WalMart give $157 million bonus to employees

[extragreen]

"I don't know what more people want"

Not have to subsidize a multimillionaires payroll would be a common sense place to start. Secondly, their influence in the economy is to depress wages.

Name the things I've demanded from businesses.......

 

[Walden Pond]

Higher wages, more money, this, that, and the other.

For what? Why do these people want all this money? I don't think they really want it. They just want to bitch about not having it.

Bitching is fun. If it wasn't, we wouldn't be on here doing it all the time. Look at the big million dollar people we watch on TV. News people, football coaches, etc. All bitchin'. We like our bitchin'.

 

[i am herdman]

Name the things I've demanded from businesses.......

Higher wages. Benefits. OrganizEd labor.

A full time employee has comparible.wages to what you offered if not more. Has benefits and a retirement plan.

I have demanded a higher minimum wage. I have not demanded benefits that I can remember, I have not demanded organized labor but I have insisted that the unions be allowed to attempt the unionization of work forces where they choose to do so without government interference.

Are you talking about the Walmart work force? If so, bwahhhaha!

What was your guy making?

 

[extragreen]

What was your guy making?

So you make the statement that a full time Walmart workers wages are comparable to what I paid and then you ask what my wages were. Don't you think you should know that before making the statement, moron? You just lie as a hobby.

Don't want to answer.

Did you say $14 or so an hour? That's in line with walmart

 

[Walden Pond]

I don't know what percentage of Dayton is bums. Probably pretty high, but we're going to have to be OK with bums.

Bums are the wave of the future. As more and more jobs are automated, human labor won't be necessary. Antiquated. Most of the great jobs now aren't even labor. They're just people talking and making pathetic decisions, when a robot could talk better and make sound decisions based on the cold hard parameters. I would love it.

It'll be interesting to see the evil forces of greed and status envy at work when people fight over how we're going to distribute our resources. Maybe it's already happening. College, getting big jobs, etc. is all posturing. All entertainment. All a game, fake competition just to spice this whole thing up as much as we can.

Why would I not want to answer, moron, considering I've told you before? But lets stick to the point. Mr. I'm For the Little Guy is comparing extras 2 employee shop to a company that employs 2.3 million. Mr. I'm For the Little Guy is comparing a company that generated about $350,000 gross income to a company whose net profit was 16 billion. Mr. I'm For the Little Guy is comparing a little cabinet shop who had full time employment of 100% to a company who had a full time employment of a "majority" of their employees (because Walmart won't release that data). Mr. I'm For the Little Guy is comparing a little cabinet shop whose gross income for a year would have to produce that income for 70 years to pay the income of the Walmart CEO for 1 single year. Now all the cons on the board can applaud Mr. I'm For the Little Guy for taking up for all the little guys working at Walmart who have to rely on over 6 billion dollars worth of U S federal taxpayer money to subsidize their ability to eat and have a place to sleep.

So what you are saying is, you don't pay a living wage. No surprise here.

This is where Greed's lack of business intellect and drive to grow his business holds him back. He has chosen to stay small. Gross income of 350k sounds like a hobby, not a legitimate business venture.

 

[Walden Pond]

I always think if the little guy was any good, he'd go join the big dogs. I'm for the big dogs. Wal Mart, Kroger. Big corporations. One big mega place for everything.

Elite college sports, pro sports. The big dogs. If you're gonna go, you might as well go big. This rinky dink stuff is just modern day warm and fuzzy welfare stories. That's why March Madness to me is just dumb as hell, and I enjoy a big dog winning it all in the end.

So again you expect someone else to do something you either would not or could not. WalMart does offer more. I have no problem with what you offer or don't offer as your employees can work there or not. But, don't expect someone else to do more and in WalMart's case they actually do more there.

But, but, but the Waltons have the money to do more. Greed and his Bernie socialism thinking. No one made the people work at WalMart and it is not Greed's say in what they pay. He ties himself in a corner with his stupidity.

 

[Walden Pond]

Remember, this is an auditing session. You can't win. There is no right answer when you're the one holding the cans.

Why do I say this? Because once I got on here and said let's take all the money in America and divide it equally among each person. Still didn't like it. See, there's no satisfaction to be had. No solution. Just endless pointless bitching about nothing.

That's what most things are.

You really are a moron. A company that NETS billions of dollars pays the majority of their people less than a 2 employee cabinet shop in out Wayne.

 

[Dorrej]

One would hope the majority of walmart employees are less skilled and paid less than a woodworker at a custom cabinet shop... Also, according to your numbers, Walmart profits about 7k per employee. I would venture to guess you make more than 7k off the back of each of your employees.

Part time and low skilled workers. That is not hard to understand.

Does anyone believe Greed puts his employees thru sexual discrimination nonsense and has transgender restrooms?

You know the bullshit liberal policies that real companies are forced to do.

^^^^^look^^^^ it's another moron^^^^
You thought you had a point until I remind you that nearly half of Walmart employees are part time.

My main point was that a custom cabinet manufacturer such as yourself should be employing more skilled labor than the average Walmart employee, so it would make sense if you pay them more than the average Walmart employee makes.
Also, you are the one who set the precedent for an apples to apples comparison of your workforces so don't try to change it now "Mr. I'm For the Little Guy is comparing extras 2 employee shop to a company that employs 2.3 million."

Do you feel that your employees are more skilled and demand higher pay on the open market than the average Walmart employee?
Do you make more off the back of your employees than Walmart does?

^^^This just imploded Greeds whole argument.

Greed will either ignore your questions or seek out a semantic argument in order to change the discussion.

 

[extragreen]

And that's exactly what happened. I paid my guys more than the Walmart average guy, and I did it for years.

Also, you are the one who set the precedent for an apples to apples comparison of your workforces so don't try to change it now

That's a flat out lie.

Do you feel that your employees are more skilled and demand higher pay on the open market than the average Walmart employee?

Yep, and that's exactly how it has been, as I said above.

Do you make more off the back of your employees than Walmart does?

I assume you mean per person. If so, I don't have enough walmart data to determine that.

Part time and low skilled workers. That is not hard to understand.

Low skilled is easier to understand, so why is nearly half the walmart workforce part time?

 

[herdfan429]

Why is 100% of yours?

Do you even understand retail business? Because of the hours they are open and the pool of people they get workers from. College students, retirees, second job, house wives, etc. Not everybody in retail wants to work 40 hours a week. They want to work 4 to 9 after school and so on.they want to work 20 hours a week a not 40 for a lot of reasons.

Do you.even understand a lot.of retail.business is seasonal ? Like hiring a bunch of college kids for Christmas.

In retail you need a bunch of part timers to fill shifts and seasons. You.need 20 guys to unload trucks from 5pm to 10pm.

Made-up malarkey, as usual. I didn't ask why SOME people work part time at walmart, I asked why nearly HALF of their employees are part time. Seasonal is not considered as part time, that's temps.

Bullshit and you know it. You have stated many times you have two part time employees

[extragreen]

You made up some malarkey attempting to explain why almost HALF of walmarts workers are part time. There's a reason Walmart has been the lowest-rated department or discount store in the nation every year between 2007 through 2012. Worse, it has been the lowest-rated supermarket every year since 2005.
