That's just walmart for ya. My son works for Wal-mart. Boy I wish he didn't, but with jobs scarce. He is making too much money to try to go somewhere else at this point.

Back a few months ago, we had ice and snow. You want to know what Wal-marts inclement weather policy is? You don't show up, you get fired.

I didn't believe my son when he told me that. So I started looking online.
Sure enough. I also found message board after message board telling horror stories of how they treat their "Associates". If they just had employees, then they couldnt treat them that way. As associates, they can treat them like crap and get away with it.

Walmart could care less about this. They have been sued many many times. They may be shown to be in the wrong, but no big deal to walmat. They just donate to some cause. Get their name in the paper and everything is back to normal.

Wonder if Sam Walton would roll over in his grave if he saw where his corporation has ended up.
