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.
Name and shame.
Wateraburger.
For reference, the highest state* minimum wage in the US is Washington State at $17.13 (in Seattle it’s $21.30).
*not counting Washington DC
Wage laws across the US are all over the place. Meanwhile the federal minimum wage has been stuck at $7.25 since 2009.
The condition of the laboring man at Walton’sThey’re greedy, not stupid.
Greedy and stupid because no one applying even when they need the help and have been hiring. No one will apply at a job paying 11 when all the jobs around them are starting at 13 and higher.
Unless the existing staff break down and can’t do enough work to keep the place running, management don’t care.

If Walmart is paying more, than it’s time to go work for Walmart. As the other comment said, they’re greedy, and the only way to get around this is to show them that they won’t take it. They lowered the wage because they know the employees won’t do anything about it.
He plans on doing it but only after working as a Team manager for awhile. Will look good on his resume. Also he worked hard for the title. Had to take a test that apparently can use anywhere.
That sounds very sensible actually, and hopefully would mean earning more than he otherwise would when he moves.
He should unionize the staff before he leaves.
why is he wirking gis arse off? ge is not being paid enough to do that. as team lead he should be encouraging the same.
Given the high inflation, his pay has actually been reduced $2.50, not $2.
Yeah one of the most trumped up thing of our time is rising costs and lowering wages. I simply will not work to lose money. Its not a tough equation. It has to pay for food, houseing, utilities, transit, etc. If you can’t so much as get a beer because your already in the red. whats the point.
You’re a better parent than the ones I have who would laugh at my learning experience as they tell me “welcome to the real world”
