Walmart cuts starting hourly pay for some workers
The retailer says the change will create consistency in starting hourly pay across individual stores.
“Consistent starting pay results in consistent staffing and better customer service while also creating new opportunities for associates to gain new skills from experience across the store and lay the groundwork for their career regardless of where they start,”
Ok miss PR person. Please explain your rationale cause that shit makes no sense.
I worked somewhere that was killing off their QA department and in a company wide meeting explained it by saying “when you go to a store a pick up a part, you expect it to have gone through QA” Lots of head scratching that day. They still don’t QA their products. They just ship them and let the customers complain if something is wrong.
I work in software dev. My old job laid off our entire QA team at once and presented it as an opportunity to learn doing testing as a developer.
Reminds me when we had three companies merging at the same time and the bosses brought everyone in to tell the grunts and sales people that no one will be losing jobs. I ask, "You know when you move in with someone and you have to get rid of a set of dishes. Do you think you need three sets of dishes?" Yeah, so there were tons of lay offs.
probably went something like this: someone at a low paying store complained about the store 4 miles down the road paying more. so they're addressing that 'issue'.
