Walmart is changing

WM is changing. The company used to listen to it's associates and customers, now it listens only to shareholders. Customers are not happy with the stores, employees used to be valued and are now just numbers, and all the out sourcing is just going to make things worse. Yes business has always mattered but people and values mattered too. The reason we had so many long term associates was because hard work and loyalty mattered. When there is no security, no caring and no loyalty from the top down, don't expect it from the bottom up. There is a downward spiral to employee moral that only can be stopped with actions from the top. Keep cutting people from the stores, keep filling the HO with temps and visa holders, keep outsourcing and the only reason to work for WM will be to ..... I don't know. What will be the reason?

Think that @W7qEXQk-dly hit the nail on the head with this post, so I reposted it as a thread.

What area did you get layed off?

Today is my last day with Walmart. My position has been eliminated. I was told that change is good and it's not personal, it's just business.

I've worked hard , for them, for 15 years, I've had excellent yearly evaluations, I've showed up to work when I've been sick and could barely move. On the cold ,icy , snow days, I've been there.

I've given them the loyalty that they've asked for. That loyalty only goes one way.

Not a company worth killing yourself over. You'll be replaced and forgotten in a day.

Nothing personal, just business.

The only thing that's changed is Walmart has dropped the act. Like all major successful companies, all they've e v e r cared about is their shareholders and the bottom line; it's just that, in years before, they maintained the facade of being a down home, family-friendly business that wanted to attract a large pool of quality workers.

Which they don't need now. In fact, they're reversing gears and dumping people right and left. Think of it as an 18th century slave ship where they've drastically under supplied the food and now they have to throw excess slaves over board.

It's the same game, just less concern for fair play ~*

If you don’t work in dotcom or international, it feels like you are just a cost to be managed.

Let's work thanksgiving and Christmas for normal pay, that should help morale and retention 👍 Myself and anyone with a backbone will be calling in sick, Walmart and the Waltons can kiss our a--! 👍

I'd like to know what Walmart you worked at they never freaking listen to us ever
