Until WalMart
pays me an average of $25/hr, I'll continue to transcribe.
walmart
So, I know, what is the secret of making 25.00 per hour?
Well, will be boycotting them too, just like Walmart
No Coca-Cola in this house. Was going to boycott Walmart with that big scaffoo last week, until they finally caved. This is just getting so ridiculous - why do such a small minority of naysayers have such a loud voice. Maybe WE need to have a bigger voice and put a stop to all of this foolishness already!
walmart, wages, etc
No I do not work at WalMart, never have, don't intend to. I was told the wages recently by a greeter who works there, and she also said she gets a raise every year. I was surprised to hear it. I have never once told anyone to get 2 or 3 jobs, because I think that is easier said than done. I believe people need a life too. My whole point is simply that I think the MTSOs are largely responsible for the downturn of our wages by underbidding each other and then wanting to hire others to work for inferior wages. I used to work in a hospital and we did it all, transcription, charting, xeroxing, etc., and we did it well, made decent wages too. I don't think anyone should have to work 2-3 jobs to make ends meet. Especially in this job with its knowledge. I think you have misunderstood what I am saying. I am on your side! I am sure you are worth a lot more than being offered.

look at WalMart in news a lot sm
A huge organization what is it 8000 stores nationwide and they want employees to work off the clock. YEP and there was something else in the news regarding pay. Hey, a company that big know, they know the rules yet, they pay a fine and still come out ahead. Unfortunately it is whatever works. People have to be MADE to be honest seems to me.
and is qualified for not much more than being a greeter at Walmart
ever wish you could work at Walmart or somewhere and make enough??
There are days when I shake my head and wonder what the he** was I thinking 20 years ago when I decided this is the life for me. NOW I am stuck to the money like glue and nothing pays like this ... so I'm damned if I do ... damned if I don't.
We were shopping the other day and I thought Ahhhh bliss. To take a job at Pier One or Starbucks and SURVIVE ON THE MONEY!!
stupid industry. Thanks for sucking the joy out of what USED to be a decent job. pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffft
My daughter works for WalMart
plus excellent benefits, super cheap health care, vacation, etc.
WALLIE WORLD (walmart)
Where in this country does Wal-Mart pay $11 an hour? - even after 5 years in and at 40 hours?
Don't kid yourself, WalMart doesn't do American. sm
They'll have sweat shops all over India, China, etc., to do the work. It's how they do everything else.
That's what WalMart asked, OT off the clock sm
and was fined, BUT, they did it before too, according to the newspaper, so it probably is just a business write off deduction. Company nnames should be sent to the labor board and let them check it out. Present the problem, Google labor board for address and send in the names.
Greeter makes more than that at Walmart
And working in produce at Walmart is the next to highest pay grade they have there. Fellow MT's husband works in produce making three times the amount she does at $18 an hour 32 hours a week.
We usually get a gift card for Walmart.. Last year,
I donated mine to a single mom whose 10-year-old was not going to get a Christmas because mom couldn't afford it. I've been a single mom so my heart went out to her and I got a bunch of people to donate items i.e. tree, ornaments etc.. food, gifts etc. I felt good about it and I know my employer would have felt good about me donating it to a family in need.
No, I neither shop at Walmart or go to Disney World
Would not be caught dead at either place. Neither do I buy Levi or Lazy-Boy products since they moved to Mexico.
Walmart isn't too keen on chosing days to work.

Thank you. I went to Walmart today, and guess what, they had one phone and it didn't work!. Go
NM
Recall WalMart asked staff to work off clock for overtime, remember? sm
It was on TV, newspapers, it took a court thing to resolve. Guess people will try most anything (for the moment) and just pay a fine, i.e. the cost of doing business.
