RE: WalMart spying on it's workers

This surprises anyone how? I'll be surprised if this goes anywhere as most people at Walmart are there because they're hard up for a paycheck and can't find work elsewhere.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

If enough people get outraged which is doubtful in my opinion, there may be some changes and a mass apology. I'm still hopeful that this will go some where.

I know it's not really all that shocking, I may of seem stupid for even posting the thread but it just seemed like the right thing to do at the time.

It should be shocking to some people when they first hear about it, but at least in the country we are under constant surveillance. People used to get upset about it, but now everyone's good, let them spy on me I'm not doing anything wrong. When did this country turn into a herd of mindless spineless jellyfish zombies? For someone like me who used to fight it and get people riled up about it, now everyone has almost become desensitized to it. They can spy on you through the camera on your laptops, and now they have video game systems in homes with cameras and microphones that are pretty much on all the time. At first people were like don't be paranoid, the government would never listen in to me. Well we found that's not true, and they are collecting all information, and if they decide you are a threat, there are back doors into our cell phones, cameras in the video games and computers. Just talk to the hacker community, they know how to do it, and you think the government doesn't?
I think everyone has Stockholm syndrome or just simply doesn't care or lost the will to fight. We need people to wake our neighbors out of their trance!

Went to the new one in CB the other day. Of course the layout is backwards to the one I'm used to.
Weird, there were clerks scattered through the store willing to give directions as I was trying to find a few items. Eerie experience.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

As your friendly neighborhood Walmart associate, I'll just say I'm not surprised.
Ya know, Walmart is so fuckin' anti-union that they literally showed us a 10 minute-long anti-union video during our orientation? I felt like I was watching a film for a cult, lol. The thing's leaked on YouTube I think.

An company that had grown enormous that relies totally on the getting the most value out of the least skilled part of labor pool.
It did so by treating the labors like real human beings, worried that they might move somewhere else if offended, and mindful that they were endowed by a sig if ant fraction of the same rights as members of the most extensive family of billionaires on the planet, of course.
