A rogue Walmart employee used the store's intercom to make an announcement – that he was quitting and no one should work there.

Jackson Racicot, 17, posted a video of the announcement at a store in Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada, the Edmonton Journal reported. He quit the store last week.

WARNING: VIDEO CONTAINS EXPLICIT LANGUAGE


“Attention all shoppers, associates and management. I would like to say to all of you today that nobody should work here – ever,” Racicot began.

He continued saying the managers didn’t keep their promises and didn’t care about their employees.

“But about a month ago my boss, assistant manager Cora, called me a waste of time and management did nothing to help,” Racicot continued.

He claimed the store cut back on an unnamed employee’s benefits and said management will “try and save money every step of the way."

“I’ve been a loyal employee here for over a year-and-a-half and I’m sick of all the bull----, bogus write-ups and my job,” he continued.

He concluded by cursing out management, the job and Walmart itself.

People were heard cheering as Racicot hung up the phone and walked away.

Racicot told the Star Edmonton he handed his resignation letter to his boss before making his announcement. He told the media outlet he posted the video because he wanted people to boycott Walmart. He said many Walmart employees have reached out to him to tell him of their experiences.

He didn’t expect the video to go viral but said he hoped to raise awareness to other companies on how they should treat their employees.

“Don’t be treating your employees as if you own them, if they are your property. Don’t think to throw them around,” Racicot told the Star Edmonton.

Walmart told the Edmonton Journal that they were aware of the video.

“We are aware of the video circulating online and are disappointed by this incident. Respect for all individuals including our associates and customers is a core value at Walmart,” the company said in a statement. “We are looking into this matter and will address it internally as required.”

Walmart told Fox News that the company was looking into the incident and would follow up when they have more information.

Wal-mart is an employee burner. I know a manager...ex manager, that told me a lot about how they operate. Huge turnover, crazy hours, understaffed, and above all, moronic customers.

I went to Wal-Mart today for Charcoal and Weed Killer (Eliminator Wal-Mart Brand, Roundup knock-off), every employee looked dreadfully miserable. True Story.

I write it off as a local/regional issue.....the HUGE local Wally world down the street about 4 miles seems stable enough, we go there a minimum of once a week, always the same crew.....

Same here I see more and more little snot nosed kids that think they deserve something for nothing. They will never change always wanting more than they need and die in debt just trying to impress others.

Jackson Racicot, 17,

why do 17 year olds think that other people are interested in their judgements? He prolly still lives with 'rents (and trying to get them to co-sign a loan for a

Mustang).

I don't know, he could still have a future in politics or car sales.

But if they did treat the way he implies, there is plenty of bad behavior to pass around.

You never know when you will cross paths with coworkers again

perfect example....
Right out of high school ( 1978 ) I did rough carpentry for about 18 months. One of my coworkers, "Joe" was always flinging nails and small pieces of wood towards me.

I had gotten a job as an Ironworker and was in charge of the miscellaneous side of the shop ( small parts, odd shaped pieces plus stairs and railings ). We had plenty of work and had an ad in the newspaper for a helper. The job paid $11.85 a hour when the min wage was $3.35 (1982)

"Joe" came in for an interview and acted like he was my long lost best friend. I remembered how he was before and chose somebody else for the job.

Can't trust their accuracy on anything.
