This takes the cake, Wal-Mart siding with the bully and fires the employee????

Walmart employee fired after trying to help assault victim in store parking lot

HARTLAND, MI (WXYZ) - "The last thing I expected was to not have a job," said Kristopher Oswald, 30, who was fired from Walmart this week after he intervened to help a woman who was apparently being assaulted in the parking lot of the store.

It happened around 2:30 a.m. outside the Walmart store in the Livingston County town of Hartland.

Oswald, who worked stocking pet food on the overnight shift at Walmart, was spending his lunch break in his car when he heard a woman screaming and a man hanging onto the hood of her car.

At first, Oswald wondered if it was just people horsing around recklessly, but when he walked over to see if the woman was really in danger, he says the man began to attack him, punching him in the head while yelling "I'm going to kill you".

The company fired Oswald and the reason given on his termination papers states: "after a violation of company policy on his lunch break, it was determined to end his temporary assignment".

Oswald only began working for Walmart about seven weeks ago and would not have been considered a permanent hire until a 180-day probation period ended.

Its not wal-mart's fault - there are Aholes in every aspect of society and it just so happened this guys supervisor was one as well.

As a fatter of fact, now that I think about it - I can only remember one job I had where my boss was a decent human being, and that was when I worked at McDonalds.

Have to agree with you there not all bosses are bad.
But ultimately the store manager got involved after the media took this viral so hopefully he got his job back and took his bosses position and the ahole is now on the street :whistling:

We can only wish right

I have to mention here the two bosses out of many I had worth mentioning; both are on my facebook list. One I don't hear from too often but the other I never lost contact with since 97 and he and I are like brothers.

I don't shop there because it's a place that generally treats people disrespectfully. Here they don't pay them well either. FB
