Some days, as soon as she walked in a manager told her to rush to a cash register and start ringing up purchases, without clocking in. Sometimes, she said, she worked for three hours before clocking in.

“They wanted us to do a lot of work for no pay,” said Ms. Richardson, who worked from 1995 to 2000 at a Wal-Mart in southeast Kansas City. “A company that makes billions of dollars doesn’t have to do that.”

Don’t think this is limited to Wal-Mart.

PostNuke Mourns Loss of Lead Developer

Greg Allan a.k.a. Adam_Baum, the lead core developer and one of the four
founding members of the PostNuke CMS Development Project passed away from
injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident. The accident occurred June 16,
2002 near his home in Meaford, Ontario in Canada.

Greg Allan was a humble and personable man who always downplayed his
considerable skills. He was a self-taught coder who contributed to every
aspect of development from cleaning up other people’s code to writing new and
innovative software.

Greg was an invaluable asset to the PostNuke development team, and a dear and
trusted friend and co-worker to people on every continent. Through this first
year of PostNuke’s existence, Greg’s personable and giving nature has been a
guiding light and inspiration to many people and projects that have shaped the
development landscape and social personality of the PostNuke project.

Surviving Greg are his parents, Bob and Leone Allan, his brother Brian, his
girlfriend Kim along with her two children Kristin and Kassandra, his dog
Chevy, and trusted friends Dean and Natasha.
