Doug M recent commercial on TV is a joke. He lies looking directly into the camera. They are NOT committed to taking care of their people as he states. Can you say vomit? No longer a family first company.

Don't know how reliable Buzzfeed is but..... https://www.buzzfeed.com/coralewis/walmart-raise-still-hasnt-arrived-for-hundreds-of-thousands?utm_term=.dclWDoe29#.thLPoNpGr
For the money they spent on that insensitive add I wonder how many people would still be employed there. And like the previous guest mentioned I am talking about good people with a wealth of experience. Shame on Walmart and shame on Doug!
Here is what I want Doug to know, there were some (some, not all) people laid off in our area that were the best people in the department, they were the innovators and top performers, what is up with that? On the other hand, we have more than a handful of 20+ year Sr. Directors who need to go; they cause problems and their industry knowledge is laughable to everyone, including vendors. We've tried to bring innovative savings ideas, etc. to these Sr. Directors only to be told "that isn't the way it has always been done." Keeping the 20+ year people who have outlived their usefulness and can't get employment elsewhere, while letting the top people go makes no sense whatsoever. Why aren't they cutting those that represent the bottom 10% from a performance standpoint? What kind of company allows the top talent to be cut?
I still work for Walmart and can tell you firsthand I have witnessed many people who have been treated like second-class citizens and the ones that have been let go in the last year were not as Doug says on that ad taken care of in the manner he stated. They were tossed aside like a basket full of dirty socks. And those of us still working here are scared for our future even though we know we are doing our jobs. Every day we fear we will be given a pink slip with no care or concern to us as individuals or families.
I totally agree with reindeer that commercial is so repulsive I turn the channel every time it comes on. Someone needs to make a counter ad or get funding for a counter ad to dispute his ridiculous claim.
