![yveinthesky-deactivated20190127 Every time I read up on why Walmart failed in Germany again I am massively entertained. I can recommend it to everyone. Google "Why Walmart failed in Germany". Hours of entertainment. blackestsabbath One issue was the chanting. Walmart employees are required to start their shifts by engaging in group chants and stretching exercises, a practice intended to build morale and instill loyalty. Fiendish as it sounds, Walmart employees are required to stand in formation and chant, "WALMART! WALMART! WALMART!" while performing synchronized group calisthenics. mariesbookblog this is literally the most hilarious thing ever This is exactly what happened to Wal-Mart Germany. To begin with, it appointed four CEOs during its first four years of operation. The first was Rob Tiarks, a US citizen and a Wal-Mart, Inc. senior vice president who had previously supervised around 200 US Supercenters from the company headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas. Not only did he not speak any German. Due to his unwillingness to learn the language - a view shared by most of the other US managers that were redeployed to Germany to assist him -, English was soon decreed as the official company language at the management level. seriously what even So far Wal-Mart Germany has not succeeded in delivering on the second part of its value proposition - "excellent customer service" - either. By contrast the company has repeatedly been rated as only just or even slightly below average in terms of overall consumer satisfaction (Table 7).67 In our view, this is because Wal-Mart's traditional US-centered view of customer service, enshrined in some of its famous/notorious basic beliefs and rules, is only partly compatible with the expectations of German consumers. This is in particular true the famous "ten- foot-rule" ("three-meter-rule" in metric Germany) and the institution of the "greeter" (which, in the meantime, have been largely abolished after shoppers unaware of its key role in Wal-Mart's service concept had repeatedly complain- ed that they had been harassed by strangers on store premises). While yielding i'm laughing so f------ hard 'harassed by strangers' i can't stop laughing i'm reading a 30 page paper on this and it's hilarious (in case you're curious: https:// thetimchannel.files.wordpress.com/ 2012/11/w024.pdf) vallisagarwaen this is still so f------ funny, I can't get over this. never. M psychoanthrowalker needed integrator. According to headhunters Wal-Mart Germany's is widely consider- ed to be a very unattractive employer, with around one third of its executives- store managers upwards-actively secking job offers from other companies.

But because the German ferguswyrm My favorite part was how walmart did that thing where they get a bunch of people to work a long part time shift, but just short enough to not be full time, thinking they could avoid giving employees healthcare. It turns out you can't do that in Germany, so they had to give healthcare to way more employees than if they had just hired people to full time positions. libertarirynn You know if you're going to open a business in another country I might help to know a few damn things about that country's culture, business practices, and laws.OBJ karagordon they also tried to forbid employees from dating each other and a judge had to tell them that their employees personal lives are none of their business Imao #crapitalism 145,325 notes A t]](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/002/643/504/d88.jpeg "wall...nut?")
