As a business they sometimes have to make tough decisions including downsizing in whichever areas are not doing well. Sam's Club would be one of those.

The increase for the nation's largest private employer also comes amid political pressure to bolster minimum wages. The big-box store chain has more than 1 million U.S. hourly employees. Today, we are building on investments weve been making in associates, in their wages and skills development, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said in a statement. Its our people who make the difference and we appreciate how they work hard to make every day easier for busy families. The wage increase will take effect in February. Walmart said the one-time bonuses would cost the company $400 million and will be based on the length of service. Employees who have worked for at least 20 years will get the full $1,000. The company is also boosting its paid maternity leave policy for full-time hourly workers to 10 weeks and increasing its paid paternity leave policy to six weeks. Walmart also said it would offer financial help to employees who are seeking to adopt children. Most of that was already or was going to be put in place WELL before the Tax Cuts ever legislated / signed. It was already in the pipeline for the workers to get those benefits... but with the passing of these Trump Tax Cuts, the Walmart execs (and other companies) are making the (very smart) pr move to wrap up these benefits (again, they were ALREADY on the way to their employees / already implemented) as "Gifts Thanks to the Trump Tax Cuts". It's basically giving someone their birthday gift on Xmas day... instead of getting both a Xmas gift and a Birthday Gift ~ you just got one (an relatively cheap one at that). --- Gift of the SILVER TONGUE.
