Did you know Wal-Mart has an unwritten rule that won't allow salaried workers to have two days off in a row?

Question

Just a quick note, the unwritten rule is inforced for all salaried but the highest up. This means assistant managers, co manager, general manager, district managers and quality assuance. They do this to avoid three day call offs...as in two days off and a third as a call off. They keep their workers tired and stressed out this way, too worn out to look for another job!

Answer 1

Wow, I did not know that.

I'm wondering if we will ever see the 'decline of their empire' within our lifetime....

I have heard their hourly workers have a hard time getting a full 40 hours....something to do with avoiding the need to give full-time benefits (?). At least that is the way it is here in the Central Texas area.

Its all about the money, baby....

We had Piggly Wiggley by using fact the 1st food market after the babies began to close down in our very own little neighborhoods. Then Safeway got here in, and Thriftway grocers. We had Montgom- ery Wards as our greatest branch shop, which grow to be many thoughts severe. each and every floor housed distinctive products on the marketplace in it extremely is branch. something from clothing for the finished kin, to farming kit you should reserve, grow to be attainable. Meier & Frank grow to be additionally between the 1st actual shops and carried a smaller inventory than Wards, yet carried extra costly producers, and grow to be kin owned. there grow to be additionally, Olds and King, branch shop, with severe quaity and severe expenses. And we had Newberrys, Woolworths,and Kress' and Coronet dime shops. Later Lipman Wolfe and Co. opened a small unique branch shop to boot as Bedells', of the comparable high quality. It grow to be so extraordinary to be downtown throughout the trip journeys while all of those smaller shops have been embellished, and bell ringers have been scattered for the duration of. It grow to be consistently so festive feeling. for sure, M&F's had an annual demonstrate window with automation that grow to be beautiful throughout the trip journeys. there grow to be consistently a line around the block with toddlers and their parents waiting their turn to be certain it. each and every branch shop had it extremely is very own Santa additionally.

Answer 3

Yeah, this isn't really groundbreaking or horrifying. A lot of blue collar jobs have horrible schedules with forced overtime.

Wal-Mart is bad when it comes to benefits, salaries, and other non-employee aspects, but this one is pretty across the board.

Answer 4

So what. I worked for a factory for 10 years and they had the same rule, but it was written. Everyone had the same days off--Tuesday and Saturday. The employer sets the work hours and if you don't like the hours your employer sets seek employment elsewhere.

Answer 5

No, I didn't. But if they do, and it is truly "unwritten" then I would imagine that it could be challenged in a court of law.
