The retailer says the change will create consistency in starting hourly pay across individual stores.
Weird how that consistency can’t be created by raising wages.
One of the top employers whose employees use public assistance like food stamps cutting starting wages? This timeline sucks.
they hate their customers just as much as their employees, those stores are nasty
meanwhile, record profits and unprecedented wealth for one family
“Consistent starting pay results in consistent staffing and better customer service while also creating new opportunities for associates to gain new skills from experience across the store and lay the groundwork for their career regardless of where they start,”
Ok miss PR person. Please explain your rationale cause that shit makes no sense.
I worked somewhere that was killing off their QA department and in a company wide meeting explained it by saying “when you go to a store a pick up a part, you expect it to have gone through QA” Lots of head scratching that day. They still don’t QA their products. They just ship them and let the customers complain if something is wrong.
Reminds me when we had three companies merging at the same time and the bosses brought everyone in to tell the grunts and sales people that no one will be losing jobs. I ask, “You know when you move in with someone and you have to get rid of a set of dishes. Do you think you need three sets of dishes?” Yeah, so there were tons of lay offs.
Why even lie about it. Anyone smart enough to be worth something at the company is also smart enough to know better. You’ll lose everyone you can’t afford to lose.
Remember, they’re not anti-union, but they’re not neutral either.
EDIT: Since people seem to be missing the joke here, this is a common line in anti-union propaganda training videos.
I worked for a Wal-Mart once. They literally have anti union propaganda in their training material
Also Ross. They’re a gross company that treats their workers like shit. When you start working there they give you pamphlets on how to sign up for social services like food stamps. They also have one of those employee funds, where everyone pays into it every month and if someone has an emergency they can use money from it. Maybe if they paid their employees a livable wage they wouldn’t need makeshift insurance funded by their impoverished workers. So fucked up.
They literally got rid of the deli meats counter because they voted to unionize. They are completely anti union
the in-store butchers and bakery, too, iirc.
The only cutting that Walmart needs is senior executives’ necks. With a guillotine.
Then insurance company execs
don’t forget those at the top at giant huge telcos and internet providers.
