This is an interesting development. There is a CNN reporter posting on the SAMs page asking to chat with people.
He may find out more than he thought he would given Walmart’s recent shenanigans.

Because CNN is know for reporting factual stories. seriously looking to entertain gossip. Which is Alda’s because these are people’s familes effected
Apparently the guy is on Facebook posting. He is asking associates to get into contact with him.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this guy’s inbox fills up.
Is there even anything to tell CNN that they would be interested in? I thought layoffs were normal?
I mean what could a store associate possibly say? What could a home office associate really say. Nobody but the VPs know what’s going on and they aren’t going to talk.

Ben,
With the number of people in Bentonville that have been laid off, you could break several very interesting stories about Walmart right about now.
Age discrimination in these firings/layoffs
Ethics violations
Walmart’s quarterly layoffs that have been going on for two years or so now
Walmart’s treatment of its workers under the new rank and yank program
Walmart’s recent treatment of suppliers
Walmart being mostly non diverse in its tip top leadership again
#H1b visa abuse in Walmart’s tech sector/systematic offshoring of Jobs
Decline of company culture due to obsession with catching Amazon
I would be willing to bet that you could get good stories out of any of these topics. And people are upset enough to spill ALL the beans.
The same reporter was soliciting employees for spilling beans on SC on Facebook:

@kwy Several places are news worthy. CNBC, MSNBC, ABC news, CBS news, and more. I personally like the BBC world news on my Cox cable. I think Fox is too far right leaning for me. But I just can't take CNN anymore. Back in the day it was a good source, but those days are gone. Just my opinion.
@zum Where should I get my news?
Nah, it's true. CNN bites the big one. Has nothing to do with trump. CNN just suks.
Crying about "fake" news? Sounds like a trumptard. Enjoy your safe space watching Fox "news", snowflake.
All hail President Cheeto!
Well, if he's a CNN reporter you know the eventual report or segment will be slanted in a negative way, hyped up to total BS and full of made up or fake points. CNN has lost so much of it's credibility. If they're from CNN, you know they're full of BS.
