But the pay increase was because of the Trump tax plan, sure


Sam's Club has not said how many employees are losing their jobs. Each Sam's Club warehouse employs about 150 people, meaning close to 10,000 people could be impacted.

In some cases, employees were not told their store had closed before showing up to work on Thursday. Those employees learned their store would be closing when they found the store's doors locked and a notice announcing the closing, according to reports.

Jesus.  These people.  Will there ever be ANY corporation who actually does take their tax bonus (or other government handout) and do something for their employees with it without cutting out other employees? Or is it always going to be a game of publicity? I'm looking at you, AT&T.  And you, Carrier.
The closings came on the same day Walmart announced plans to raise starting hourly wages to $11, expand employee benefits, and offer workers bonuses of up to $1,000.
 And the story was they were doing it because of the extra money they're getting from Trump's tax breaks to corporations.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
