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.

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.
