Walmart hiring 20,000 workers, raising wages ahead of holidays

[Midnight Writer]

5. At our local Walmart, shelves sit empty while pallets of goods sit in the aisles.

I talked to a women working there, and she said they have several workers devoted to gathering orders for pick-up, and they haven't hired more people to handle the extra workload.

The people who usually stock the shelves have been diverted, and their work is not getting done. At the same time, corporate management is ordering them to cut back on work hours and overtime.

The place is starting to look like a junk store, with items scattered about willy-nilly and items on the wrong shelves, mismarked prices, and disgruntled workers, many who care more about the store than the management.
