Is it Walmart corporate policy to punish employees for documenting child abuse?
The young girl fired started a GoFundMe.
Given she was right I wonder if she has any legal recourse against Walmart.
I am sure Walmart has some sort of policy about employees filming customers to prevent people of Walmart type photos/videos.
The walmart ex-employee made her mistake when she posted the Neglectful Mom incident onto the internet, for everyone to see. What she should have done, was take that video and either send it to her Boss, or at most, send it to the police. Most managers want to know first, if anything from their workplace is going to be sent to the police.
Most managers don’t want their nearby competitor stores knowing they seem to attract such troublesome customers.
It’s unfortunate that the policy is to fire such an employee, vs putting them on probation after counseling, then offering unpaid re-training classes. That’s how more retailers used to operate. Now, there are much fewer second chances.
“she was sacked .... for posting video of the boy online.”
I agree with Walmart.
