Happens in big companies, but just wanted to bring it up. They increase their demands without supporting their staff, like headcount, training or necessary spending. Remove all incentives and easy going, fun, happy place to work atmosphere with high pressure.... fake pressure. They hope moral tanks enough to weed out the people who are not robotic minded, lemmings and “yes sir” workers and quit. That leaves young students and immigration status limbo-bound people the only ‘incentivized’ employees that would put up with this c—p and help the incompetant direction. What say you to this observation???

@2qjx Not entirely sure. I am seeing a lot of new faces and the old 'crusties' I am used to talking to are not around much (as much) anymore.
Are the out of stocks because the product wasn’t ordered correctly to the stores or because there’s no labor to stock it?
Or both?
@ykv And if the products are in stock...... The empty shelves at my local WM are astonishing. Especially frozen foods and produce.
ykv, the prices don't seem that low these days.
They just want walbots these days. Or Wal-holes.
The culture really seemed to change to me when Walmart bought Jet (though it feels the other way around). So Jet didn't do well on their own . Then Walmart grossly over pays for them and probably took on some of their culture practices too. Most notably the new Evaluation system
Yes it’s a non caring place to work now! That’s why I don’t work there!
I feel bad for my friends.
I guess they don't care about higher turnover. It will happen. I refuse also to brown nose to get ahead. There will be even more of that going on.. And they wonder why the AES scores have been so low?
WMT has an EDLP/EDLC business model. You can’t have low prices without low costs. Additionally, the business model is not based on product leadership/product innovation, as with companies such as Apple, Medtronic, GE, or Whirlpool. As such, the profit margins are substantially lower. The other issue is the ecommerce sales have lower margins front the “last mile” of delivery. The best managed companies are always looking to drive productivity in the enterprise.
