I know people who work for Walmart, and the way they handle schedule management is disgusting. Whatever schedule would work the best for an employee, management does the opposite. If there were a good reason for it, that’s one thing, but they seem to be doing a mind f—k on their employees just for the sadistic fun of it.
A smart phone isn’t going to help the employees, but will help management track people. Just GPS microchip them; it would be easier and cheaper.

absolutely ... i’ve talked to a number of walmart employees, and almost all are part time, AND are essentially on call at all times and at the drop of the hat to be “scheduled” to come to work RIGHT NOW ... essentially, walmart employees have no life outside of waiting around to see when walmart wants them to come to work ... my guess is the “free” samsung “smartphone” will be primarily a glorified work pager ...
