Lipstick on a pig doesn't change the pig. And for all of those interns who came & left due to the disgust of even thinking of working at Walmart- well to each their own. All that glitters is not gold but if you have been in the dream world of a university, time to figure out its hard in the real world. A company is not made up of shiny pretty things. It takes guts & heart. Anyone who has started their own business knows this. And yep- the culture here is now fake. But at one time it matter & meant something. And individuals moved mountains because they believed they could. No one thought 15 years ago Walmart would be a "me-too" place to work. I guess maybe there were signs but frankly executives should have just leveled with Associates & said here is the road map & here are what is required to keep your job. Don't fit or can't fit - thanks & it's time to go. We are now like every other work place in America. We pay you every 2 weeks & that's that. No more culture is coming along - take it or not. I think we could have adjusted fine if they just were honest. Hope the pretty new pig i.e. Building will be enough to keep Walmart as a actual retail company. And sure hope it has enough toys & trinkets to peak the interest of those smug chart makers & data pushers who never have to touch an item or a customer or work in a store.
OP is @PhKB5lH-4rse. Agree with everything.
