Failmart was not being honest in the Twitter exchange with him though. When they said their workers averaged more than 25k per yr, that is full time employees with managers and executive pay included in that average, part-time workforce excluded. The workstaff numbers they threw up was based on ~ 400,000 employees, Walmart has 1.3 million employees lmao. The associates in the store do not make that lmao, that average is less than $9/hr or less than $18k/yr. That is not a living wage. Corporations fudging the numbers again to save face.

lol no that is information provided by Walmart company spokesperson Kory Lundberg and from their own reports. Also, Failmart actually has over 2 million employees worldwide, not 1.3 million like I mistakenly said. I do know some people that work in the corporate headquarters in Bentonville. Yes the people in question work at Walmart, a multi-billion dollar corporation subsidized by the US taxpayers. Because they work a cash register or in warehouse, that automatically makes them less of a person? That sounds like a caste system to me and an excuse to not pay a liveable wage by a corporation more than capable of doing so. Now, instead of donating food to their less fortunate employees for Thanksgiving, which they could write off, they ask for donations out of their other employees pockets(who can't write it off)? Fuq DAT! If that line of thinking deserves a tin foil hat, then feel free to make it extra large for me breh.
Don't take my word for it, take it from the workers fighting for their rights.

Compensation is based on individual value, not on organizational capacity.

I think the misconception here is that the more money your company makes, the more you should get paid & that is not the way capitalism works.
some folks on here would love to work in la-la fairytail land & thats not the case here.
want more money, its this simple: EARN IT.
this ole 'gimmie more' outlook is the same muh fucker who would love to milk the welfare system & have some sort of sense of entitlement.
GET UP.
GET OUT.
GET SOMETHIN.

breh, you seem like a fairly smart guy, but are missing the concept & on the wrong side of the tracks.
Not sure what it will take, to make you see, a walmart worker is already over paid.
If that was my company they'd be getting the lowest min wage there was, because of the 'point & do' type of job they have.... There is no brain power. There is close to no manual labor unless you stock or work warehouse
for the guy sweeping up popcorn or the chick ignoring people pretending to not here them.... How you gonna ask for more money?
Lmfao, thats laughable to say the least.

That's right, it is supposed to be based on individual value, unfortunately companies like Failmart do not compensate their employees that way, not every employee is entry level, therefore they should not be offered entry level wages. I've worked in Food, Retail, Insurance, Construction, Healthcare, Govt, IT, and Tech. The industries seriously lacking in compensating their employees fairly are food and retail. Now I don't necessarily disagree with those of you about the value of an education. An education does not make someone a hard worker or a good employee either.
Poverty is the root cause of hunger and food insecurity. Food workers have the lowest wages and highest levels of job insecurity. Food workers are responsible for feeding the country, yet they must participate in food stamps at 1.5 times the rate of others. Ironic?
The top 3 low wage employers in the country? Wal-Mart, Yum! Brands, and McDonalds. US taxpayers get to subsidize all three. Large retailers such as these enjoy special incentives in the form of tax breaks free land and infrastructure assistance, while we taxpayers get to pick up the tab on Medicaid, Food Stamps, and public housing. How many local small business enterprises get the same incentives? None.
Working in the retail and food industries are not dummy do nothing jobs, they are necessary jobs in our economy. Someone who serves hundreds to thousands of customers per day does not have it easy. It wears and tears, and when an employer is taking advantage of you it wears and tears more heavily.

Funny you say that because in construction when there is nothing to do you better have a broom in your hand sweeping, is how it worked on my union jobs, and I did it because that was the expectation, and I got my raises. The chick ignoring or not being professional, her ass gotta go, there is someone else out there hungry for an opportunity for a paycheck. That unprofessional employee is not a valid excuse to prevent hard workers and good employees from their due compensation.
And then like a broken record the cycle continues. Big business continues to exploit the labor force, the taxpayers subsidize big business and their next line of employees, and nothing changes. It is time to break that cycle. It is time to reduce poverty and food hunger in this country. It is time for the labor forces of these sectors to fight the multi-billion dollar corporations like workers in other sectors have done. It is time for small business to be allowed to compete. It is time to end corporate personhood. It is not time to be passive and bow to big business or the members of govt who get kickbacks or heir money from them. If this is our country, as they love to claim, then it is time to make it so and end the corporate takeover.

The individual value of an employee is calculated the same way most other things are calculated - supply and demand. What does it cost to replace that employee?
Using that calculation, most entry level positions are over compensated.
I wouldn't pay for medicaid, food stamps, or public housing anymore than I would pay for subsidies to corporations. This is not necessarily a dichotomy with two mutually exclusive forces such that if you are for corporations you are inherently against workers or vice versa.
So don't work there. If someone put out a job description that paid 1 dollar a week almost no one would take it and the offeror would need to increase their offer. We as a people in general are declaring that we are OK with being paid $7.25 an hour, if we weren't, than almost no one would take those jobs. Who am I to tell everyone who is accepting that amount of compensation that they are in the wrong for doing so?
