Former Wal-Mart employee, one of my favorite training videos is a recent one about workplace shootings to teach employees how to defend themselves within an office space, and it features employees blocking a pull door, and then the shooter pushing on the pull door. I think I received multiple looks when I burst out laughing. Wish it was publicly online.
Ironically enough, most of the American media business is heavyly unionized - including most of the actors. I am certain Walmart made sure that no unionized actors were harmed during the making of this video.
Well, this is why Walmart failed in Germany. We want everything to just be on a professional basis, no 'cultlike behaviors' (as it was called in newspapers), cashiers are rather quick than friendly and we sure are gonna unionize if you want to or not. Especially greeders were hated and 'morning motivation' was seen as very weird.
I remember going at the supermarket in Berlin. Those cashiers are fast, like so fast it would make breaking news in my country. "Fastest cashier in the world". Makes me appreciate how lazyness is a working right in my country
@@Adahn99 We also have a lot more people working less hours as well. My big brother is a software engineer with a phd and chooses to work 5 hours a day, 4 days a week. He told me that when he really concentrates, working 8 hours is just unrealistic and a lot of people in his company work 4 hours a day as well. That is what I also really like, that employers see hard work over hours.
No wonder people of my country (Poland) want to work in Germany. Personally I hate the mentality that the customer is way above the employee. It's such a caricature - a slave dancing on every word of the master...and sorry for the gruesome wording, but I've worked in two fields that narrow down to customer service - lemme tell you a lot of people are entitled AH.
It is spoken of that when he, Sam the Radiant One, was born, a triple rainbow encircled the city of Kingfisher, Oklahoma, and a cormorant sang of the glory of the deeds he would do in his life! When he entered school, he was already fluent in English, and began teaching the teachers! After school, he went to college and mastered every single subject in human history, before creating the greatest grocery store chain on Earth, which made every other grocer jealous forever. Also, he didn't have a butthole. That's important for some reason.

It's either muted or at a low volume most of the time (but we are not allowed to turn it off).

The UNION was invented by my uncle, Ed. He come from the south ⬇️ to really coin the phrase if u catch my drift🐠🐠🐠🐠 I mean yeah, he rated Walmart using his heart and his head 🗣️🗣️🗣️ and said yo this ends here. I'm damn near endangered😊 I said na no way but yes.
"We' re like a family here" lol, when Walmart tried to set foot in Germany they tried to introduce a guide line that forbade coworkers from hanging out together in private or 'give each other lustful looks, make suggestive jokes or communicate in any way that could be interpreted in a sexual way'. They even had a phone number for employees to snitch on each other
I remember in high school one of my friends getting written up at Walmart for calling an ambulance for an older lady who was having a seizure (not a grand one, the kind where someone just stops talking mid sentence and can't respond). He had to call himself because management didn't believe him when he reported it, and he got written up because an ambulance was "bad publicity" and "disrupting sales".
@@Boy_Boy unions in america are fucking abysmal, companies will legit put more money into brainwashing employees into "unions bad" so they dont have to raise wages or make working conditions better. Were fucked
@@TheMartine Unions can to some degree affect unemployment positively because it raises the wages employers need to pay their workes. This is positive because the workers who get salary, get more, but it is negative because some of these workers might take up salary which could have gone to employ more people. Also if some parts of society is unionized and some parts are not, it can cause misallocation of wages and resouces, resulting in innefective resource allocation. There wil always be positive and negative sides to something, and unions are no exception to that rule.
I hate when big anti union companies pretend their employees are one big happy family when they actively discourage too much bond building between employees because it leads to unionising
German here, have visited usa on work trips several times. The greeters were amongst the weirdest things there (besides the unspeakably low privacy on every single bathroomstalls due to stupendously large gaps in the toilet door). The role of the greeter always felt so fake to me. It is obvious that the person doing the greeting doesn't want to do it and truly doesn't give a shit about your general presence. And everybody comming through the door just knows that, and doesn't care for it either. Who on earth is convinced that having a greeter is a great idea? All it does (in my eyes) is convey a strong sense of a very, very bad attempt of brainwashing people into feeling appreciated. It makes me squirm inside, this blatant act of insincerity and greed. Great video, guys! Due to the age restriction yt has placed on this video (for whatever reasons), this has been the last video I've bingewatched from this channel. Can't wait for the next one, I love your content!
Late comment, but that's not why greeter's are there. They are there to try and stop theft. If they are not checking receipts directly (which they do in most stores) they are there to let would be thieves know that they are being watched. I believe I read if you interact with an employee when you enter a store, you are less likely to shoplift.
@@derrick3001 Except that even if they catch a shoplifter, they can't touch them. If they're lucky and feel motivated, they can lock the entrance to delay the thief. Seen that a few times during my 4 years of pushing carts. The Walmart I worked at, the AP office was on one end, and it's funny seeing the AP managers running to the opposite end of the whole store to try to catch someone. Some run in a genuine attempt to catch them, others just take their sweet time strolling down to the other door.
Actual purpose of a greater supposedly helps reduce theft of Walmart merch. It's psychology tricks that are somewhat effective amongst a good % of the masses.
Apparently thieves are amazing and effective job creators. May we all thank thieves for continuing to virtuously contribute to job security, especially as we head into a recession.
I worked at Wally World for a summer, and the vid they showed me also included “if someone outside the building is talking about unions, report them to your manager immediately”, as if the unionist was going to blow the place up and the manager was the only one who could stop them. Truly insane.
Yeah, most jobs are the complete opposite. I have had a few jobs where I have thought like this, but when I worked at McDonalds was definitely not one of those.
While I definitely agree 90% of the time, sometimes it's uncomfortable outside and when I finish this short, simple task I get to take an extended break. So sometimes I'd appreciate not dragging this process out so we can bust out the Osha-approved super safety harnesses and bulky ladders that make everything harder instead of just standing on a bucket for a minute. So it just depends on the situation really.
I'm in the mason union and I love it. They won't let you do anything unless it's as safe as it can possibly be, we aren't rushed unless we have a huge pour going, but we all know it's go time when that happens. It's fucking amazing. I'm happy to pay a few dollars to the union in exchange for a comfortable, safe place to work. And, despite paying that few dollars, I make way more than any Craigslist labor worker would ever make. The only way I could really make more money by doing this work is starting my own business.
The workers really are scared of union representatives. One store was taking steps towards a union meeting, and was completely closed because of it. So, many workers have it in their head that if they spoke to a representative everyone could end up losing their jobs because of it. As far as the “ open door policy” they would say management couldn’t retaliate if people express concerns. However, I’ve seen them pick people apart later, and fire them for meaningless stuff. Everyone knew that wasn’t what it was really about though. At two points during my career there they fired a large amount of people who were close to retirement for petty reasons. I worked as an optician for a long time, and would not recommend it to anyone. It was underpaid, and I ended up personally screwed over so many times. Worked open to close, came in on days off, acted as manager whenever we were without one for up to six months at a time. I’m from a small group of towns with little employment opportunities. Eventually I quit and now drive a super far distance to work in a factory. I don’t regret it at all. Sorry to ramble I guess I just had some stuff to get out lol.
Nah decent comment bud, it's just the USA, all of these corporations, people from many countries can't believe the working conditions and level of propaganda and indoctrination. Like the same with a first world country not having free and universal healthcare. This whole comments section is just people's painful stories of being abused by large corporations in the USA lol. Fck I hate that country. Good luck to you with work, anyway.
"As someone that has a disregard for safety and enjoys that, i enjoyed it" yeah, i think that was pretty clear with almost every video in the I did a thing channel...

About the pie toucher, most employees do that in retail. Id say maybe an hour total spread throughout the day as a cashier you spend going up to random shelves in front of store and just slightly adjusting things until they look as neat as possible. There’s even a term for it.
That sounds so depressing. It's wild how much mindless work goes into making the consumer experience perfect. Do you know the term for slightly adjusting things?
@@user-mh6dv1ww4u 'facing' in Costco, although it's less about doing it daily and only during stocking to impress the manager. The shelf transforms into a war zone during operating hours anyways.
Bro craziest thing ever, I AM THE GUY IN THE THUMBNAIL!!! i worked at Wal-mart a couple years ago and was put in one of the Wally magazines without me knowing lol I used to work in the garden center, the black lady in the thumbnail was my old supervisor... such a small world. I think they have me in a picture in a corvette inside the store aswell. Honestly just stumbled across "I did a Thing"'s main channel and loved it so i thought i check out this channel and i see my face on a thumbnail xD blew my mind and made my night.
I find it incredible that they manage to convince even a single employee to be against unions. "Hey employees, you know what you don't want? To be part of a group that has the power to get you higher pay and more fair working conditions!". People don't make labor unions when they are happy with their pay and working conditions, and the only cons to a labor union are to the business and potentially its customers - none of the cons are for the employees. And if you are earning minimum wage and working dumb hours in unsafe conditions, you shouldn't really care if your employer makes less profit, or the customers end up paying more - the employer should make less profit or charge more for their product/service if they can't make that profit or charge the prices they do while not paying their employees properly, or making them work in bad conditions.
One negative is certain unions are infiltrated by anti-union people and organized crime and laws can be made that make it the only union allowed. Therefore people believe all unions are bad
@@essr4580 The main problem I see with unions is when people are not given an alternative. Yet it is such a complex thing, because lets say you get offered incentives to not join a union, that makes sense on the surface, the employers now have to compete with the union to provide better benefits independently. That's good, competition leading to more options. If the incentives are good enough the union dies and what is stopping them from reducing your benefits after the fact? I personally think ideally it should be government enforcing minimum quality of employment but that is not the reality we live in. What is government supposed to be but a giant all encompassing union meant to look after its member's interests?
My sister worked at Walmart. At one point, there were rumors that the deli workers wanted to unionize. Suddenly, the deli was closed for a few months for renovation. They don't play around w/ the union talk.
“Union trying to hurt my company” lol Lady, I don’t own the company. The company pays me every day to show up and do the bare minimum to meet expectations. I don’t care if the company’s profit margin goes from 6% to 5% if I get paid more.

RUclips is socially liberal. That's a big leap away from actual socialism. The left YT is a part of is economically conservative. So not Socialist at all. Boy boy being pro union for example is a huge leap from YTs 'left'. I'm pretty sure google and YT have been trying to union bust for years.

Work in a grocery store that's very open to working with the local union. We're nearly constantly getting bonuses and they renegotiate starting wages and wage increases quite regularly. Bonuses aren't anything crazy but they definitely help and are appreciated. It barely even costs anything in dues either. I only every pay about 20 dollars a month to the union and I get free dental work and life insurance out of it. Among other things
That's the reality, lol. Fck I hate the US and Walmart, the biggest employer on earth. Things are slowly changing though, now starbucks, amazon, they'll fight so hard to stop pro-union sentiment, close down a location, fire employees, it makes the news just for a couple minimum wage employees discussing a union. insane.
@@nanaa9074 bruh what freedom do we have to start with? We don't even own our own labour, let alone for most of us a house.

I worked at a walmart in the us for 3 months, and it was all this but worse. I still can't believe the VR workplace shooting training. 20 years ago and that would be the opening to a dystopian novel.
I used to work at Home Depot- every other month had mandatory anti-union training. A couple of guys would joke about “saying the U word”. If you think Walmart’s labor treatment was bad, Home Depot would pile unfinished work on random people. Jimmy quit last week? John’s gotta do twice the work. Now John quit? Well, Bob’s get a triple workload now
I always love my monthly anti-union training, because it’s like an extra break. I get, like, an hour of sitting in the back with the volume on the computer muted. I just pop in my headphones and watch my favorite pro-union RUclips channels as I pretend to watch my workplace’s anti-union videos.
As a Canadian living in Nova Scotia sadly I do not work at Walmart. But I do go to work feeling fear everyday due to tree removal, so Walmart isn’t that much adrenaline.
I showed one of my friends this video just now, and before I moved a few years ago, one of our favorite things to do together was watching old training videos on youtube and just make fun of them and how fucking weird they were, This video made me and her reminiscence about inside jokes that bring us to tears from those videos that no one else will ever possibly understand, so thanks for that lol. This is way more nostalgic for me than it probably should be, but I'm okay with that.
when a company says the work is "flexibile" what it means is you're gonna get a shit contract with inconsistent hours where the company can randomly cut your hours at any time to save money and fuck you over
The most ironic thing is that every Actor and Writer is part of a union. So the people making these anti-union videos have more secure jobs and work because of the thing they're pretending to hate.
i worked as a stocker/backroom associate at walmart for four months before it was too much. among all sorts of other bad things, higher management would always get on you for not doing enough and being too slow etc, and then you'd see those same people disappear and find out from a coworker they just quit on the spot lmao. also the mayo aisle had not just mayo but ketchup, mustard, and salad dressing n shit as well. america's insane but we're not entire-aisle-stocked-with-mayo insane LOL
FYI the dude touching the pies was probably ordered to do that. In target it’s called “zoning” which involves moving objects to the front of the shelf to make them more appealing to customers…and yes it’s a total waste of time.
I love how they were joking about how they don't need a union because they're actors pretending to be Walmart workers.... When those actors probably actually had a union unlike the Walmart workers they were playing.
For some reason, RUclips is asking me to verify my age on this video, with an actual bank card or ID. I will never willingly submit to this, so I thought, "Hey, why not tell the two boys about this, and maybe they could try to figure out why I, as a member of the EU, are told I have to legally verify my age by RUclips just to watch one of your videos. I could see the North Korean video just fine, though. Even the dead children. So it's not really a "working" system for protecting children, as much as it is an "annoying" cunt of a mistake.
@@Boy_Boy That, is absolutely fcked. I have no idea why that has happened, but please make more similar content at some stage, to see if it really is some obscure form of censorship. It's happened regularly on this platform, anti-china sentiment in videos gets mass reported or otherwise same sentiment, among a lot of other things.
@@Boy_Boy Well, I'll let you know if my VPN starts working for this again. RUclips is doing something to remember my last geographical location and rebooting the PC doesn't help fool them. At least, that's my best guess. I now understand why the UK thinks leaving the EU was a good idea. It wasn't though. They live on a shitty, wet rock.
@@MuFu23 There is a workaround, which I have used to bypass the same problem of age verification. I downloaded a browser add-on named tampermonkey and installed some instructions over a github link that a friend sent me. I'm not going to post the link unsolicited, since I myself probably wouldn't click anything like that either, out of security concerns. But I'm sure you can just google the matter and set it up yourself, it's not rocket science. It helps a lot in getting "the old" youtube back. Hope this helps =)
The worst shit was when management would make us do the "walmart cheer". It felt like some sort of ritualistic capitalist chant we were reciting to summon the spirit of Sam Walton to bust unions and exploit prison labor.
How is it even legal to even mention that unions are bad as an employer. That is so bizarre to me, how is it accepted? Unions are a purely positive thing for the workers. Wild.
America has "laws" where you can just go out and spend tens of millions of dollars hiring a law firm to tell your employees how bad unions are to get around some of the very weak laws they have defending unions as well lol.
I also enjoy having a slight disregard for workplace health and safety, best part of the job I did was when we had an impromptu jousting tournament using pallet jacks as steeds and spears/shovels as lances.
I just imagined that video clip meme of all the Vin Diesel look-alikes droning "Family. Family. Family.", I would just super-impose Walmart blue aprons on them :)
I used to work for Walmart a few years ago, and the videos they had had acting similar to the acting in a hostage situation. It was like the actors were being held at gunpoint, and told to act happy or their families would be killed.
Former Walmart onahole here. That little massage is called "zoning". You do it at the end of your shift to make all the little goodies stand straight, front, and center on the shelf. You do this for about an hour or more depending, after which your gloves are wet and cold from the frost melting into them.
I love the content guys. As a Boy boy associate I would recommend some sounds proofing triangles because the audio can be difficult to listen to due to an echo
Wow, you've just earned yourself a promotion to manager! Now your job is to build us soundproofing triangles and report any misbehaving associates to us. The probationary period lasts two years and after that your pay might increase by 20c an hour.
k the whiplash woman is Melissa Ponzio, like a proper actress who has probably never worked for walmart before. she’s literally in an acting union and has benefited from that since she was doing old shitty walmart training videos to new shitty mtv shows. bonkers
As a union worker at UPS the most inconvenient rule I have to deal with are that I need to face ladders while going down them and maintain 3 points of contact, even on the 2 step "ladders" that go up to the walkway before the trailers. Which I get, it's a safety thing, I just kinda wish for something that small they'd just make steps so it doesn't qualify as a ladder and we can get through quicker. Other than that the only thing that kinda sucks sometimes is that I'm not allowed to work through my break. So yeah, unions are soooooo baaaaaad for workers... Toooooootally not just Walmart trying to convince workers they don't need a union to protect them from Walmart exploiting them.
Yea, they just care about keeping it real more than getting mad views. The algorithm is one thing. But if they wanted fame, they would just go ahead and lose all the cute quirks for shock value and they're just not that type, as people. I mean you have like 50 Keemstars and only one Boy Boy. I'm sure they'll at least a little bit more general recognition soon enough though.
Last time I was in a Walmart it was during Christmas and I realized they had like their own radio station where instead of ads they cheerily suggested things to buy. I've experienced these before in other stores but for soem reason this felt more dystopian
Every job I've had started out with at least an hour or two talk about why unions are bad. "Because here at ________ we're a family, and families take care of each other. You wouldnt let some stranger interfer with your family would you?" Exact quote.
my favorite isle is always the mayo isle. so many different types and brands to choose from. its almost overwhelming, but then I remember that once i get even just one mayo my life will be better. So i just grab one and drink it and that usually helps with the unioncidal thoughts i get.
Most people are just introverts around strangers so a greeter is the dumbest idea, so many of my customers just avoid making eye contact or any interaction with me at the door 😂It's also so awkward to say hello and get no response, almost every single staff member avoids doing it at all costs. But hey I guess I get paid to do nothing for the time being. I only greet customers when my boss is around, but just stand there, smile at people, and daydream when she isn't looking 😂
I totally feel this, I've been a greeter at previous jobs too. I definitely get the vibe that most people don't want to be greeted. I think I'd rather be doing any other job in the store though, time goes by soooooo slowly when you're just standing there at the door.
Not even a few months ago I was forced to do death by power point at my shitty ghetto convenience store job. “Unions r bad n stuff!” I barely absorbed any of the information and used common sense. It’s insane how these companies describe themselves as friendly but in all reality they don’t offer even reasonable accommodation or opportunity for raises. To them a raise is 25-50 cents every year or whatever. While my store has no ‘cult leader’ the individuals are often very full of themselves making a sort of localized cult. It’s a weird feeling to describe and they often have unrealistic expectations for new workers. As if by day 5 I should know the store better than I know every nook and cranny of my body. Truly machine like.

Former Wal-Mart employee, one of my favorite training videos is a recent one about workplace shootings to teach employees how to defend themselves within an office space, and it features employees blocking a pull door, and then the shooter pushing on the pull door. I think I received multiple looks when I burst out laughing. Wish it was publicly online.

Ironically enough, most of the American media business is heavyly unionized - including most of the actors. I am certain Walmart made sure that no unionized actors were harmed during the making of this video.
They probably found actors on craigslist

"Real actors, not people."
...says the dude from Scandinavia. 🥶😳
I wonder if they'd have a tough time joining an actors' union with anti-union propaganda on their resumés...
Well, this is why Walmart failed in Germany. We want everything to just be on a professional basis, no 'cultlike behaviors' (as it was called in newspapers), cashiers are rather quick than friendly and we sure are gonna unionize if you want to or not.
Especially greeders were hated and 'morning motivation' was seen as very weird.
Imagine Germans doing morning chants😂 I really love how Walmart Germany was such a huge flop.
I remember going at the supermarket in Berlin. Those cashiers are fast, like so fast it would make breaking news in my country. "Fastest cashier in the world". Makes me appreciate how lazyness is a working right in my country
@@Adahn99 We also have a lot more people working less hours as well. My big brother is a software engineer with a phd and chooses to work 5 hours a day, 4 days a week. He told me that when he really concentrates, working 8 hours is just unrealistic and a lot of people in his company work 4 hours a day as well. That is what I also really like, that employers see hard work over hours.
Germany sounds almost like heaven. Or like new jersey
No wonder people of my country (Poland) want to work in Germany. Personally I hate the mentality that the customer is way above the employee. It's such a caricature - a slave dancing on every word of the master...and sorry for the gruesome wording, but I've worked in two fields that narrow down to customer service - lemme tell you a lot of people are entitled AH.
It is spoken of that when he, Sam the Radiant One, was born, a triple rainbow encircled the city of Kingfisher, Oklahoma, and a cormorant sang of the glory of the deeds he would do in his life! When he entered school, he was already fluent in English, and began teaching the teachers! After school, he went to college and mastered every single subject in human history, before creating the greatest grocery store chain on Earth, which made every other grocer jealous forever. Also, he didn't have a butthole. That's important for some reason.
This is a beautiful recitation of the chronicles of Sam, the radiant one would be proud.

@@Boy_Boy The implications of it are definitely terrifying, but my colleagues generally ignore it as far as I can tell. It's either muted or at a low volume most of the time (but we are not allowed to turn it off). The feed's messages, however, are reinforced by frequent computer lessons and meetings that coat training and policy content with a layer of corporate doublespeak. Some of my colleagues seem to hold the company's culture in high esteem, but it's difficult to gauge how much the propaganda has altered their views or if it's just the culture that fits with their political alignments.

I remember in high school one of my friends getting written up at Walmart for calling an ambulance for an older lady who was having a seizure (not a grand one, the kind where someone just stops talking mid sentence and can't respond). He had to call himself because management didn't believe him when he reported it, and he got written up because an ambulance was "bad publicity" and "disrupting sales".

There are pros and cons to unions, but the pros outweight the cons in most cases 🤗
@@whitemagicsponge7190 What are the cons?
@@TheMartine Unions can to some degree affect unemployment positively because it raises the wages employers need to pay their workes. This is positive because the workers who get salary, get more, but it is negative because some of these workers might take up salary which could have gone to employ more people.
Also if some parts of society is unionized and some parts are not, it can cause misallocation of wages and resouces, resulting in innefective resource allocation.
There wil always be positive and negative sides to something, and unions are no exception to that rule.
I'm 2 burnouts away from being promoted to stand in the mayonaise isle ! so excited !

I hate when big anti union companies pretend their employees are one big happy family when they actively discourage too much bond building between employees because it leads to unionising
German here, have visited usa on work trips several times. The greeters were amongst the weirdest things there (besides the unspeakably low privacy on every single bathroomstalls due to stupendously large gaps in the toilet door). The role of the greeter always felt so fake to me. It is obvious that the person doing the greeting doesn't want to do it and truly doesn't give a shit about your general presence. And everybody comming through the door just knows that, and doesn't care for it either.
Who on earth is convinced that having a greeter is a great idea? All it does (in my eyes) is convey a strong sense of a very, very bad attempt of brainwashing people into feeling appreciated. It makes me squirm inside, this blatant act of insincerity and greed.
Great video, guys! Due to the age restriction yt has placed on this video (for whatever reasons), this has been the last video I've bingewatched from this channel. Can't wait for the next one, I love your content!
Late comment, but that's not why greeter's are there. They are there to try and stop theft.
If they are not checking receipts directly (which they do in most stores) they are there to let would be thieves know that they are being watched. I believe I read if you interact with an employee when you enter a store, you are less likely to shoplift.
@@derrick3001 This
@@derrick3001 Except that even if they catch a shoplifter, they can't touch them. If they're lucky and feel motivated, they can lock the entrance to delay the thief. Seen that a few times during my 4 years of pushing carts. The Walmart I worked at, the AP office was on one end, and it's funny seeing the AP managers running to the opposite end of the whole store to try to catch someone. Some run in a genuine attempt to catch them, others just take their sweet time strolling down to the other door.
Actual purpose of a greater supposedly helps reduce theft of Walmart merch. It's psychology tricks that are somewhat effective amongst a good % of the masses.
Apparently thieves are amazing and effective job creators. May we all thank thieves for continuing to virtuously contribute to job security, especially as we head into a recession.
"Unions are struggling to survive!" Okay, lady who has been hired specifically to tell me not to join one
I worked at Wally World for a summer, and the vid they showed me also included “if someone outside the building is talking about unions, report them to your manager immediately”, as if the unionist was going to blow the place up and the manager was the only one who could stop them. Truly insane.
"I wish I could rush so I can do more work in my shift" said literally fucking no one ever every single job is a running out the clock situation.
Yeah, most jobs are the complete opposite. I have had a few jobs where I have thought like this, but when I worked at McDonalds was definitely not one of those.
While I definitely agree 90% of the time, sometimes it's uncomfortable outside and when I finish this short, simple task I get to take an extended break. So sometimes I'd appreciate not dragging this process out so we can bust out the Osha-approved super safety harnesses and bulky ladders that make everything harder instead of just standing on a bucket for a minute. So it just depends on the situation really.
@@pejakwopes954 I'm fine with spending a bit more time so I don't die.
I'm in the mason union and I love it. They won't let you do anything unless it's as safe as it can possibly be, we aren't rushed unless we have a huge pour going, but we all know it's go time when that happens. It's fucking amazing. I'm happy to pay a few dollars to the union in exchange for a comfortable, safe place to work. And, despite paying that few dollars, I make way more than any Craigslist labor worker would ever make. The only way I could really make more money by doing this work is starting my own business.
"We have a great thing going here"
Why did that sound like an abuser trying to manipulate their victim?
Ah. Because it is
The workers really are scared of union representatives. One store was taking steps towards a union meeting, and was completely closed because of it. So, many workers have it in their head that if they spoke to a representative everyone could end up losing their jobs because of it.
As far as the “ open door policy” they would say management couldn’t retaliate if people express concerns. However, I’ve seen them pick people apart later, and fire them for meaningless stuff. Everyone knew that wasn’t what it was really about though. At two points during my career there they fired a large amount of people who were close to retirement for petty reasons.
I worked as an optician for a long time, and would not recommend it to anyone. It was underpaid, and I ended up personally screwed over so many times. Worked open to close, came in on days off, acted as manager whenever we were without one for up to six months at a time. I’m from a small group of towns with little employment opportunities. Eventually I quit and now drive a super far distance to work in a factory. I don’t regret it at all. Sorry to ramble I guess I just had some stuff to get out lol.
Nah decent comment bud, it's just the USA, all of these corporations, people from many countries can't believe the working conditions and level of propaganda and indoctrination. Like the same with a first world country not having free and universal healthcare. This whole comments section is just people's painful stories of being abused by large corporations in the USA lol.

I find it incredible that they manage to convince even a single employee to be against unions. "Hey employees, you know what you don't want? To be part of a group that has the power to get you higher pay and more fair working conditions!". People don't make labor unions when they are happy with their pay and working conditions, and the only cons to a labor union are to the business and potentially its customers - none of the cons are for the employees. And if you are earning minimum wage and working dumb hours in unsafe conditions, you shouldn't really care if your employer makes less profit, or the customers end up paying more - the employer should make less profit or charge more for their product/service if they can't make that profit or charge the prices they do while not paying their employees properly, or making them work in bad conditions.
Spot on. The craziest part is that they're generally successful in stopping union membership across the board.
One negative is certain unions are infiltrated by anti-union people and organized crime and laws can be made that make it the only union allowed. Therefore people believe all unions are bad
@@essr4580 hi
@@essr4580 The main problem I see with unions is when people are not given an alternative. Yet it is such a complex thing, because lets say you get offered incentives to not join a union, that makes sense on the surface, the employers now have to compete with the union to provide better benefits independently. That's good, competition leading to more options. If the incentives are good enough the union dies and what is stopping them from reducing your benefits after the fact?
I personally think ideally it should be government enforcing minimum quality of employment but that is not the reality we live in. What is government supposed to be but a giant all encompassing union meant to look after its member's interests?

The worst shit was when management would make us do the "walmart cheer". It felt like some sort of ritualistic capitalist chant we were reciting to summon the spirit of Sam Walton to bust unions and exploit prison labor.
How is it even legal to even mention that unions are bad as an employer. That is so bizarre to me, how is it accepted? Unions are a purely positive thing for the workers. Wild.

As a union worker at UPS the most inconvenient rule I have to deal with are that I need to face ladders while going down them and maintain 3 points of contact, even on the 2 step "ladders" that go up to the walkway before the trailers. Which I get, it's a safety thing, I just kinda wish for something that small they'd just make steps so it doesn't qualify as a ladder and we can get through quicker. Other than that the only thing that kinda sucks sometimes is that I'm not allowed to work through my break.
So yeah, unions are soooooo baaaaaad for workers... Toooooootally not just Walmart trying to convince workers they don't need a union to protect them from Walmart exploiting them.
They are underrated
Yea, they just care about keeping it real more than getting mad views. The algorithm is one thing. But if they wanted fame, they would just go ahead and lose all the cute quirks for shock value and they're just not that type, as people. I mean you have like 50 Keemstars and only one Boy Boy. I'm sure they'll at least a little bit more general recognition soon enough though.
@@E.Frey2002 if it was promoted on the main channel I did a thing they would grow rapidly
the return of Boy Boy
yea i used to work at a target and there was a armed robbery ofc i was still marked late for not clocking out
Last time I was in a Walmart it was during Christmas and I realized they had like their own radio station where instead of ads they cheerily suggested things to buy. I've experienced these before in other stores but for soem reason this felt more dystopian
i think i lasted 6 months at walmart before I got fired after having a mental breakdown from the stress LMAO
super fun 10/10
Anti-union behaviour in Italy would lead to a enormous fine, and the company could be closed
Every job I've had started out with at least an hour or two talk about why unions are bad. "Because here at ________ we're a family, and families take care of each other. You wouldnt let some stranger interfer with your family would you?" Exact quote.
my favorite isle is always the mayo isle. so many different types and brands to choose from. its almost overwhelming, but then I remember that once i get even just one mayo my life will be better. So i just grab one and drink it and that usually helps with the unioncidal thoughts i get.
Most people are just introverts around strangers so a greeter is the dumbest idea, so many of my customers just avoid making eye contact or any interaction with me at the door 😂It's also so awkward to say hello and get no response, almost every single staff member avoids doing it at all costs. But hey I guess I get paid to do nothing for the time being. I only greet customers when my boss is around, but just stand there, smile at people, and daydream when she isn't looking 😂
I totally feel this, I've been a greeter at previous jobs too.
I definitely get the vibe that most people don't want to be greeted. I think I'd rather be doing any other job in the store though, time goes by soooooo slowly when you're just standing there at the door.
Not even a few months ago I was forced to do death by power point at my shitty ghetto convenience store job.
“Unions r bad n stuff!” I barely absorbed any of the information and used common sense.
It’s insane how these companies describe themselves as friendly but in all reality they don’t offer even reasonable accommodation or opportunity for raises. To them a raise is 25-50 cents every year or whatever. While my store has no ‘cult leader’ the individuals are often very full of themselves making a sort of localized cult. It’s a weird feeling to describe and they often have unrealistic expectations for new workers. As if by day 5 I should know the store better than I know every nook and cranny of my body. Truly machine like.
Once got woken up by my mom after a 10 hour shift i woke up in a shock and asked if she wanted the recite.
Not Melissa from Teen Wolf (TV Series) acting as a Walmart recruiter 😭
