Response: Walmart Should Decide What Kind of Company it Wants To Be

After reading this post, and relating it to my personal experiences with retail, legal actions and growing companies that are re-working how they appeal to the public, it is apparent that more than just the specific companies need to change.

How people work and look at business needs to change. I remember being slightly less than forced to work later than my shift, come in on days off and work a little off the clock just so my store met daily requirements. The sad thing is, no one sees that as a negative work habit. Managers see it as over-achieving, doing what needs to get done. Managers above them brush violations aside until someone sues them, and then it's kept hush-hush.

SO Walmart needs to evaluate its company standards. But then so should most retail companies like it. Just because one company is in the spot light for negative practices doesn't mean there aren't other ones hiding in the dark.
