>>>I fail to see what the big deal is.

Ho ‘bout the fact it was done without people’s knowledge? Would you want your employer taking out a policy on you without telling you about it?

My employer has insurance policies on every single employee in the engineering department, most of the high end people in the rest of the company, and everybody that’s manager or above. The only reason I found out about it was when we did a gathering of all of engineering and I asked the person that was arranging the travel of the people in my office why we were spread across so many flights. It’s no big deal, doesn’t bother me in the least.

According to the article WalMart employees were notified and offeredd the opportunity to say no.

I would not care or be concerned unless I worked for an extermination company :)

So what? Unless you are accusing Wal Mart of killing their employees to collect the insurance payouts, why not?

If they aren't knocking me off to collect on the policy, I'm not sure I'd care.

Companies do lots of things without your knowledge. They spy on your emails, they do credit checks and criminal checks.

Welcome to the modern world...

From the article:

Workers were notified and given the opportunity to opt out, the company said.
