to all you women who continually shop at wal-mart?

Question

Do you know what kind of company you spend you money at.
New policy at wal mart they will no longer accept the weather as an exscuse for being late case in point a family friend in illinois was held up to to a fatal accident on an icey road. When she got to work she was writen up for being late. acording to Wal Mart there is no reason to be late or leave early. The store manager left early today because of the weather. ( fair, i think not).
People with kids withe severe illnesses that require frequent absenses from work are now urged to miss appointments or have other people take there kidds. ( this even applies to people with terminaly ill kids.
Wal mart was resently sued for having a brand called " made in the U.S.A" there plan was to mislead shoppers who wanted to buy american made items into buying items made in china.
when our war with china comes ( which it will) what will you tell your children when they ask why you bought items made in a country that wants us gone?

Answer 1

Why are you singling out women who shop at Wal-Mart? Are you laboring under the illusion that men don't shop there? It's time to look at yourself in the mirror - you clearly have some pre-conceived notion about those who shop at this place, and it's time to lose the self-righteousness.

Answer 2

All companies have some sort of an attendance policy. I work in the corporate office of a Fortune 500 company and we, too, get written up for more than 5 tardies or unplanned absences.

Your employer expects you to be at work when you are scheduled. If you have personal or family issues constantly getting in the way, you are an unreliable employee in the eyes of the company. You are given a reasonable number of excused tardies or absences. If you exceed it, no matter what the reason, your employer has good charge to fire you.

No employer should be forced to keep an employee who is constantly late or calls in.

Answer 3

Didn't know all this was going on. I would tell my children the truth. I have noticed where I am from a lot of people wanting to leave Wal mart and look for another job but never asked what was going on because they were on the job and could not go into details.

Answer 4

"To all you women who continually shop at wal-mart?" is not a question, it is a statement. Your question should have been; Do you know what kind of company you spend your money with when you shop at wal-mart?

Oh yea, if you don't like the job, leave. Get an education and maybe you can qualify for a better job!

Answer 5

I know its not fair. I work for them and now we have to call an 800 number to report absences. If we have 4 in a 6 month period we get a verbal warning, 5 written up, and 6 we get fired. We are not allowed to call in or be absent for a year if we don't get fired. Our manager does understand when things happen though, like accidents or terminally ill children. I just think its bull.

Answer 6

Unions have been boycotting wal-mart for a while now. Why not employees and the American consumers as well.

Answer 7

Wow, there's alot there, but sometimes companies that want to get rid of a certain employee look for absolutely ANYTHING to fire them. The reason could be poor work performance, it could be that she does this 4 days per week, or something else.

Answer 8

walmart is a large conglamourant of a company....who do NOT treat their employees with any fairness.....i have a great friend who works there....and they do not stick up for them..she was being s.harrassed by a male co worker.....but walmart just worried about her doing her job......i rarely shop there.
others should do the same to send them a message.
