In a move that will effect nearly every Wal-Mart employee…
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (NYSE:WMT – news) will start moving many of its 1.3 million workers from predictable shifts to a system based on how many customers are in stores at a given time, The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.
Wal-Mart will start making the changes this year with the help of a new computerized scheduling system, the paper said.
The move promises more productivity and consumer satisfaction, but could demand more flexibility and availability from workers in place of reliable shifts and predictable pay checks, the Journal reported.
Can you imagine what this will do? Instead of living “predictable paycheck to reliable paycheck”, people will be living “unpredictable paycheck to maybe paycheck”
