We shouldn't inject everything at once. it may cause unwanted side effects.

We should inject several times.

Mainly, it has desensitized me to graphic visual images, though in a weird way. Like the other night, I was at work watching The Wedding Crashers and was stoked at the bewbs, even though i'm in a shop with 12-15k pr0n movies in stock and can pop one open and watch it whenever I want to. Also, I think the relief of coming from a much more stressful work environment is what finally help my wife and I to conceive.

Terrible. The first few years were good, but when our store manager left we went from having a guy who cared about everybody, knew everybody's name (500+) and would do anything he could to help you out to having a woman who couldn't care less and was only there for a 6 figure paycheck. I had to deal with her every day and I was in there getting pushed around by my wife in a wheelchair 2 months after my hip replacement and she didn't even know why I was off work, or even that I had been off work. They finally fired her and we got one that was worse, who would just make up policies and lie to associates constantly on top of being one of the most flat out rude people I've ever encountered. The store is going down the crapper and I can't really say I'm sad.

It all starts from the top-down. If a company does well, usually it's due to a good CEO. And the opposite is true.

I really think that one of the only things keeping the Wal-Mart juggernaut going is that it's just so huge and pervasive. The whole decision making process of the company has gotten progressively worse since Sam died. He's probably worn a hole in the bottom of his casket from rolling over so many times.

Right, it's not just about having the lowest prices. You have to remain in touch with both your customers and your employees. I saw more bad publicity for them recently on CNN. A man had to pay back hundreds of thousands to Wal-Mart (when his family was broke) after some sort of insurance money kicked in for the family. I can actually see that Wal-Mart was in the right to re-claim the money that they had paid out, but it just looks really bad to the public when a rich, powerful company takes what is a paltry sum to them from a struggling family.

That sounds like a very greedy decision and they could have made a nice profile from that.

Unfortunately for big companies like Wal-Mart, they probably won't get any publicity from doing a nice thing for an employee like that. But, if they do something like the above, they'll be sure to make CNN.

They are certainly a corporate, even a cultural, juggernaut. I don't even see the slow down in the US economy hurting them much. I could see it hurting high-end retailers, but Wal Mart sells "good value" stuff, and that's where people usually turn to during tough times.

Very true. AT&T was the very definition of a monopoly. It had the wealth and power to take over small countries. I was a bit young then, but I remember an older friend telling me that it got broken up into what we now have as the smaller "Bells" (Southwest Bell, etc).
