"I Used to Be Proud to Be a Wal-Mart Employee..."

[ShuraHaidate]

I live near Hudson, NY.

Hudson has become a MUCH better town since Walmart has come in. No jobs? There are triple the jobs in Hudson than neighboring towns.

[obocaj13420]

that was so stupid. her only real complaint was scheduling, that conflict happens at every job. walmart is america.

[vickygmar]

My pray its with all of you. I will send this video and also I will recommended this movie Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price to better understand.

I WILL NEVER BUY NOTHING FROM WAL-MART

I promess

Pss: if we think that Walmart is not good with us look at china employees at the movie Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price .

The Lord be with all of us. Amen

[sagittariuslove5]

they treat vendors like shit,this is something that i will make sure more people know about! i have friends that deliver there and they tell me how they are treated by managers and receivers.I DONT SHOP AT WALLYWORLD!

[MiyukiZero]

I totally worked at wm and I was fired for buying my own drink-okay I know you aren't supposed ot but my co-worker would dissapear for 3 hours at sa time when it was the weekend,making me Call her back to work then I would miss my breaks.,I was finally fired after 7 months.and I was full time.They lost a good worker

[pinkypimpalicous]

AND to add more, when we were all getting shitty hours (full time no more than 32 hours and cashiers 12 hours) they told us, if we tried to work overtime or if we filed for partial unemployment, we would be fired on the spot. And believe they demanded us to get ALL the work done within the few hours a day we were scheduled, cram 8 hours of work into a 5 hour schedule, I think not! And they would have 1-2 people in each department, the rest had to run register because they dont hire cashiers!

[SmokeBojangles]

The Main Thing I Have against Hell-Mart is they way they treat Their Employees.Employees are told You Get Insurance...If you are Full Time.Now that Hell-Mart is Firing all the full time help,the service sucks ass.I Wont Shop there.

[T0xicwaste]

I currently work at HELL mart (wal mart) and it is by far the most ill structured business I've ever seen. You can tell it's ran by Selfish people.. they are the biggest company out there these days and they cut back hours and say we can't get paid for any overtime we work for..C'mon. So this makes the employees depressed and it's just not a good environment not to mention there is LITTLE customer service... they work us to death and care so little about the customers it's unreal.

[SuperKarend]

Outside of my work circle, I tell no one where I work. Sometimes, I lie. I am ashamed of having to admit to the fact that I work for Walmart. Dont let their commercials fool you, they dont care about family, PROFIT is what rocks their world. If family meant so much to them, one would think that they would start to be a little more generous with their own staff, and take better care of their employees.

[GeneralMayhem333]

You think Walmart creates jobs? no, they downsize. They move into an area with their trillion dollar financial bulldozer and wreck all the buisnesses that would otherwise be keeping more people in the community employed. Comapnies like these are taking over the countries food distribution infrastructure, you may as well pay your taxes directly to the corporations and the arms manufacturers, and cut out the middlemen (the government). It's about time these companies were handed over to the public

[MattBInYYC]

I hated working for Walmart in Canada.

After I handed my two weeks in I noticed what the heck it was about. We once had a customer who started bleeding, they didn't notice blood on the floor and I had to clean it myself.

Then someone had thrown up on a cart near the back and I asked a manager if someone should clean it and she said "Don't worry about it".

[walmartramen]

Unions push for better pay. This brings up wages for others also. There is a lot of greed, hidden money. Relatives of Sam Walton, who founded Wal-Mart, control a regional bank called Arvest Bank. Yet the walmart workers see nothing from the sales, it all goes up the ladder. watch?v=L9zqDZkv9eA

[jfromulus]

cut back everybody's wage to minimum wage level see how they like it

[bofts]

Get a damn education or some technical training and get a real job

[papermoon1989]

@bofts I work there and I am getting an education. I have three jobs to pay for living expenses and school. Working for walmart sucks and it can be scarey at night. so suck it.

[jmun6938]

its just like jail, if you stop committing crime,there no need for jail... if you just shop somewhere else Walmart will feel the PAIN. you beat people with money with money that simple!!!!!!!!!!!

[nessie96]

The taxpayers are subsidizing a multi-billion dollar corporation and that in and of itself is scandalous. You pay higher taxes because Wal-Mart encourages its employees to go on Medicaid and food stamps so they don't have to provide health care or a living wage. Meanwhile, the fat cats of the company are raking in billions of dollars all the while ripping off the general public by causing them to pay higher taxes.

[KRAZiiKiLL]

did they terminate her after this? cause i know they seen this..........i hope not...shes a nice lady and she is being honest

[DarrelfromZeeland]

@KRAZiiKiLL If I was Walmart, I would've fired that ungrateful bitch. I hope they canned her immediately. She should've been thankful to have a job instead of whining about how they treated her.

[oaklaclaauscfan3]

Sorry, but Walmart is not to blame if YOU are not available to work. If there's two people who want to work and one is available, yeah they'll get the hours not you because that's the fair thing to do not have the other person work around your schedule whether you have a family or not. Odds are they have something they need to work for as well. I wish more stores were that fair but no, most stores would probably see an old lady with a family and give her the hours over some hard working kid.

[tekren6]

The lady from down at the corner store buys milk from Wal-mart. And then sells it for a dollar more at her store. She's a rip-off. And I hope she goes out of business.

[MsAubretia]

I am not whining, I am simply telling the truth. Walmart does not care about the customer or the employee, they simply care about themselves. When Sam Walton was running the company, the associates and the customers were treated decently.

[DarrelfromZeeland]

@MsAubretia You're just whining because Walmart keeps the Marxist union thugs out. Would you like some cheese with that whine?

[dutchmcgee101]

@DarrelfromZeeland you know dumbnut i've been working at the local wal-mart for 3 years now and all i get paid is $8.80 an hour. yeah i can't even afford to bring my girlfriend from the philippines over here and marry her cause of what i make there.

[VirusofLife182]

Why are these all muted?

[Navdan87]

If workers at walmart don't want a Union, fine. Just stop bitching about working off the clock, mediocre benefits etc.

[3535kevin]

Part of the the scheduling really isnt to base it on need, they want to piss you off so youll quit. I worked in garden and was let go because Walmart has become an AT Will company meaing they can just fire you no coaching no nothing. Dont shop the springfield oregon Walmart!!! And yep on purpose so you cant work anywhere else

[evilsqueezle]

kaashley79 tells the truth unless you kiss ass your not becoming shit in walmart i used to work there 2 lol manager used to yell at the employees he shot the door so hard in the dairy cooler it broke the foor cause he was mad and yet he still works there. thank god i dont work there no more wasnt a ass kissier so i got fired and tired of his shit i yell back lol he made more then one employees cry to he yelled at them so bad i stick up gor myself take shit from noone

[kaashley79]

this woman is telling the truth. if u r looking for a job dont go to walmart there are advancement opportunities if you kiss managements butt if you dont kiss butt you are the dirt on the stores floor. i was fired a year ago because of an outside family fued that was brought inside of the store by someone who was mad at a member of my family. i worked for walmart for over 8 yrs & never will again. run for your life dont work at walmart. they find you replacable at anytime.

[l1nuxun1l]

Walmart hasen't done that to her town. NYs high taxes and high minimum wages that did it.

[wacoinferno]

oh my hell !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just walk the fuck out one day and and dont chicken out just fo it and never look back. but be firm and get you tell them you. hell or better yet give your frirnds things that are high dollar.

[lowaces]

wal mart is the number one choice of the sheeple who refuse to listen to the truth

and they'll never listen to the truth

when my relatives come over from europe they always ask me to take them to see the fat americans so i always take them to wal mart and they're never disappointed ! sad but true huh ?

[Sheri451]

Everything this woman says is TRUE! Wal Mart does not give a DAMN about their people. I used to work for the bastards they fired me because I didn't knw anything about the meat dept and I think they black ball people so they can't find work anywhere else after they fire you. I have been looking for 2 years for a job.

[Anothercoilgun]

Another example of big corps stealing and demoralizing the citizens of this country.

[NextNate03]

Sorry again.

Any Business is evil.

Money is the root of all evil.

If there is no money, then nobody can make money.

On the other hand.

If there is no money.

Then nobody wants to do anything.

In the Star Treck universe. They have no money. They don't work for money.

They work to Better Them Selves.

[Moragauth]

LOL

[NextNate03]

sorry for the Type O's

[NextNate03]

part 2

3:31

Best Buy is the same way. When Best Buy hired me(back in may), I told them I was planing to go college this year. I had every thing ready in August. I had tryied to change my Availbly so I can go to school(Best Buy told people to do it). My request was DENIED. They told me if I don't change it back, then I was going to be let go(I change it back). I had to cancled everything.

[NextNate03]

Part 3 I triyed to get a 2nd job. They said I can' get a 2nd job. Best Buy does not want anybody to go to college. They also do not want anybody to get more then 1 job.(I am part timer)

Full time at Best Buy is 32 hours per week.

If any body gets hired on somewhere as a Full Time worker. Then they have to schugle you 40 or more hours per week. Anything less then 40 hours is a Part Time Worker. (Thats what they teach at the High School I went to)

[NextNate03]

1:45

Thats what they had also told me when I WAS workin at walmart. AND ITS NOT!(At least at the store I had work at)

[xlamadrinax]

donations!!!!!they hide jajaja and never return the calls hello am a phone oppg trow oway those mess. get the facts miracle net. people give the don. not walmart. y ya me aburri am fuera 10-4

[xlamadrinax]

[harleypiper]

I'm proud as hell to say that I've never been in a Walmart......and never will

[Goodykos]

I totally understand. I am currently trying to find another job and I hope to find one.

[FrankeeFraud]

Quit your complaining, you whiney old broad! No job is perfect, and If you don't like Walmart, then quit!

[harleypiper]

and your a real walmart asskissing employee right?

The type that would let management know that tom or susan spent 30seconds too long chatting.Or worse yet.

lives with his mom and dad still

and doesnt understand what its like to struggle and cry your self to sleep begging god that another company would come into town and change life for the better of the whole community.

[FrankeeFraud]

"Real Walmart asskissing employee?" Actually, in NYC, we don't have a single Walmart in the five boroughs, and I retired from Wall Street in 2006. But I do know if you don't like ANY job you work at, you quit, period! I hope Walmrt has has already FIRED this whiney bitch, and taken away her "embarrassment" for good. Funny, if this broad spent half as much time doing something productive as she does crying on video, she could probably own that whole town...

[Moragauth]

I don't disagree. But you're trying to reach out to economically illiterate morons whose views are clouded by cutesy appeals to emotions.

[FrankeeFraud]

Yes, but a guy can try, can't he?  ;-).

[kelly6726]

walmart is a evil place to go and after working there i will never shop there again

[kelly6726]

i just quit walmart yesterday walmart sucks to work for

[sakuraknight9274]

Me too! I just quit today. I worked hard and I did my best and the assistant managers still yelled at me and treated me like shit. Now I have freedom!

[pinkypimpalicous]

@kelly6726 good for you. I didnt get the chance, they fired me because they claimed I stole a cell phone I picked up on the ground and returned to customer service. Fucking bastards.

[zantetsuken333]

@pinkypimpalicous i was a cart pusher and i was fired because i was struck by a car and applied for workers comp

[pinkypimpalicous]

@zantetsuken333 I was a cartpusher as well. I found a fucking cell phone laying on the ground, about to be run over by a car, I brought it to customer service and I am called into the office a week later by the bitch manager I contested my unfair raise to, and she tells me the man claims I broke into his vehicle and stole it. This never happened, this man never said this, its all heresay and I was fired for stealing, redmarked and can never work for the company again. FUCK WALMART!

[GaryFreeman1987]

@pinkypimpalicous That sounds like the sort of shit Wal-mart would do for someone. You're better off without that hellhole. I worked there for 3 and a half years and all they ever gave me was misery, an ulcer, and a bad back.

I'm with you. FUCK WAL-MART!!!

[pinkypimpalicous]

@GaryFreeman1987 its typical, really...and I dont understand how you can successfully stay there, unless you kiss major butt and be what they want you to be, their slave and their snitch, rat out your fellow coworkers (they tried to get me to do that many times) I did way more than what was expected of me, worked my department alone many times, even worked 3 departments at once and they deny me my fair raise and fire me after I fight and get it. Thats walmart.

[SmokeBojangles]

@pinkypimpalicous Grasp Any straw to fire you so you do not get that Crappy little raise.

[pinkypimpalicous]

@SmokeBojangles exactly what they did. And to add more fuel to the fire, our co-manager of the store was stealing our myshare bonuses, cutting our hours and lying to corporate and saying we were all getting 40 hours and pocketing the money. But individually, the manager that fired me was trying to get me to be her bitch and turn in my friends, she wanted a narc, but I have a loyalty code to my friends and she didnt like that and was out to get me officially since then.

[tracy10UT]

Your video is very good; however, if you are embarrassed to work there it won't take them long to find this video and take care of your embarassment once and for all.

The thing I think people will most appreciate about your video is that more and more people are ending up like you, trying to work at more than one part-time job, & they end up being penalized for doing so. This isn't something limited to only Walmart. So many companies make it difficult for two-job people to work at both jobs.

[Tafygurl]

Been there ,done that &sure in hell wont do it again. Sam Walton is rolling over in his grave how his company that he founded treats their employees!!

[merickel123]

So what are you going to do about wal mart, their never going to go under, get used to them and by the way their health plan is very good this video is a bunch of crock.

[simba3003]

quit your bitching. You dont like wal-mart, quit fucing shopping there. they only grow because everyone shops there. So quit fucking crying and try starving in Africa, then you can complain

[GroggyProductions]

what the hell does this have to do with Harry Potter?

[Chosentoreign]

wrong video...

[jinn13]

We need to all start pulling together and stop shopping a this fucking place.

[collieterrier]

Thank You jinn! I have been saying this for a long time. I wish America would quit shopping at Walmart. Let the S.O.B. s go under,they deserve it. If people really knew,how corrupt and evil this company is.They would quit shopping there. Walmart would stab their own mother in the back to get ahead.

[RaineeLuv]

WalMart glasses suck. I've had two pairs from there and the lenses would always pop out and they wouldn't give me the right prescription. They were flimsy and broke easily. Plus they made me have headaches.

[thejewmatt]

Walmart Pays Taxes !

those Taxes should be about the same as the town and then some which gives the Town advisors more money to be put into schools and fixing pot holes; they see it as you put #$ in and get more out. The workers only fail because they do other things to get in the way of the $ not being enough like cutting cupons or getting thing on sale...little jimmy doesn't really need that $400 bike for christmas and Jane doesn't need to have a text message plan on her cell phone...exct.

[Mark89015]

UNION PROPOGANDA!!!

[asishkurian]

i f your really dedicated ...........at working in walmart>.....>you dont have to worry about your 60 cent raise.........you will get 55000 $ as an assistant mgr........and around 20000$ bonus.......if your a store mgr or co mgr........you will get more 120000$........about 50000 in bonus.........if hate walmart i dont care about it....union really sucks because they dont care about hard work.......they just care about seniority...........

[elcubanito527]

i worked at walmart part time when i first stared going to college, i have to say it is THE WORST JOB i have ever had, and the employs i worked with were assholes, i would not recommend anyone to work there .

[Pookatube]

UNIONIZE WALMART!!!

[07heleri]

Walmart Facts: Full time must be scheduled 35 hours a week.

I have worked at walmart four three years: 11.10 /hours

Here there are more than 1000 jobs in town currently (yes) and we are not having any problems.

Most of our associates are full time

Hours are never cut back

I pay 14.30 2 weeks and ours vision center take our insurance.

Walmart paid for road inprovements, roads, water, drainage, all of it!

The woman is stupid and does no have any idea what she is talking about

[Pookatube]

When was the last time you got a raise?

UCFW stores have better working conditions, health plans, wages!

UNIONIZE WALMART!!!

[07heleri]

I got a raise about 2 months ago and again just yesterday....after 3 years i am making 11.20 an hour.

[pusherman9mm]

07hereri,

you got two raises within the last three months? What exactly do you do for them? Most workers are now currently only getting yearly 60 cent max raises.

[07heleri]

You do your job and do it well just like everyone else that works here...I have a store manager also that cares. When she took over she asked managment about what they thought about caring about employees. If they said you can't if you are managment then they were transfered to a different store. Managment here listens and cares for all of us it has felt like family from day one. Also Walmart has the alot of job competition around here so they have to competitive about the pay they give.

[collieterrier]

What a bunch of bullshit!

[collieterrier]

Heleri I think when you get to work,you better go outside and look at the sign on the building,because i do not think you are at WALMART. Are you on crack?

[circlestream]

he goes on the internet and trys to convince walmart isint that bad! lol

[pusherman9mm]

Wal-Mart is such a irresponsible company, especially regarding how it treats its employees. That store needs to unionize now.

[LUkewet]

i agree if people would just buy from town stores the town economy would grow and be better for everyone with the stores that used to be open are now run out of buissiness

[Whitedovie]

I boycotted walmart when I found out that Hilary Clinton had been their CEO, brainstorming how to make millions off us poor folk...

These young kids today don't understand the meaning of a dollar...how people worked hard years ago to grow an independent business. If we stand together and only buy from our neighborhood businesses, soon walmart's doors will close. Besides that they buy all their stuff from China, Persia and other countries. My gr daughter developed rashes from clothes there.

[Carnage251]

She wasn't the CEO, you should get your facts right idiot.

[Whitedovie]

I posted when I was tired, sorry, she was on the Board of Directors

[lilmic1987]

the bonus this quarter was $207,.., the store manager got a $108,000 bonus, and they say that was a small one,.,

[caddie099]

I'm not an employee at walmart nor have I ever been one. In my social problems class we watched a video on Walmart and how small business diminished because of this corporation. It spoke of the low wages, the health care and also, how walmart urge their employees to go on government aid, such as medicare and medicaid. It devalues businesses around them and takes away from the community. I no longer shop at walmart because of this video. Walmart can afford to pay their employees more.

[lilmic1987]

heck yah they could,., the manager told me i would get a bonus,., well when i didnt,., they told me "when they can give you a bonus they will",., ??? i didnt konw what to say, i just stared with a blank stare

[kishgrad07]

trust me i know how you feel, i work for wal-mart now and im only workign 32 hours a week! and right now the economy is bad, its hard to fin antoehr job, so its like im stuck! anotehr thing that not right, the promotions! they are unfair!

[happypill363]

Walmart now returns empty DVD cases in Canada! I am a walmart employee at store 1050 in Airdrie alberta and a Customer returned a DVD that had been opened and was empty claiming that it was empty when they got it. This was aproved by a manager. for verification the stores number is 1-403-945-1295. this event occoured at approxamatly 6 PM. if they let it happen once, to deny anyone else this is discrimination! go and reap the benifits of my heartless disclosure and enjoy n_n

[Cheiracanthium]

Why pay more somewhere else?

[lydochka0x]

I WORK WITH DRNEVALUVAHO and it's true. he does hit on females. ALL THE DAMN TIME. lmao. EVEN THOUGH HE KNOWS HE WANTS TO HIT ON ME. anywho, well, let's see. i agree with everything that's been said about WALFART. i go to school and work there part time and they told me to choose between school or working. wtf is that shittttttt. management at our store is a fuckin joke. ive seen them fuckin making the schedules. it's not a computer. that's just a lame excuse.they dont care about you. never will

[kwondoaxprincess2]

they told you to choose between school and work??? thats messed up!

[mavericksfan1985]

They also will tell you that you have to work a certain # of hours per week.  If you request to work slightly less than what they want you to work, they will cut your hours back so bad to where you are almost not working at all.

[DrNevaluvaho]

thats exactly what told us in the meeting, everyone was like wtf!!

[mavericksfan1985]

I hear you. That is what they told me and I went from 32 hrs./week (what they told me I had to work) to 10 hrs./week because I requested to work 24-28 hrs./week and they didn't like that.

[DrNevaluvaho]

yo i work there, and everything she says is fuckin true, the managers are fuckin horrible, at a store near us, a dude pulled out his box cutter and fucked up an assistant manager....everyone who shops there looks down on you, but you cant go anywhere now! cuz everyones out of a job! im stuck...its bullshit....so now i just hit on females

[tributevocalist]

I hear ya there, and I'm telling you one of these days, someone's gonna walk into one of the Walmarts and shoot the place up because of how inhumanely we're treated. At the store I work at, it's managers, co-employees, and customers who all treat us like shit. We have no power for ourselves because we're constantly being monitored and there are snitches everywhere in the store! Once I know that I'm leaving, the first person that says anything to me, I'm gonna tell them off

[collieterrier]

Tributevocalist  You must have worked at the Clovis,California Walmart. You hit the nail right on the head. This store is even firing people that are on disibility.

[mavericksfan1985]

I used to work there and what bothers me about the managers is that they all never work as ONE management team. Each manager has their own personal agenda and they would screw anyone they don't like. I remember I used to have to do at least 6 things all at once and when I was not doing something, I got in trouble.

[DistracticusPrime]

What alarms me most is I'm seeing Wal-Mart mentality in other corporations and industries. Of course, a business must be profitable to survive. But the business strategies I'm seeing these days are short-sighted and greedy, in spite of customer backlash.

As the truth gets out (thanks to videos like this, and brave employees like Aubretia), Wal-Mart will either adapt or wither and die. When that happens, it should be a wake-up call for corporate accountability all over the world.

Thank you!

[shriv74]

"Instead of listening with your pocket, listen with your heart"

Oh, if only.

Amazing video. I hope she doesn't get in trouble for this!

I personally have vowed to never shop at Wal-Mart.

[photogeanick]

me too!

And i've been spreading the word like mad for YEARS now!

THEY SUCK LIKE AN AIRPLANE TOILET!

[kwondoaxprincess2]

they are also a major contributer to tearing down the rainforest, and factories overseas which is why their products are so cheap.

[dogstar7]

WalMart:

Always Low Wages

Always Lower Quality

Always Lower Tax Base

(Local Exemptions, Small Business Closures)

Always Lower Quality of Life

Always...

[mavericksfan1985]

Always treats employees like trash

Always cuts hours

Always shuts down small business

Always...

been there for 7 months, worst 7 months of my life.

[kwondoaxprincess2]

Always cutting down trees

Always polluting with factories

Always hiring young children in Asia or somewhere....

[07heleri]

We have the super sandwich ball which includes all tin, cardboard, paper, plastic that the store uses and recycles it all!!!!!!

[07heleri]

Last year we gave over 1 million dollars in donations to organizations, schools, churches, and other failing businesses in town to help with the crisis.

[TalonToday]

wow. i really want to thank you for getting the truth out there about wal-mart. people think its so good to shop there because its cheap but they dont realize the chain of people that hurts. by buying things at wal mart it eventually effects you because someones getting less money so they dont buy simething then that person is making less money so they dont buy something and it goes on untill it comes back to you for buying something at wal mart instead of going to a regular store.

[dogstar7]

"The scheduling is done by computer..."

This is the excuse she has been given for erratic scheduling. Of course, there is no automaton that spits out a computer generated schedule. Even if there were, it wouldn't be sacrosanct.

"Look, Agnes, the Great and Powerful Computer has spoken. We can't change it once It Is Written."

Just another way WM managers keep drones in thrall.

[dogstar7]

It's also how they can leverage a worker with a second job by using scheduling conflicts to threaten their employment.

"Look Bill, we need more people on second shift this season. You need to think of your priorities."

As soon as you compromise, they change the schedule again. They know exactly what they're doing.

I ran a WM department, I know. It's deliberate.

[07heleri]

Schedule is done by computer first then managment has to approve.

[dogstar7]

Wrong:

Where I worked, weekly schedules were submitted by the department heads and logged into the human resources database. The database only disallows schedule conflicts and overages of hours allotted to full and part-time status. Any overtime or special scheduling must be approved.

My point is that real people, the bosses known to the staff, make the schedule. They control scheduling, not some Automaton program in "The Great Computer at WM HQ".

[NegritaTanRica]

she should be careful...she could get fired just for doing this video.

[markcruiser64]

change your associate availability sheet so you will get 40 hours. Also gives you consistent days off each week.

you CAN get your eyeglasses filled at walmart where I work.

sadly I am seeing Walmart is totally about greed now. just profits for their rich execs now.
