Why the hell is Walmart spinning $2.7 billion of wages increase (if it's even all wages increase) as a bright idea Walmart had? Walmart costs taxpayers $6.2 billion by underpaying their employees! And Walmart is one of the entities feeling a lot of pressure from Fight For $15!

I have seen this same Walmart commercial about the wages at least four times today.

Oh joyous.

(My sister's career ambition is to get a job with Amazon corporate and move to Seattle environs. This is not implausible; they really like her at that warehouse, and—actually I had better not share her and my brother-in-law's current job problem without their permission, but part of the reason it's taking so long to resolve is they really like her, and that's sure to be part of the solution as well.)

nodnod.

they also really liked my brother and he gets a lot of perks! but he has officially been waiting for them to take over the second half of the two jobs he is working for...over five years? Sooooo I don't think that is ever happening because why pay two salaries! He also feels a lot of corporate loyalty because he had a lot of trouble getting a job out of the Navy and yeah. :(

(Amazon's corporate problems: also not something employees can fix by "working somewhere else")

Oh UGH. I hope he's at least getting time-and-a-half pay—wait, there's probably a rule against that for people who make as much salary as I presume he does. :(

Yeah, he's a salaried employee, soooo...no such thing as overtime. Holiday bonuses though and stock options. Those are nice? But. There is a PRICE.
