im employed by walmart. the worshiping of Mr. Sam is on another level. Pictures of him up in places of honor, corporate radio station always has "fun facts" about his life and work all the time, the GM constantly mentioning Mr. Sam's "vision", quotes of his in training vids and on the break room wall. it's f-ing batshit

unions are like lawyers, or condoms. if somebody youre dealing with is trying so hard to convince you that you don't need one, it means you *definitely* need one.

Funny how this very pro-union, light-hearted video is age-restricted, while there're no barriers to seeing devastating true crime or explicit bigotry.

On one job I worked, I made a joke about unionizing a few weeks after joining. Everybody laughed. Then the most senior employee told me how I shouldn't joke like that because, in no uncertain terms, talking about unionization would get us all fired.

“Unions are bad because they care about you, at Walmart, we strive to follow Mr. Sam’s vision to not give a shit about you or your livelihood”

Former Wal-Mart employee, one of my favorite training videos is a recent one about workplace shootings to teach employees how to defend themselves within an office space, and it features employees blocking a pull door, and then the shooter pushing on the pull door. I think I received multiple looks when I burst out laughing. Wish it was publicly online.

Ironically enough, most of the American media business is heavyly unionized - including most of the actors. I am certain Walmart made sure that no unionized actors were harmed during the making of this video.

At Home Depot, not only do you get to watch the anti-union video every so often, you get free propaganda TV on all the time in the break room!

It is spoken of that when he, Sam the Radiant One, was born, a triple rainbow encircled the city of Kingfisher, Oklahoma, and a cormorant sang of the glory of the deeds he would do in his life! When he entered school, he was already fluent in English, and began teaching the teachers! After school, he went to college and mastered every single subject in human history, before creating the greatest grocery store chain on Earth, which made every other grocer jealous forever. Also, he didn't have a butthole. That's important for some reason.

Well, this is why Walmart failed in Germany. We want everything to just be on a professional basis, no 'cultlike behaviors' (as it was called in newspapers), cashiers are rather quick than friendly and we sure are gonna unionize if you want to or not. Especially greeders were hated and 'morning motivation' was seen as very weird.

I worked in a union before, and they did take money from my pay... should mention though that thanks to the union, I was payed WELL above the minimum

I'll get a negotiated 10$ an hour raise, if I pay a 1$ an hour due? Clearly that 1$ fee is too outrageous.

I'm in the mason union and I love it. They won't let you do anything unless it's as safe as it can possibly be, we aren't rushed unless we have a huge pour going, but we all know it's go time when that happens. It's fucking amazing. I'm happy to pay a few dollars to the union in exchange for a comfortable, safe place to work. And, despite paying that few dollars, I make way more than any Craigslist labor worker would ever make. The only way I could really make more money by doing this work is starting my own business.

I worked at Wally World for a summer, and the vid they showed me also included “if someone outside the building is talking about unions, report them to your manager immediately”, as if the unionist was going to blow the place up and the manager was the only one who could stop them. Truly insane.

German here, have visited usa on work trips several times. The greeters were amongst the weirdest things there (besides the unspeakably low privacy on every single bathroomstalls due to stupendously large gaps in the toilet door). The role of the greeter always felt so fake to me. It is obvious that the person doing the greeting doesn't want to do it and truly doesn't give a shit about your general presence. And everybody comming through the door just knows that, and doesn't care for it either. Who on earth is convinced that having a greeter is a great idea? All it does (in my eyes) is convey a strong sense of a very, very bad attempt of brainwashing people into feeling appreciated. It makes me squirm inside, this blatant act of insincerity and greed. Great video, guys! Due to the age restriction yt has placed on this video (for whatever reasons), this has been the last video I've bingewatched from this channel. Can't wait for the next one, I love your content!

I'm Norwegian and we can thank our strong unions for so, sooooo much! This video is making me absolutely furious, man. Or boy. Boy Boy.

I remember in high school one of my friends getting written up at Walmart for calling an ambulance for an older lady who was having a seizure (not a grand one, the kind where someone just stops talking mid sentence and can't respond). He had to call himself because management didn't believe him when he reported it, and he got written up because an ambulance was "bad publicity" and "disrupting sales".

The workers really are scared of union representatives. One store was taking steps towards a union meeting, and was completely closed because of it. So, many workers have it in their head that if they spoke to a representative everyone could end up losing their jobs because of it. As far as the “ open door policy” they would say management couldn’t retaliate if people express concerns. However, I’ve seen them pick people apart later, and fire them for meaningless stuff. Everyone knew that wasn’t what it was really about though. At two points during my career there they fired a large amount of people who were close to retirement for petty reasons. I worked as an optician for a long time, and would not recommend it to anyone. It was underpaid, and I ended up personally screwed over so many times. Worked open to close, came in on days off, acted as manager whenever we were without one for up to six months at a time. I’m from a small group of towns with little employment opportunities. Eventually I quit and now drive a super far distance to work in a factory. I don’t regret it at all. Sorry to ramble I guess I just had some stuff to get out lol.

"We' re like a family here" lol, when Walmart tried to set foot in Germany they tried to introduce a guide line that forbade coworkers from hanging out together in private or 'give each other lustful looks, make suggestive jokes or communicate in any way that could be interpreted in a sexual way'. They even had a phone number for employees to snitch on each other

I'm 2 burnouts away from being promoted to stand in the mayonaise isle ! so excited !

"Unions are struggling to survive!" Okay, lady who has been hired specifically to tell me not to join one

"I wish I could rush so I can do more work in my shift" said literally fucking no one ever every single job is a running out the clock situation.

“I love adrenaline, I hate unions” 😂

About the pie toucher, most employees do that in retail. Id say maybe an hour total spread throughout the day as a cashier you spend going up to random shelves in front of store and just slightly adjusting things until they look as neat as possible. There’s even a term for it.

I worked for walmart a decade ago and remember seeing this exact video at orientation. I had no idea what a union did or why they mattered but after seeing this video i was convinced that they were important and i should join one

"Don't give your signature out to anyone." "...now please sign this Employee Contract, This Claims Waiver... and sign here to apply for the Food stamps you will need to survive on what we "pay" you.....And don't forget to sign out at the end of your shift so we can legally stop paying you although we'll sack you if you don't spend at least 30mins "finishing up" afterwards."

I hate when big anti union companies pretend their employees are one big happy family when they actively discourage too much bond building between employees because it leads to unionising

"As someone that has a disregard for safety and enjoys that, i enjoyed it" yeah, i think that was pretty clear with almost every video in the I did a thing channel...

"We have a great thing going here" Why did that sound like an abuser trying to manipulate their victim? Ah. Because it is

In order to be free, all it takes is to follow the rules of big Sam!!

I find it incredible that they manage to convince even a single employee to be against unions. "Hey employees, you know what you don't want? To be part of a group that has the power to get you higher pay and more fair working conditions!". People don't make labor unions when they are happy with their pay and working conditions, and the only cons to a labor union are to the business and potentially its customers - none of the cons are for the employees. And if you are earning minimum wage and working dumb hours in unsafe conditions, you shouldn't really care if your employer makes less profit, or the customers end up paying more - the employer should make less profit or charge more for their product/service if they can't make that profit or charge the prices they do while not paying their employees properly, or making them work in bad conditions.

I don't know why KZfaq is hiding your channel. I searched "Boy Boy" the and everything else showed up except your channel. Luckily i am subscribed so i found it in my subscriptions list.

I love how they talk about job security in Walmart. A supermarket, where they have the highest employee circulation around.

Bro craziest thing ever, I AM THE GUY IN THE THUMBNAIL!!! i worked at Wal-mart a couple years ago and was put in one of the Wally magazines without me knowing lol I used to work in the garden center, the black lady in the thumbnail was my old supervisor... such a small world. I think they have me in a picture in a corvette inside the store aswell. Honestly just stumbled across "I did a Thing"'s main channel and loved it so i thought i check out this channel and i see my face on a thumbnail xD blew my mind and made my night.

“Union trying to hurt my company” lol Lady, I don’t own the company. The company pays me every day to show up and do the bare minimum to meet expectations. I don’t care if the company’s profit margin goes from 6% to 5% if I get paid more.

My sister worked at Walmart. At one point, there were rumors that the deli workers wanted to unionize. Suddenly, the deli was closed for a few months for renovation. They don't play around w/ the union talk.

Work in a grocery store that's very open to working with the local union. We're nearly constantly getting bonuses and they renegotiate starting wages and wage increases quite regularly. Bonuses aren't anything crazy but they definitely help and are appreciated. It barely even costs anything in dues either. I only every pay about 20 dollars a month to the union and I get free dental work and life insurance out of it. Among other things

"The ussr crumbled because they didn't have a mayo Ile " ~Sam Walton

I hope one day I can find someone who's as loyal to me as Aleksa is to his Ribena shirt🍇

"We really pull together and look out for our customers and each other" Absolutely inspirational. Such a united group of employees.

I liked you guys before, but i have to say that i like you guys even more after seeing this channel lmao.

"under socialism, you'll have people doing useless jobs to maintain full employment!" my job under capitalism: *constantly touching pies*

Union membership had plummeted in recent years, while wealth inequality is at an all time high, Thank You Wal Mart

The moment when you realize that two famous comics are actually based human beings.

I worked at a walmart in the us for 3 months, and it was all this but worse. I still can't believe the VR workplace shooting training. 20 years ago and that would be the opening to a dystopian novel.

I used to work at Home Depot- every other month had mandatory anti-union training. A couple of guys would joke about “saying the U word”. If you think Walmart’s labor treatment was bad, Home Depot would pile unfinished work on random people. Jimmy quit last week? John’s gotta do twice the work. Now John quit? Well, Bob’s get a triple workload now

I showed one of my friends this video just now, and before I moved a few years ago, one of our favorite things to do together was watching old training videos on youtube and just make fun of them and how fucking weird they were, This video made me and her reminiscence about inside jokes that bring us to tears from those videos that no one else will ever possibly understand, so thanks for that lol. This is way more nostalgic for me than it probably should be, but I'm okay with that.

As a Canadian living in Nova Scotia sadly I do not work at Walmart. But I do go to work feeling fear everyday due to tree removal, so Walmart isn’t that much adrenaline.

glad y'all brought this channel back

I think we can all collectively send Aleksa money to buy another shirt

We’re all family here at Walmart! Our loving father Mr.Sam gives us gifts everyday!

Oh boy! One boy needs a new shirt! For real, why is he a grape.

You, fellow American, now you have the duty to cast this video on a Walmart TV next to you.

I watched this when I was working at Walmart out of high school, still as WTF as when I had seen it originally.

I imagine the point of the stock purchase plan is to force their employees to inflate the companies value

i think i lasted 6 months at walmart before I got fired after having a mental breakdown from the stress LMAO super fun 10/10

I also enjoy having a slight disregard for workplace health and safety, best part of the job I did was when we had an impromptu jousting tournament using pallet jacks as steeds and spears/shovels as lances.

The most ironic thing is that every Actor and Writer is part of a union. So the people making these anti-union videos have more secure jobs and work because of the thing they're pretending to hate.

when a company says the work is "flexibile" what it means is you're gonna get a shit contract with inconsistent hours where the company can randomly cut your hours at any time to save money and fuck you over

As a current UAW member i believe unions are a good thing in certain areas. Wal Mart and Amazon need to unionize

LETSS GOOOOO THEY STILL UPLOAD ON HERE

The look of fear and confusion when he said “just for mayonnaise?” will never not be hilarious

i worked as a stocker/backroom associate at walmart for four months before it was too much. among all sorts of other bad things, higher management would always get on you for not doing enough and being too slow etc, and then you'd see those same people disappear and find out from a coworker they just quit on the spot lmao. also the mayo aisle had not just mayo but ketchup, mustard, and salad dressing n shit as well. america's insane but we're not entire-aisle-stocked-with-mayo insane LOL

The worst shit was when management would make us do the "walmart cheer". It felt like some sort of ritualistic capitalist chant we were reciting to summon the spirit of Sam Walton to bust unions and exploit prison labor.

FYI the dude touching the pies was probably ordered to do that. In target it’s called “zoning” which involves moving objects to the front of the shelf to make them more appealing to customers…and yes it’s a total waste of time.

I just imagined that video clip meme of all the Vin Diesel look-alikes droning "Family. Family. Family.", I would just super-impose Walmart blue aprons on them :)

yea i used to work at a target and there was a armed robbery ofc i was still marked late for not clocking out

How is it even legal to even mention that unions are bad as an employer. That is so bizarre to me, how is it accepted? Unions are a purely positive thing for the workers. Wild.

Very cool flag in the background!! Viva Cuba!

I used to be a union worker BAHAHAHAH! now i'm a corporate slave 😀

Not Melissa from Teen Wolf (TV Series) acting as a Walmart recruiter 😭

Great video guys. I'm sending it to my sister in law who works for Zara to see if they do the same thing.

The ironic part is all those actors were almost 100% in actors unions.

k the whiplash woman is Melissa Ponzio, like a proper actress who has probably never worked for walmart before. she’s literally in an acting union and has benefited from that since she was doing old shitty walmart training videos to new shitty mtv shows. bonkers

I love how they were joking about how they don't need a union because they're actors pretending to be Walmart workers.... When those actors probably actually had a union unlike the Walmart workers they were playing.

Mr Walton always says he has our interest at heart Mr Walton says he has a plan Mr Wilton will save us At this company we’re a family

They are underrated

WHY AM I ONLY FINDING OUT ABOUT THIS CHANNEL NOWWW

Used to work here and I'm so excited to go through this with these guys.

it was way too hard and took me way too long to find this channel... I love your boy's work!

Also worth mentioning that the actors in these videos are almost certainly part of one or more acting unions

I used to work for Walmart a few years ago, and the videos they had had acting similar to the acting in a hostage situation. It was like the actors were being held at gunpoint, and told to act happy or their families would be killed.

For some reason, KZfaq is asking me to verify my age on this video, with an actual bank card or ID. I will never willingly submit to this, so I thought, "Hey, why not tell the two boys about this, and maybe they could try to figure out why I, as a member of the EU, are told I have to legally verify my age by KZfaq just to watch one of your videos. I could see the North Korean video just fine, though. Even the dead children. So it's not really a "working" system for protecting children, as much as it is an "annoying" cunt of a mistake.

Last time I was in a Walmart it was during Christmas and I realized they had like their own radio station where instead of ads they cheerily suggested things to buy. I've experienced these before in other stores but for soem reason this felt more dystopian

I love the content guys. As a Boy boy associate I would recommend some sounds proofing triangles because the audio can be difficult to listen to due to an echo

Most likely those actors are all in a union. Being an actor in California requires you to be in a union

I didnt know you guys had so many videos before the haircut one. So much great content. Keep rockin'!

Contrary to Walmarts popular belief, unions are actually pretty dope.

the return of Boy Boy

my favorite part was when they said flexible and friendly hours, when I worked there in highschool they would schedule me for 2:30 and I wouldn't get out of school until 3:30 and when I would show up let I'd be penalized and get yelled at.

I work as a walmart cashier and i hear the horrible *beep**beep**beep* of scanning items in my nightmares

As a union worker at UPS the most inconvenient rule I have to deal with are that I need to face ladders while going down them and maintain 3 points of contact, even on the 2 step "ladders" that go up to the walkway before the trailers. Which I get, it's a safety thing, I just kinda wish for something that small they'd just make steps so it doesn't qualify as a ladder and we can get through quicker. Other than that the only thing that kinda sucks sometimes is that I'm not allowed to work through my break. So yeah, unions are soooooo baaaaaad for workers... Toooooootally not just Walmart trying to convince workers they don't need a union to protect them from Walmart exploiting them.

I miss the good ol days of union busting, when you could gun down foundry workers asking for heat resistant gloves or break all the limbs of a 14 hour shift working mother needing a 50 cent raise. What happened to patriotism?!

What's funny is the actors in this anti union Walmart ad..... Are part of the actors union or screen actors guild

Every job I've had started out with at least an hour or two talk about why unions are bad. "Because here at ________ we're a family, and families take care of each other. You wouldnt let some stranger interfer with your family would you?" Exact quote.

Anti-union behaviour in Italy would lead to a enormous fine, and the company could be closed

Wtf, that's the mum from Teen Wolf at 17:06

The videos main purpose was a non thinly veiled threat to you being fired. It was even in their tag line on your "career". It came up many times. The two fears the staff have are "dues" and "fired". Dues being absolutely worth it is easily discredited. So they accentuate the fact that the store will break the law to fire unionising workers and shut down stores "no longer profitable because of unions" (I.e. to send a message).

In Michigan we voted on a "Right to Work" law which let people elect to pay union dues or not but they'd have to be protected by the union either way. It was some roundabout union busting bullshit and we voted it down. 3 months later our Republican governor put in place right to work by an executive order or some shit. I was at the protests afterwards. 20k people surrounding the state capital. Teamsters came up from Ohio. Ultimately made no difference.

Not even a few months ago I was forced to do death by power point at my shitty ghetto convenience store job. “Unions r bad n stuff!” I barely absorbed any of the information and used common sense. It’s insane how these companies describe themselves as friendly but in all reality they don’t offer even reasonable accommodation or opportunity for raises. To them a raise is 25-50 cents every year or whatever. While my store has no ‘cult leader’ the individuals are often very full of themselves making a sort of localized cult. It’s a weird feeling to describe and they often have unrealistic expectations for new workers. As if by day 5 I should know the store better than I know every nook and cranny of my body. Truly machine like.
