10 Biggest Myths About Retail Workers

7. That is horrible

My first career was as a nurse. i expected to work holidays ... everyone was paid "holiday" pay (Usually time and a half) and given an alternate day off as a holiday. My pay in that field was ~ 3x the amount you quoted 20 years ago. importantly, i knew I was working for a reason far more important than corporate profits.

I am really disconcerted by those that think it is "no big deal" for a Walmart (insert any retailer) worker ... to give up their holiday for very little pay and the knowledge that they are simply working to increase retail profits.
