To Whom It May Concern:


I was an employee at the Walmart store located at 6210 Annapolis Road Landover Hills, MD 20784 (301) 773-7848. As of September 20, 2008, I had been employed there for a total of fourteen and a half months.

The reason I am writing this letter is because I believe that the disrespectful behavior of staff toward employees and customers should be investigated. The store manager, Emmanuel Gilliam speaks to his staff in such a disrespectful way that shocked me to the core. I couldn’t believe it. As I searched the internet in an attempt to locate the Walmart corporate information, I stumbled on many online reports of how Walmart had treated some of their former managers, employees and customers. Much of that information can be found here: http://www.complaintsboard.com/?search=Walmart

Just recently I was terminated from Walmart by Manager, Andrea Lloyd just for asking a question during a meeting. After that I was assaulted by two employees right in front of her while she stood and did nothing. I have contacted The Global Ethics Helpline at 1-800-WM-ETHIC who are in the process of launching an investigation against her as well as the store for the following: ETHICS POLICY VIOLATION. EMPLOYEE ASSAULT, HARASSMENT, PERSONAL INJURY DURING THE ASSAULT, WRONGFUL TERMINATION AND CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATIONS. There are many other employees there who are afraid to speak up for themselves for fear of retaliation by Miss Lloyd as well as other higher ups.

I ask that you please let our surrounding communities know the type of mean spirited individuals who are disrespecting our children, sisters, mothers, brothers and fathers. Their claim is to help family and community, but they have done more harm than good. The only thing they've been doing is stealing money from the people in these communites. Former Manager Larry Winick stole large sums of money from this same Walmart store and was never prosecuted for his crime. Now every other local Walmart store has received bonuses except for the one in Landover Hills. We don't know why because the employees are afraid to ask in fear of retaliation. I believe that enough is enough.

When it comes to Walmart, customer service has now become a mythical entity.


Respectfully,


Frederick A. Murphy
