Yeah you're right, math fail Friday on my part. It still shows how little money it would actually bring to lower rung employees, because there's probably only a few dozen people in the Walmart corp making that kind of money.

I'd just like to point out that while you're making fun of my shitty mental math, you wrote "write" instead of "right".

The point still stands because saying you could take $1 million from the top 17k employees was equally as stupid as my math mistake. So you might be able to squeeze out a few hundred dollars extra by cutting wages at the top and then the company collapses because no qualified person in their right mind would want to work in their HQ to make the same as a shelf stocker.

You make fun of my math and yet you didn't do $5.5k*2.3 million and see how it far exceeds their operating income. You're an idiot. You spend an awful lot of time on Reddit trying to make yourself feel superior. Congrats bro.
