They've replaced the Henry Ford Policy ("pay people enough to afford your product") with the Wal-Mart Policy ("keep people poor enough that they can't afford anything but your product").
At least Wal-Mart "cares" enough to keep people from having to work more than 39 hours a week, and all those annoying benefits that come from working more than 39 hours a week.

This is a sign of the times. Too bad they can't learn from Henry Ford when he declared the $5 a day wage in 1914. He was also the first to institute the 5 day 40 hour week in 1926.
How quickly we forget people.

Ugh.
Good catch! It seems more and more HR people are in the business of trying to trick people into slave labor.
I'm liking my current job even more!
