Walmart employee fired after trying to help assault victim in store parking lot

There are definitely some "jackwagons" in the "Upper Management" of the Wally World Organization. This employee seems to know what to do when it comes to giving "customer service".

If this story is true, wow. Just wow. Maybe the Michigan Standard is a little different than ours. Or the Walmart standard...

Unfortunately the world of HR is filled with Liberal Turds. If I were that guy's manager I would have bought him a gift card and said thank you for not just watching it unfold. Heck, if he were 21 I'd buy him a beer after work.

I understand why corporate America has policies in place. They have their attorneys review policies and assist in writing new ones that do everything to prevent any possible loss to the company. Unfortunately it ends up screwing some employees that care about others in the process.

Wouldn't be a surprise to me, even defending yourself Is grounds for immediate termination of employment. It seems as though wallyworld Employees have no right to self defense.

Now if Academy would take EBT cards for blammo...

No doubt Walmart is in the wrong here. Not much else to cover, maybe we can help the guy get a job?

I don't agree with the decision to fire the guy, but I understand why he was terminated. He is not a Police Officer and he is not a Security Officer. Had he been seriously hurt it would open the door for Walmart being held liable for his injuries. He did what most people consider the right thing, but in the eyes of the business it was wrong.

Amen to that.

I can see why Walmart would be upset as this could be a serious work comp issue but OMG firming him they are freaking idiots!!!!!
