The demand for a hike in hourly wages is one that’s been echoing across the country and heeded by a few with disastrous consequences. For example, the situation with Dan Price of Gravity Payment Systems in Seattle. He set his wage floor at 70,000 dollars a year and not only discovered it to be economically impossible, but also lost a lot of faithful employees because there was no gap in between those who worked hard for promotions and those that didn’t. Crazy right? It only makes sense that those who earned higher wages get paid just as much as those who haven’t. Now Walmart is learning this same lesson. By spending an extra $1 billion to raise employees wages and offer them extra training, they’re being forced cut their hours and even lay some of them off.

Hey James!
Hey there Buddy…they earned it…I’m a working man too, the government can keep their handouts..if you want something get out and work for it. Stop complaining.
Higher wages Yippie! Now only two registers will be open instead of the 5 out of the 50 that are normally open. lol
It’s all those bastards. Both sides.
That’s not a “response”. That’s a mathematical sum.
Higher wages had little to do with the closings.Walmarts uses a sales per square foot method of deciding if a store stays or not.Didnt you notice that almost all of the stores were their express stores.
Hello, there is target.
Wrong
Keep quiet
Walmart shouldn’t have to pay workers anything…folks should be happy just to have a place to go during the day….maybe they could give em’ lunch or something but no money….folks need to learn about hard work and sacrifice just like the owners of Walmart have to. There company is almost broke. If people in this group could just do some volunteer hours at Walmart we caohld save this great instatution!!
