I've met people who have escaped cults. Inside the collective, you think you are happy meanwhile your life is being drained from you to feed the machine keeping you down. When I see these organizations, Apple with its products, Walmart in this case, hell even sports teams to a minor extent, try to create an identity around themselves, I see the cult escapees. I also know a few managers at Walmarts, they are paid roughly local median for managerial staff, and they seem to like it. I've not yet met a front line person working at Walmat who liked the experience. And I understand the fallacy of "the plural anecdote is not data."
