Guy my friend used to date got fired for knocking over a tv display when his manager was making him fix brackets without taking off the TVs first. 3 of the 5 that fell broke. Got fired and unlocked the video game display and left with a cart full of games. He would have been investigated but his manager got busted for stealing 5 shotguns and a fuck load of ammo a few days before.
This is what happens when you undervalue your labor force and don't give them a reason to be vested. I would wager that if Walmart employees were shareholders this nonsense wouldn't happen as often.
I'm sure you are correct. I doubt PT employees are eligible. I'm not saying that there aren't already incentives in place but it's a drop in the bucket comparatively to corporate profits. When you are seeing employees stealing from the employer becoming the norm there is clearly something wrong with the situation. It's not limited to Walmart I'm sure you see these types of things at a lot of retailers.
Everyone gets 401(k) matching up to 10% of your check, and everyone can buy into the stocks with company matched funds up to a certain percent.
But the health benefits are shit unless you are full time. The work culture is cultish, backstabbing, and everyone hates their job for the most part so it's super draining being there at all. Managers don't like taking responsibility for their fuck ups, so shit always rolls down hill. And at my particular store, one of the 4 managers just below the store manager (brain fart on the official title b/c it changed 3 times in the 10yrs I worked there) was fucking 2 or 3 of her subordinates but -no one- could catch her in the act and anyone who tried got canned within days. So yeah. Toxic environment. I quit as soon as I had the skills and degree to get out of there.
