with a taste of poison paradise, I'm addicted to you
I hadn't heard much lately about the evilness that is Wal-mart, but with this article, my opinion of that company remains intact. Capitalism, eh. This is getting out of hand. Some snippets:
"...the scheduling changes, which have been rolled out in Wal-Mart stores around the country in recent weeks, are a sign that the retailer is acting on ideas outlined in an internal document that was leaked last year. In the memo, a Wal-Mart executive said it would find ways to rid its payroll of full-time and unhealthy employees who are more expensive for the company to retain.When super-immense profits become so important that we're treating people worse than animals, I take issue with it. This is intolerable. | ¶ 9:17 p.m.
Wal-Mart executives have recently told Wall Street analysts that the company wants to transform its workforce from 20 percent part-time to 40 percent. Recently, it was also reported that older employees in some stores who had back and leg problems were barred from using stools on which they had sat for years."
