Economy getting worse and these asshole franchise decides to lower the hiring range.
When my son started less then year ago he was hired at 13 an hour. Now it’s 11. They been short staff and losing workers and my learned this.
Added insult to injury he is getting a promotion to Team Lead which used to pay 17 an hour now it lower to 16. He about fed up working his ass off and a promotion means little when Walmart pays more with a starting wage then where he currently works.
Fucking corporation are fucking stupid.
If Walmart is paying more, than it’s time to go work for Walmart. As the other comment said, they’re greedy, and the only way to get around this is to show them that they won’t take it. They lowered the wage because they know the employees won’t do anything about it.
He plans on doing it but only after working as a Team manager for awhile. Will look good on his resume. Also he worked hard for the title. Had to take a test that apparently can use anywhere.
That sounds very sensible actually, and hopefully would mean earning more than he otherwise would when he moves.
He should unionize the staff before he leaves.
