Managers who cannot improve same-store sales year-overyear are fired, demoted or publicly shamed. [fact]

Managers who cannot improve same-store sales year-overyear are fired, demoted or publicly shamed. The majority of Walmart's many labour violations in its retail stores stem from local managers cutting corners in the hopes of meeting the ever-rising demands of Bentonville (Gogoi 2007a; Greenhouse 2004; Greenhouse and Barbaro 2005; Greenhouse and Barbaro 2006, 26–28), which usually allows Walmart to externalize blame and punishment.
