When it's been proven over and over again that they don't give a shit about anything but profit, why on earth should I think otherwise?

Maybe you shouldn't. But based on the information at hand, you're still making an assumption, which is what you said you weren't doing.

Or maybe you should ask yourself if Wal-Mart is really as evil as you make it out to be, especially when people on this board who have worked there have disagreed repeatedly with the idea that Wal-Mart is a terrible place for employees.

For every person on here who said they were treated well, I'm sure you can find another who was treated like crap.

If Enron started up again, would you trust their accounting practices? I'm sorry, but a company that has done as many shitty things as Walmart has doesn't get a pass because 2 or 3 people on a message board (for college educated people, mind you) said their experience was hunky dory.

But unlike Enron there's not an indictment of management. All you have are two different sides of anecdotal evidence.

Exactly, which in my experience usually means that the truth is somewhere in between.

Look, I don't care if you hate Wal-Mart with every fiber of your being. Like I said, I hate Wal-Mart, too, although for different reasons. All I'm saying is that it's possible -- possible -- that this is a good business move that just might work out okay for employees.
