Walmart Employees Getting a Raise

[OnePercenter]

Yep, and that's when you pop zits and drive to work in your beater car from your apartment you share with two other people. As people mature they do better financially, unless they are fuckups, and start the house/family/dog/ thing. Like always. Except now for some reason stock boys are suppose to afford all that.

Why shouldn't retail workers make a living wage?

You're the one who has to prove your own claims.

I have many times. Walmart stores, Inc. net is $16.1B. With companies that have multi-tiered profit, divide the number of tiers by the profit of the main corporation and add it for the total.

It's up to them what they make

Their skill set is only worth so much to the market.

If they want to make more then it's up to them to acquire the skills that will warrant higher wages

No one said they shouldn't. They choose who they work for.

Okay, so you don't have the slightest clue what you're talking about, and you can't provide evidence to support what you're saying. Let's move on....

Why should anyone make any particular wage?

you assume that all tiers make an percentage of the profit the main corp makes

If Walmart had 500 ti

Sorry but to prove your claim with any validity you would have to have an accounting of the profits of every holding separately and then get a total

He wants people to be paid 30K a year just for breathing

It isn't 'up to' employees how their wages are set, it's what the employer can get away with paying, which is why the GOP wants to keep the working class subservient in wages.

FYI; Acquiring a skill set doesn't guarantee that you'll have an increased wage.

It's the market that sets the wage.

Stuffing shit in a bag is not a skill that is particularly valuable. If that's all you aspire to it's not your employer's fault

If you want a higher wage than a bag boy then acquire the skills that warrant a higher wage

Show me on Walmart SEC filings expenses/profit for procurement, logistics, and transportation. All are privately owned LLC's, owned by the Walmart seven.

Why shouldn't an employer pay an employee that makes them all of their profit a great wage?

The tiers make a profit BEFORE stores. Procurement sells to logistics for a profit, logistics sells to transportation for a profit, transportation sells to stores for a profit, stores sell to you for a profit.

I want workers to make 48k/yr for working.

She should. Greeters are part of inventory control.

That is a red herring. I asked you a question. Either provide an answer, or concede that you cannot provide one.

Good news, you are free to start your own retail company, and pay your own janitors $48k a year.

Just as long as he's not the one who has to pay.

Is it your opinion that every WalMart employee who made less than $9 per hour yesterday somehow "made themselves" worth more?.

dear, by chance they are worth more as the economy improves since there is more and more competition for workers. This drives wages up but of course not to the levels they would command with more skills.

Do you understand?

I understand that you are an idiot.

Republicans keep saying that there are millions of "decent and hardworking Americans" who have no education. It actually seems as is they are saying Americans with an education are both indecent and lazy.

Yanno ... given the angry, bitter, stupid response of goofy loony lefties like rdean and guno I am considering requesting of Walmart mgmt that they reconsider their very generous decision. Geeez.

Angry and bitter response? WTF are you talking about. Is that more of that scrum you got from those voices only you can hear?

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

Why not $100k/yr?? Who would not say life is not better with $100k than 49k??
Also, truth be told, I want to make $1 million a year and I don't think it should matter if no one wants to pay me that much! I'm hoping for liberal Nazi govt that will force people to pay me that much at the point of a gun.

Why should anyone make any particular wage?

None of my employees ever earned me all of my profit but the more productive ones did get paid better than the less productive ones. Does that pass your test?
