    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. 😵‍💫
