Wal-Mart Horror Stories

Somebody from the CWA sent me this link. Here's an excerpt:

"God forbid if you are injured on the job. They do everything they can to force you out and make you quit or just flat out fire you. Their basic belief is that every accident is your fault. If you have one you are forced to go to classes on the weekend for several weeks to learn about safety and write essays on why you were injured. If you do not show up for these classes you can and will be terminated. "

These ludacris comments are very entertaining, of which NONE are factually based. As an associate at the Home Office of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. in Bentonville, AR, I am dumbfounded by the ignorance of today's general population who "hate" Wal-Mart. If so many people really don't like Wal-Mart then how did it become the WORLD'S largest retailer? Easily. No, not because they supposedly underpay their associates to preform similar tasks as others at competetive retailers. An excerpt from Stan Cox @ AlterNet:

"Last spring, I did a little amateur research that illustrated how Wal-Mart's wages can fail to provide for even a rock-bottom living standard -- even at Wal-Mart prices. Email responses arrived over the next few days. Among the many colorful "I hate Wal-Mart" messages were notes from some critics who maintained, via arguments worthy of Dr. Pangloss, that the company's wages are just about right, because otherwise no one would work there."

He goes on with ex-employees statements that show exactly why they are EX-employees. They apparently were not coherent of Sam's 3 Basic Beliefs:
Respect for the Individual
Service to the customer
Strive for excellence
__________________
Another excerpt: "Wal-Mart isn't the company it once used to be. It's all about the mighty dollar now, and who cares about the little people?"

This comment supposedly came form an ex-employee who previously stated that he/she had been a member of management off and on throughout their 8 year career.

As a matter of fact, I am really not even affected by all of the negative publicity that my great company attracts. Jealousy is what it boils down to. Which is not really uncommon when you are a company tha employs 1,485,000,000+ associates.

Look at it like this...Things bad about walmart will come up, as they will also pass on and readers will become content again, yet to awake tomorrow to a new story about how wal-mart supposedly under pays and overworks.

Thank you for posting the info. about Wal-Mart's anti-worker policies. Here's another excellent article about Wal-Mart: "The Wal-Mart You Don't Know -- The giant retailer's low prices often come with a high cost. Wal-Mart's relentless pressure can crush the companies it does business with and force them to send jobs overseas. Are we shopping our way straight to the unemployment line?" [http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/77/walmart.html]
I don't know if it is mere coincidence but my former employer seems to have adopted the Wal-Mart cost-cutting strategy and joined the race-to-bottom in wages and benefits. NCR Corporation of Dayton, Ohio is a supplier and service provider to Wal-Mart. NCR built and supports the Teradata Warehouse software so critical to Wal-Mart's business operations. NCR has also taken steps to slash expenses throughout the company. NCR has outsourced many white-collar and Information Technology functions to India. Within NCR, the rumour is that at some point, @75% of the NCR workforce will be in India -- not the U.S. The "Services" division of NCR has contracts with HCL Technology of India leading to large job losses in the US and use of foreign visa workers in US NCR locations. Within the past month the Dayton Daily News reported that the "Finance and Administration" division will be outsourcing several hundred "white-collar" jobs (such as accounting) to India. Meanwhile. the Teradata Division of NCR with which Wal-Mart deals directly, is also eliminating U.S. IT jobs and moving to India. See "Teradata claims 40% saving by outsourcing development to India" [http://www.brainbox.com.au/brainbox/home.nsf/0/6B34FF097B23BB81CA256CC5002226D7?opendocument]
"Data warehousing and CRM division of NCR, Teradata, says it's claimed major savings and benefits by outsourcing development to India. Rather than doing development in-house, Teradata contracted Saytam Computer Services of India to build and staff its ODC. Saytam provides a range of high-end development life-cycle facilities for the company, along with product enhancement, support and maintenance services."

it's real sad that Wal-Mart is Pennsylvania's biggest employer.
