yakrafter | Why complain about how Walmart treats their employees when no one forces them to work there? |
Can they not just leave and work somewhere else...and if there is not something else, does that not make what they have going at Walmart a pretty good thing?
It seems the best way to solve job issues is to create your own job and stop asking others to create it for you.

Are folks suggesting that we create a legal code of coduct of employers...it can be done...but it will cost jobs.
Every business I have started was started with $0 - likely the same amount of extra money a walmart employee has to use to start their businsess.
There is definitely enough business oportunity to go around - all you have to do is do it better or cheaper and you can even displace an existing business...with no money down...you just have to be creative. |

Maybe it's time some people realised that workers have a right to be treated with respect and with dignity by managmeent.
As a manager You must at all times remain respectfull of your subordinates treating them like **** went out in the late 1800's thats why unions were born in order that the workers had their rights upheld and weren't treated as though they were something distastefull on the sole of a managers shoe.
So I disagree with your statement If the workers are being treated unfairly then the management should be held accountable for deplorable workers rights violations.. |

well, unlike people with professional degrees and such, its hard for the working man and woman to find decent jobs. what other option do they have? go work for mcdonalds or some other retail store and be treated exactly the same? not everyone has access to opportunities as education or the ability to go get that education (time and money). Not everyone can occupy high paying jobs. So before you judge, next time you go into walmart THANK the cashier and tell her/him she is doing a good job |

It's easy to say "why don't they just quit and get a better paying job"? In the real world, it's not quite that easy.
People who work at Walmart often have few alternatives. Some are in small towns where there are few other businesses to hire them. (I've worked in a couple of those small towns.) Many workers have limited skills. If you never went to college, you're not likely to get that $20 an hour office job with the company-paid insurance. There are not enough of those to go around, anyway. For many, the choices are lower paying jobs which don't require a degree. You may not be "forced" to work there, but your alternative might be unemployment.
Not everyone is capable of succesfully starting and running their own business. If they could, everyone would do it. I formerly worked for a company where most of the entry-level employees were high school grads. They were great people who worked hard, but most were in no way capable of running their own businesses. They lacked the education and business skills to do it. Our schools no longer require graduates to know basic math and English. How do you create your own business without that?
Do people aspire to a job with poor treatment, low wages, and lousy benefits? Of course not. If they could just walk out the door and go to the next store, they would. The fact that they don't tells you that there aren't many better opportunities for them.
If Americans are so indignant about how Walmart treats employees, they should simply stop shopping there, as I have. Walmart prospers because most shoppers are more concerned with getting something for a buck cheaper than with helping to provide their neighbors with decent jobs. |

It is the lawyers that want to make money makes the employees complain or sue, we are in a country that you can sue everone for anything. Individual employees will only go to management or human resources. |

Oh, more uneducated individuals to deal with! It's the principle of a company making billions and passing the health care tab to tax payers. Please, educate yourself!

You're right, of course. But to answer your question about why people make those complaints, it's the same reason they complain about companies who improve peoples lives in the third world by offering them the alternative of working in a factory, usually referred to by socialist reality-evaders as "sweatshops." The complainers need constant crisis to persuade people to give up their freedom and grant infinite power to the thieving tyrants of their socialist ambitions. |

Well Sure, No one is making them work there but shouldn't everyone be treated with respect in their work environment? Walmart or not Walmart... Employees. Wherever they work, should be treated right! |

This reasoning allows companies to get away with whatever they want simply because they provide jobs. Jobs aren't everything -- ethical behavior is also important.
If your employer suddenly decided to cut your wages in half, would you feel that your hands were tied simply because they had done you the favor of saving you from unemployment? Of course not. We still expect high standards from our employers, and we expect there to be consequences when employers are exploitative.
I'd also be interested in hearing how you think average people can "create their own job." The ability to do so is a rarity, and the economy couldn't support thousands of former Wal-Mart employees all trying to "create" their own jobs. |

Having formerly worked for Wal-Mart a number of years, I can honestly say that many times its the company's change in policies and procedures that hurt their associates. And it's not so much quitting and finding a new job...Wal-Mart has a strange grip on their workers that attracts them to stay there.
When I decided to "get out" I was paranoid and thought I would lose my house, cars, possessions; everything. I thought Wal-Mart was my savior. I already had another good paying job lined up with benefits, but for some reason I still wanted to hang onto Walmart. So instead of quitting, I "adjusted my schedule" so I could work Wal-Mart on the side. Why? I felt like if I quit my whole life would implode. Other workers feel that way too. And when it wasn't working after several pleads with management to not schedule me on days I was working my other job, I finally got the guts to put in my two weeks. And as the days approached, I began to detoxify from Wal-Mart and saw it for what it really was - a corporate steam engine with workers who are blinded by empty promises and an apparition of company ethic.
The best way I could describe my relationship to wal-mart - an abusive co-dependent relationship. The company promises to treat you nicely, and *sometimes* delivers, or at least sidetracks your complaints by focusing you on little treats here and there but never actually *solves* the problem; and then makes you WANT to stay because you think you will never be able to find anything else.
I've talked to other wal-mart employees who feel the EXACT same way. |
