Wal-Mart employee who was left brain damaged in a car wreck is losing $417k in awarded damages.
Wal-Mart employee who was left brain damaged in a car wreck is losing $417k in awarded damages.
Because of a clause in Wal-Mart's insurance program that lets them take the money from her.
That was money that was supposed to support her now that she is forced to stay in a home for the disabled. picked by coldbladed 7 months ago

That money is just a drop in the bucket for Wal-Mart. I agree with the win-win, Mr. Shank talks about. Be the "bigger man" and keep your court win but let them keep the money so he can care for his wife. Just because Wal-Mart "reserves the right" to recoup doesn't mean they have to.

Thats a good idea, I have been doing my best to avoid them when I learned that their CEO's make, on average, over 800 times what a regular employee makes.

However, the fact is that most companies have a similar gap between CEO's and the regular employee, its a problem that has been multiplied in the last couple years especially. I try and shop at small local stores as much as possible, but that doesn't accomplish much especially when many of the products that they are purchasing come from major corporations, many of whom have moved their operations over-seas where the gap is even more ridiculous (in China I believe its something like 50,000 to 1).

Its like the second richest man in the word, Warren Buffet said "If there's class warfare going on in America, then my class is winning"

It's so much about nothing. The world of big business is beyond our "I hate Wal-Mart" crap. Face it, all we can do is b!tch...because we are their b!tch.

It's not just Walmart, big business the world over are the same.

They care for nothing but the bottom line on their financial statements.

This poor family is resigned to a deteriorating life of mediocrity die to the greed of this corporate giant.

It's a sad world we live in these days where compassion is often tempered by commercialism.
