The change, which became effective in July and was first reported by The Wall Street Journal on Thursday, will create consistency in starting hourly pay across individual stores
So instead of raising wages for people making below a liveable wage, they are cutting salary. All while the US pays welfare for the Walmart employees that don’t make enough to live. I guess they have to maintain that $3+ billion budget for advertising, because lord knows few people know about Walmart. Also have to maintain the disgusting wealth at the top so they can continue to
bribelobby gov’t officials.God damn, I wish we had a gov’t that could stand up to corporations.

Profits are up more than 2% year over year. Fuck these guys
Inflation is up higher than 2%, so that’s an effective loss.
Walmart is a shitty company, to be clear, but this isn’t exactly a sign of super healthy finances.
This is from Aug 17:
“Walmart reported Thursday a net profit for the second quarter that surged 53.3 percent from last year”
Net income for the quarter was $7.89 billion. They’re doing fucking fine.
“to improve staffing and customer service.”
Assholes.
How bout they raise the pay of everyone to the highest? That would make it consistant across stores.
I used to work for Walmart. Now i refuse to buy anything from them.
I cannot totally avoid Wallyworld but I avoid them as much as possible.
When I need a hacksaw blade on Sunday night there’s not much choice.
Totally get that dude. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. I unfortunately had to buy something from them to get my cars oil changed right then and there at 7 pm on a Friday.
But thats the most money i spent with them in years. I seriously cant atand them but of course im fortunate to have other options.
I don’t understand how they think this is going to help staffing when they will be unable to find staff in areas where there is a higher cost of living.
Fuck the Waltons
Good night, John Boy.
They had to lower there pay cause nobody wants to work anymore 🙄
So what is the most effective way to get these stores unionized? They’ll play hardball, threaten to close stores, and maybe even will close them. But something has to give. It is approaching time to force their hand.
They could have raised it too. Fuck Walmart!
Same here. There’s one flavor of one brand of cat treat that all of our cats will accept and I can only find it there. It’s a unicorn.
I’ll buy 5 bags when I happen to be in town, but that’s it
