Secondly, COST doesn't nickel and dime its employees like WMT does.....and that's the point that CJ was making........that COST pays its employees a better wage and provides them with more benefits than WMT. By being niggardly with its employees, more wealth accrues to WMT's mgmt and shareholders......you know what I have been saying for years now.....your fav people, the rich, keep getting richer at the expense of the poor. COST to some degree shares its profit with their employees...what you would call communism or socialism.
You seem to have fooled yourself into thinking costco is some kind of non-profit coop. I hate to tell you Costco is not a socialistic enterprise. They're capitalists pursuing wealth too. Their personnel policies have nothing to do with giving up wealth for Costco's management and shareholders. They're buying a work force with lower turnover. I also suspect they're much more selective in who they hire than Walmart. They're making a trade-off. Are they more "generous" to employees, less "niggardly"? Well, to the ones that make their cut, maybe, to the ones Walmart would hire and they wouldn't, no.
Its an enlighten way to do business
I repeat, its a trade-off. The people Walmart would hire but Costco wouldn't don't get the benefit of the enlightenment.
and its why COST has much better employees than WMT.
What do the people who Walmart would hire but Costco won't, do in enlightened Washington? I mean, you do have compassion for them too, don't you?
In fact, most places in WA state are trying to keep out WMT out..........because its acts like a black hole on the community.
Its nice for businesses when the local politicians will keep competitors out. |
