Quitting Walmart

This week, Walmart finally drove my girlfriend to quit her job, after having worked there for over three years. She was well liked and has always received good reviews on her job performance. But a new assistant manager apparently felt that she hadn't put up enough stock one night during her shift.

Personally, I think that management was just looking for a reason to get rid of her. She had filed a workman's comp claim about two years ago for a back injury and she had been taking a lot of time off for health reasons. Without an organization to represent employee rights, there is little anyone can do to challenge the way Walmart treats employees. The lesson is; don't feel bad about quitting Walmart, they are a source of entry-level jobs, where any worker can be replaced with heartless efficiency.
