Who says that Walmart doesn’t care about their employees? BerkeleyPC has just learned that Walmart purchases life insurance for its employees. From the highest level manager to the janitor, life insurance is purchased for you when you go to work there.
I know what you’re thinking, what’s the catch right? Such cynicism….. Have you ever thought that maybe they aren’t as evil as people say they are?
Well then certainly they must require employees to pay at least half of the premium? Nope, not one red cent! And, they don’t even require you to sign up for it. Just by becoming a Walmart employee you are immediately enrolled.
Sound too good to be true? Ok, there is one little, tiny snag with the whole thing. Walmart gets to pick the beneficiary. Yep, they decide who gets the reward when you mysteriously kick the bucket. So while they could put it in the name of say… your next of kin… that appears to not really be happening. In fact as far as BerkeleyPC can determine, Walmart is the beneficiary on 100% of the life insurance policies they purchase. 
Now if you currently work at Walmart and you receive a bad review and/or a reprimand along with the threat that you need to clean up your act or face termination, you might want to respond by asking: “What do you mean by that?”
But if you’re looking for suggestions we recommend that you change your identity and sneak off to another country. I mean do you really think they would tell you that they were planning on collecting on your policy? Probably not!
