Holiday bonus nonsense
Does it make sense to anyone that only people that worked at Walmart for at least 23 years are eligible for the holiday bonus?
absolutely outrageous
Has anybody thought about how Walmart has more than 2 million associates and how if they gave only a 200$ bonus to everyone it would cost them more than 400 million dollars??
I'm not defending them they really need to work on it but I'm just saying that it's impossible that everyone gets one
I guess it’s their way of incentivizing loyalty, but 23 years is extreme. Most people don’t stay at a job that long these days.
True. The average tenure at most jobs is, what, 5-7 years? It feels out of touch with how people work now.
Incentivizing loyalty is fine, but they need to balance it with recognizing short-term contributions too.
It’s almost like they’re betting most employees won’t qualify, so they don’t have to pay out as much.
It sounds like a cost-cutting measure disguised as a reward. How many employees even hit the 23-year mark?
It’s probably designed to reward the long-timers who grew with the company, but yeah, it’s alienating to newer workers. Maybe a tiered bonus system would make more sense.
A tiered system is a great idea. Everyone would feel included, but the long-timers could still get extra recognition.
Totally agree. A system where everyone gets something would boost morale across the board.

I'm literally ashamed to tell my friends this when they start talking about how fat their holiday bonuses were at their companies
