"This makes me sick, because apparently Walmart doesn't understand what bad P.R. is. Bad P.R. is screwing over one of your employees, just for money. To sum up the situation, a walmart employee was involved in a terrible car accident that left her mentally handicapped. She and her family were able to sue for $477,000 worth of damages which is meant to take care of her for the rest of her life. So they win the case and it looks like everything is going to be OK. But it turns out that walmarts health care plan's fine print says that if any money is received for damages, walmart has the right to take it. And you can bet your damned ass, they're taking the money. $477,000, they are making a huge deal over $477,000. A company that makes over $90 billion a year. And when they were asked for a comment, they said "while her situation is extremely sad, the only way to be fair to everyone else, is to take the money. And when I look at this situation, the first word I think of is not "Fair", oddly enough, it's "Fucked up". The situation is fucked up, so because of this issue, I'm saying fuck walmart.
I'm not going to go to walmart, super walmart, walmart. com, Sam's, or Lowe's. I'm never going to go into a walmart again, besides to visit my friends who happen to work at walmart, but you can bet your sweet as I won't ever buy from that store again, because walmart is fucked up. That's why I think everyone who reads this, shouldn't go to walmart either. I'm not saying "Don't go to walmart" that's ridiculous. All I'm saying is if you think it's a fucked up situation, don't shop at walmart anymore, because if they are going to go ahead and screw over the little guy, what needs to happen is all the little guys need to get together, and send out this story to all there little guy friends, so more people will hear about it, because this is fucking ridiculous. So to all the people who think that the little guy can still have a voice, I have a project for you, if you have a few extra mins, go to the link below and read the story about the women involved in this case, and everything that's happening to her. I want you to send that to as many people as possible. Send it to everyone in your address book, put it in myspace bulletins, facebook bulletins, I don't care, but get it out."
So this is a little something I seen on my myspace today and it has totally pissed me off!!! SO let me start by saying this, I am not agreeing with this in anyway, just posting it to show what I am bitching about!!!
Now on to the fun part. People are sooo fucking stupid! Why would you believe so strongly in something that you would turn against a former employer and bash them after only hearing one side of a story? Just because it was on CNN doesn't mean that it is 100% factual. This a perfect story for them to receive ratings ratings and more ratings! News people lie too ya know or actually bend the truth enough to get the response that they want.
just the other day at my place of work, Walmart, we were discussing this. At first we were just as pissed about it cause we had only read this one article but it wasn't until someone actually did some research, that we found the other part of the story. Since when does walmart own an insurance company? yea, the last time I checked it was never! The article says walmart's health insurance provider not just walmart. So for all of you that know how to read, this is referring to Blue Cross not walmart directly. Yes walmart has policies to follow, but as we found out it was blue cross that was actually pushing the issue.
Walmart was trying to fight the suit but still hand one hand tied behind our backs. so when this poor lady lost her money, it didn't go to walmart, but instead blue Cross.
i never fucking hear about all the good that your local neighborhood Walmart is doing for your community. Walmart donates millions a year to charities and the community that it serves. Plus we take on a task every year that gets us out into the community and giving back. No the only think that you hear about are the evil things that the Big Bad Walmart does.
I have seen first hand what walmart does to help their associates. From fund raising to associate in need funds. I have never worked for a company that cared so much for its employees. So Before you decided to bash someone or a company, maybe you should get ALL the facts. You are fucking with peoples' jobs and lives. You don't have to shop at my store, my company but make sure it is for the right reasons. Not just hearsay!n
