        All the bad press about Walmart... Why not do an article on how much they give back to the community. Challenge you to find another company that even comes close to Walmart in charitable giving!

        This is sad to see, every time it is covered on the news or in the paper. Workers deserve a living wage before charity is offered to the community. If a company is traded on Wall Street, the workers shouldn't need to ask for gov't aid for food, shelter & healthcare. You know this

        That sentiment is exactly how the pay gap between a companies top brass and the people that make them all that money has gotten so out of hand...

        Exactly and if a worker is fed up with the low pay it doesn’t matter because someone else will take their place and the cycle of low pay continues. It’s only when everyone on stands up that it will change. A typical worker works harder than a ceo and should make more money

        It’s not about being lazy and going to school does not always get people a better job or are you not aware of that. The whole point is people shouldn’t have to be CEO’s to earn that kind of money. The Walmart workers work 10 times harder than the ceo it’s not being lazy!

        These types of jobs are not there for those that want to make a life long career out of. If you fall on hard times you are going to work there until something better comes along. College and high school students work there to help pay there way while they are in school.

        That’s pretty lousy pay, but how much is the COEs value? No disrespect but what does the average employee bring to the company vs the CEO. In terms of revenue and stock value. If a company grows and makes billions the CEO is worth a tremendous amount.

        Without the employees the company wouldn't function and bring in those billions you're speaking of.

        That’s very true, but again, without that valuable CEO there would likely be less stores and less employees. I do believe a company that makes billions should pay much more to their employees but always comparing low level employees to an executive isn’t productive.

        Oh no, I definitely wasn't comparing an executive to a bottom or even mid level employee at all. For one, hard work and how it is measured is somewhat difficult especially with the types of tasks they are doing and how little we know about what an exec actually does

        Remember, the CEO and board of directors also make choices to close stores. Also, it's hard to say that they're the ones keeping stores open. Marketing and store performance plays a hugely significant role. And on it goes.

        Hate to break it to you, but CEOs are quite involved in marketing strategies, sales and finance, too. They are ultimately responsible for all aspects of the business

        I'm not saying they aren't involved. I'm just saying they're not the sole reason for stores remaining open. There are hundreds of factors.

        Yes but in terms of day to day running of the business, CEO has huge impact. It's an intense, high pressure role. Not comparable to a store clerk
