boycott shopping at Walmart. ROTFL. What will they do with all that “down time”?
Lefties are ALWAYS threatening to boycott Walmart.
Walmart’s doing just fine, thank you.
