Anonymous on Age-Based Termination
“My wife has 25 years at the Wal-Mart warehouse in [LOCATION RETRACTED]. To put it in a nutshell, Wal-Mart is systematically targeting anyone over 40 years of age for firings by assigning the heaviest, most back-breaking jobs to that class of people in the facility. Managers are encouraged to pressure senior employees into quitting and firing to ensure that young strong backs are maintained in the facility. They use a displacement policy to force high senior employees out there preferred jobs to young buck back-breaking jobs. In another words, they have found a way to throw out the old dogs and give them incentive to get out. My wife was the most senior person in her office, and they displaced her despite her seniority and threw her to the sharks.”
