stock to be processed was due for following monday,after approvals which they sat on for 3 days(thursday) i was to process 500 units.units arrive on friday. i spend the weekend doing my thing but could not finish all units by monday morning. i did finish monday evening. they say due to being late on the project they were to fine me $500 because of lost sales. the job literaly only paid $750 total after being beat up by the bidding war i had to go through to get the job in the first place.
this is how they pass on the savings to you "aggressive purchasing"

| | A Wal-Mart employee got injured in a car accident. She had full coverage from her medical insurance from Wal-Mart. She is bedridden and her family got a settlement from the accident around $60,000. This was to take care of her in a good fashion with in home care around her family and kids. In all paperwork for Wall-Mart insurance and benefits there is a section that states any money rewarded to an employee may be recouped if medical or other assistance is paid. Wal-Mart and their insurance group (that wall-mart owns not uses) sued to recoup the $60,000 settlement for the disabled lady. She now lives in a home away from her husband & children plus in home care is so much better. This is evil.
Yes she did sign the document but if you don't 1. you lose your job or 2. you don't get benefits. What a deal! Especially when there is a high unemployment rate.
Wal-Mart is not the only big company that started doing this.
I guess Wal-Mart is the DEVIL and we fuel it's fire. I still go there on occasion it's almost unavoidable for me.
Oh I also asked a guy what he makes. He said ge started at $8 and makes $9.75 now in 2008. I was offered a job there in 1996 starting pay $12 to $14 dollars. WTF is going on?
Everyone if you ever sign papers don't just scan them please read them. Then unfortunately some of us will realize we half to sign them if we want to pay rent. Sell your rights/soul or live in poverty maybe both.(yea great) I understand it's not like this for everyone but it is for a lot of people. Be thankful if your not one and help the people who are.
An Im realizing there are a lot of people out there who only care about themselves  !

| | Wal-Mart along with the rest of conglomerate America is evil. No one will win this fight, its like telling a die hard "good 'ol boy" Republican to vote Democrat. Its like asking a yuppie who likes his GMC Hummer (Model: EarthFucker 300) to exchange it for a Nissan. Or convincing someone who says "Heh he, if this is global warming, how come its so cold" to realize that global warming is real and adjusts climates. Now for my 2 cents: To those who closemindedly state "I love Wal-Mart, its better because x,y,z.... SO WHAT IF ITS FROM CHINA," the reason why the Chinese can make the products so cheap is because it is a Communist government which strictly limits the citizens. They have a billion people, with that many people you can fill factories to make assembly lines and pay the employees less than what it would cost to install machines to do the work. Many Chinese citizens live WELL below the poverty line, and to say its okay to exploit a group of people is an unethical ethnocentric worldview. Its bad enough most people who support Wal-Mart are anthropocentric, now you have (and see it here even on this site) a segment of the population who openly and stubbornly feel it is acceptable to say "fuck everyone else." When the price of gas gets too high and the costs of produce and products get too high for the median American household income (of $49,890) and most suburban yuppies don't know how to grow anything other than a genetically modified tomato, let alone clean their own game, this nation and possibly world will be in for a big eye opener. And those of you who defend Wal-Mart because of its "low prices" (which means you are of the median if not lower income range) WILL be the first to feel the pain of the economy collapse. If you look out only for yourself and fail to acknowledge your place in the big picture, you are setting yourself up for unavoidable failure. This is true in relationships, economics and finances, religion, and most importantly life.

| | Corporate highs don't make any sense. And to anyone saying that bashing wall-mart is bullshit, go get a fucking education. What's bullshit is the fact that Wall-Mart has taken over america by stepping on minorities by paying unfair wages to support their manifestation into an overpowering moral statement of "MO MONEY, MO MONEY, MO MONEY!" Feeding this mindset to the already extremely gullible American public is a selfish and cruel way to condition your mind into a constant state of consumption.
If you realize this and still shop at super-power corporations that dictate your every want and desire, then get a job at one of these white-trash producing animal farms. When your 90 day trial period has ended and you are let go without an excuse, then come back and tell me what's up.
and if one of you tries to tell me that I don't have a point, go stick a cactus up your ass and call it a sale.  |

| | wal-mart is part of the super rich's plan to destroy the middle class and make this country one of slaves and masters. Its kinda funny how these evil fucks are purposly trying to kill small buisness so that pretty soon they will have complete controll over you and the world you live in, witch they pretty much do anyways. But there is still a cross section of america that hasnt been mindwiped by T.V. and the media. |

Hell maybe you're right, and I should be supporting everyone to shop Wal-Mart so then like you said, the working-poor will feel it first.
And while you non-believers in global warming are at it...Go buy a hummer, burn as much gas as you can. Feel the wrath of mother earth, bitch.
