All of the Walmart employees work there voluntarily, right?
Am I missing something (other than the obvious — that they are non-union and therefore are abusing workers)?
My brother-in-law’s first job was with Wal-mart. He worked his way up and became a manager and did that for several years during and after college. He is now a very successful corporate VP.
His daughter is following in his footsteps. She’s in college and head of her department (electronics).
My father will soon be working at the door. He’s 82 and capable and just needs something to do. Actually, I’ve thought many times that it’s great that WM gives jobs to all kinds of people and lots of them. Nobody I see working there looks particularly unhappy or forced.
