>> How many wallyworld employees can achieve that career path success? No, not everyone can achieve that level of success. That's life. But everyone who works for that company gets a reasonably good chance to rise through the ranks, if they're up to the job and willing to stick around. No sensible business hands out better paying jobs to people who both lack specific skills and aren't committed to the company. You might get by with one or the other, but if you have neither attribute you're not going to be successful anywhere. Going back to my two friends -- the one who did NOT make VP is about 58 and has been very comfortably retired for several years. He was a high school graduate, no college, and ended up managing several stores. Where else do people get that kind of opportunity? This argument that Walmart doesn't pay high enough wages is just a product of left wing egalitarianism, and is Koan-styled nonsense. If they weren't paying wages that are high enough, by definition they wouldn't have the number of employees they need to open the doors in the morning.
