It's Time For The Annual Walmart Orgasm!

It’s Time For The 2015 Walmart Orgasm!

Walmart Associates from around the world have been piling into Bentonville, Arkansas over the last few days for the annual celebration in advance of Walmart’s Annual meeting on Saturday.

But what is there to celebrate?

Another year of failure after failure?

Here are the facts since the last annual meeting.

Customer’s who are still visiting Walmart are finding no improvement in Customer Service, shelves still not stocked, and higher prices.  Yes, Walmart has “Now Hiring” signs in every store, but who would want to work for what has become the poster child in retail failures?

Has Walmart reached out to associates who left in mass over the last few years to offer them positions? 

Absolutely not. 

Not even ones that have applied and are eligible for rehire.

Associates were supposedly given raises and some got schedules that were a little better, but that was at the cost of that was loss of overnight differentials.  Associates have been chiseled out of other things as well.  What happened to Mr. Sam’s policy that anytime there is a change that would take something away from an existing associate, it should not happen?

Shareholders, continue to get the shaft, which they have for each and every year since the last stock split on April 19, 1999.

This table shows your investment’s gain or loss on an annual basis since May 1999.  You will note that in the past year, your investment has lost 3.256% of its value.

Even more shocking is the overall return since the last stock split.  After a little over 16 years, those that have been long term shareholders of Walmart stock have only received an annual return on their investment of 2.8575%.

 

Our calculations are based on just the stock price, not any dividends received.

Corporate boards of poorly performing companies, especially those with a progressive leadership like Walmart, operate under the rule, if we raise the dividend every year, the shareholders will not realize they are not making much, or even worse, losing money on their investment in our company.

From Customers, to Associates, to Shareholders, we know it is time for a change at Walmart.

Progressive and Liberal leaders that have moved in since Mr. Sam passed and proceeded to change Walmart’s mold from that of a trailblazing, conservative company, that offered the best prices on its products, excellent benefits to its associates, and provided excellent investment growth for its shareholders, into a company that has a long track record of failure after failure, a company that now has unions swarming around it trying to organize its associates, and competitors reeking in the sales from those customers that have taken their business away from Walmart.

It is time for a major, fundamental change at Walmart.

It is time to return Mr. Sam, his beliefs, values, and trailblazing business sprit to Walmart!

As a final note, thank you to Our Walmart for causing associates to be further chiseled in the past year.  Your continuing efforts to organize Walmart associates under the smoke and mirrors act of demanding higher pay, better benefits, blah, blah, blah, have cost each and every associate dearly after Walmart made changes in March.  

Our Walmart, you do not have a place in the discussion or changes, your support by unions, and taking associates money so they can have access to your site is unacceptable, and may be considered “Union Dues”.  Do those of us that are working tirelessly to return Mr. Sam’s beliefs, values, and trailblazing business spirit to the company, by leaving the discussion.

I also challenge those who joined Our Walmart and your hard earned money each month to sever the tie, stop paying a Union.

Mr. Sam realized the awesome power of his associates long ago, associates do not need Our Walmart or any other organization to make change.  I challenge each and every one of you, whether you are in Bentonville this weekend for the annual meeting, or in the stores, to join together and take this challenge to make change to restore Walmart to the once great company it was when Mr. Sam was in charge.

Knowledge is power! 

It’s Not Sam’s Walmart…..Anymore!  is here for one reason, to return Sam Walton’s beliefs, values, and trail blazing business spirit , that stresses Customer Service and Value to Walmart!
