I for one want to be an optimist because firstly, this is my job. This is my career, and this is the life I have known for almost 12 years. I’m not burnt out, I’m not checked out. I love what BBB once stood for and I understand the change because I’m educated on how retail works. I live the life and I’ve done plenty of research on the industry. My passion is working in retail! I choose to be here because I want to be. If you don’t want to be or don’t want to be apart of the change then go. He doesn’t need contacts or glasses. But I’m sure he is going to see some great stores, and some not so great. But if he ever read this, I would be grateful. He genuinely seems like he wants to help us succeed. Sure he will need to do what all CEOs do to ensure panic doesn’t set in. Whatever. But what’s wrong with being optimistic? Those who are tend to work harder to achieve the goal set and will help turn around a goal. Anyone in store management knows this is true. Just think of when we coach an associate for beyond store orders. When they are pessimistic saying they can’t get 2 orders a day and that it is impossible, it will be for them because they won’t put effort in. When associates are excited and are optimistic they will reach or achieve their goal. In 12 years I’ve seen it time and time again. Either put in the work or go. You want the company to turn around? You want your store to comp? Put in the effort because they can’t wave a magic wand and make it happen. People are the change in all of this. They sell, they procure the new product, they plan the planograms, the work the freight. It’s all about the people. I challenge everyone reading this to start to motivate their associates and be optimistic and see the change! Even if you don’t want to, know that it’s contagious and once you get on board you and your store will be happier for jt!

To #Bethechange: 1. Your blind allegiance to this chasm of endless greed must have been what February 1945 in the Third Reich was like. And 2.: If you're so convinced of and sold so completely on Walmart....
