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.

Not just meth heads. If you live in a really populated area, Walmart is actually super picky.
Their HR departments are basically brainless. The computer makes all the choices
when you apply to Walmart you drop into a 3 colored queue, red yellow/orange green
- green: worked their before no issue
- yellow/orange: no job experience or left in bad terms not violently or a way that harmed the company
- red: you stole something or you had massive red flags when they searched you
They’re heavily pushed towards hiring greens, and if forced to, they’ll hire yellows, and they’re not allowed to hire reds outside of excruciating circumstances.
I had a friend who had no criminal record whatsoever, but due to someone being disabled and needing care in their household, they had never really held a job into their late 20’s, The Walmart that was closest to her house wouldn’t touch her with a ten-foot pole after repeated attempts, but that was in a massively populated area. However, the one that was in her old town, which was significantly lower population, called first try (but sadly that was an accidental application didn’t notice the town defaulted back)

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.

He should unionize the staff before he leaves.

If you’re going to leave anyway, drop the Union Bomb, and maybe they’ll fire you, and you can sue them for a zillion bucks. Or just leave when you have something better to go to, although don’t expect a good reference.

That sounds very sensible actually, and hopefully would mean earning more than he otherwise would when he moves.

Walmart starts at like 21 an hour for team leads as well, at least around here. So that’s not a bad idea.
