For those who think Sam Walton is rolling in his grave......guess what....Sam was the first to say we have to embrace change if we want to succeed. Change is what keeps companies moving forward. If you cant handle change, GET OUT AND LET THE REST OF US HAVE YOUR HOURS!! You don't belong in retail.

Very true. Sam was all about accepting and embracing change. He would be proud to see what his little 5 and dime has turned into. As for the associates, it was Helen that made sure he took care of them and treated them right. Sams quotes make for great sound bites but she is the one that got the benefits put into action.
Sam always wanted to "Do More with Less" - so......If it were me we would start doing more by getting rid of YOU!!
You will not be so bold and outspoken when they let your a-- go Mr or Mrs Kool Aid drinker
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Yes Mr Sam embraces change & loves to do so. And we jumped thru fire to make it happen. He never did it at the expense of the Associyeyor Customers. Very fun post...seriously. Walmart was nothing but change from 1962 to the early 1990’s. Then it began to go all over the place..still is
Not bitter, thank you. BUT quite disappointed, yes!
Sam Walton is rolling over in his grave about your post that he isn't rolling over in his grave . He wouldn't agree how workers are treated like the TV show survivor.
To kmu2 your part of the problem. Everyone is bitter except you. Your time is coming.
It is true-----Sam Walton was not the angelic, Karma dispensing hero of the working man. None of these super rich American capitalists are. You can't get that big by not being everything we've come to hate in our One Percenters. He might be roasting down in hell, but he is not rolling over in his grave.
Any talk of what Sam Walton would do in the 2019 retail environment with a company the size and scope of today’s WM is speculating at best...nobody has any ideal...
I doubt that Sam wanted the 3rd generation to simply listen to consultants that charge 10,000 dollars for a PowerPoint slide. Current WMT management are anti-intellectual. All they care about is doing exactly what the consultants tell them to do. Plus, ensuring that the most important thing is purging the company of straight, Christian, white males asap. Identity politics, diversity & inclusion and equality of results are the most important priority. The H.R. function is destroying the company.
Get over it? Wow! Are we bitter??? Agreed. Nothing is constant but change at Walmart. BUT....with all changes MUST come some Respect. That's all most of wish for.
