WM better hire 100's more associates to work at the stores if this is implemented. This is FT work if I ever saw. https://www.thestreet.com/story/14263536/1/smile-walmart-s-cameras-are-watching-you.html?puc=yahoo&cm_ven=YAHOO&yptr=yahoo

Any updates?

I'm thinking of posting a review on Glassdoor about my experience at Walmart. You can do so anonymously. If I were a potential new employee I would definitely want to know about all the layoffs and restructures before I moved to a Bentonville.

I know we've all been brainwashed to reject unionization, but it is probably past time to think about it at the HO. If I hadn't been sh*t-canned in April I would definitely consider it. That might be the only way to make execs in fairyland take... — read more

How nice. From 7/24 to 8/6, thousands of HO associates can once again pat management on the back! Or maybe they can wise up and tell how they really feel for a change?
