    Sounds like the shitty corporation I walked away from over 2 years ago without notice. Walmart is such a shitshow, it’s only held together by the few who give enough of a shit to treat employees right. Their policies are employee hostile and customer neutral in most cases…I feel for my friends that are busting ass there still.

      I worked at Walmart before 2010, and witnessed how they were getting rid of 20+ yr employees that had accrued higher wages and benefits, to replace them with part-time people working for nearly minimum wage and no benefits.

      The worst one I can remember is a very old man working outside in the garden center in central Alaska during winter. He was written up for having a coffee cup.

        Yeah, that’s what a lot of the policy changes accomplished here as well, they got rid of quite a few old timers before reverting most changes! It was bad, as a knowledgeable staff was cut down. 😵‍💫
