Economy getting worse and these asshole franchise decides to lower the hiring range.

When my son started less then year ago he was hired at 13 an hour. Now it’s 11. They been short staff and losing workers and my learned this.

Added insult to injury he is getting a promotion to Team Lead which used to pay 17 an hour now it lower to 16. He about fed up working his ass off and a promotion means little when Walmart pays more with a starting wage then where he currently works.

Fucking corporation are fucking stupid.

    Not just meth heads. If you live in a really populated area, Walmart is actually super picky.

    Their HR departments are basically brainless. The computer makes all the choices

    when you apply to Walmart you drop into a 3 colored queue, red yellow/orange green

    • green: worked their before no issue
    • yellow/orange: no job experience or left in bad terms not violently or a way that harmed the company
    • red: you stole something or you had massive red flags when they searched you

    They’re heavily pushed towards hiring greens, and if forced to, they’ll hire yellows, and they’re not allowed to hire reds outside of excruciating circumstances.

    I had a friend who had no criminal record whatsoever, but due to someone being disabled and needing care in their household, they had never really held a job into their late 20’s, The Walmart that was closest to her house wouldn’t touch her with a ten-foot pole after repeated attempts, but that was in a massively populated area. However, the one that was in her old town, which was significantly lower population, called first try (but sadly that was an accidental application didn’t notice the town defaulted back)
