ToxicSlurpee posted:Walmart actively avoids paying anybody at all. I worked for them a few years ago and when the recession hit they did their best to cut hours to the bone and get rid of anybody making more than ten an hour. Benefits also instantaneously became prohibitively expensive. Now they absolutely will not start new people full time. This is entirely geared toward making the Walton kids rich. They won't raise wages like that unless they're forced to. I've heard that Wal-Mart started bumping wages up again a year or two - as it turned out, cutting labor to the bone resulted in a seriously degraded experience at stores, which was hurting their sales. We're talking "shelves bare because the store is running on a skeleton crew and the one person stocking the shelves is doing three other things and also dragging their feet because they're tired from their second job" type poo poo.

HootTheOwl posted:Can't wait to read how my generation is double plus isolated because we automated every need to leave our homes when we get old. Isolation is pretty much inevitable for most old people at some point, because old age and the associated health problems can do a real number on your mobility. If buying poo poo online replaces having to dispatch relatives or paid caretakers to do all their shopping, that's probably a net positive for them.
