There were rumors that they were going to move the store. He stood in front of everyone and said how valuable we were and our jobs were safe- the WALMART WAY!!

Three days later I came to work with cigars for my friends as I had just found out we were having our first kid. I got called into the office thinking I am going to get congratulated- but I was fired. 90 days from being a 7 year fully vested employee- they fired me. Perfect attendance and just worked mega over time the week before for inventory. They fired everyone in the store, moved the club accross the parking lot and hired all new people at minimum wage. They saved 200,000 in vesting money at least and gave 7-30 year employees no notice at all. You came to work and you cleaned your locker out. Since I was soo "valuable" as Glass had stated- they offered me a minimum wage cart pushing job at the Super Center. Of course I was still Fired and lost many thousands in vesting.

The manager had a full cup of hot coffee sitting in front of him- I said I don't think I am strong enough to push carts-lets see-and lifted the desk up slightly spilling the coffee in his crotch. Then politely said F you and Glass!

Glass is a heartless liar- he cares about nothing but money. Glass kissed Sam Waltons ass while he was alive and quickly reversed everything he built the company on when he died. Good customer service, return policies and taking care of your workers.

Worst owner in baseball and a terrible human being period.

Wow.
