Heartbreak at Wally World...

Corporate management wants to put a warm body out on the sales floor, never mind their ability or knowledge. Young teenagers & early 20's people work for less than people in their 30's, 40's & 50's. Of course, they don't stick around more than a couple of years (to gain knowledge & experience). Corporate philosophy is "do more with less". I worked in retail for over 20 years and saw less and less "associates" on the sales floor during my career. Consequently I, as a manager, was expected to work longer hours and more days. During November, December & January we were expected to work seven days a week. Thanksgiving, Christmas & New Years, too. I hung it up after that.
