Description
In 1962 Sam Walton conceived his business plans for his forthcoming Wal-Mart stores. His publicly-stated plan was to "save people money to help them live better." But, to accomplish his goals it was necessary for him to: drive America's businesses out of business, America's work force out of jobs, and manufacturers out of America. This was his private plan, and attesting to the unprecedented sucess of this plan are the more than 9,665 Wal-Marts in the marketplace today. Wal-Mart's EGOnomics-Always- The Greed Behind the Smiley Face, describes my nearly seven-years of living life as a Wal-Mart vendor. During this time I experienced their unrelenting greedy and ruthless ways of doing business. And, because they employed such vicious tactics, I kept records of each and everyone of our interactions. As a result I compiled more than 11,000 pages of court-room documents plus innumerable tape recordings. it was this documentation that supported our filing of a $40 million lawsuit that alleged "breach of contracts and corporate sabotage." And it was this same documentation upon which this book is based.
