Doug McMillon has 23.6 million reasons to be thankful this year

Dear Friend,


Doug McMillon has 23.6 million reasons to be thankful this year.

And that’s because last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon took home:

  • A base salary of over $1 million,
  • Stock awards worth more than $15.5 million, and
  • Approximately $7 million in incentive payments and other income, bringing his total fiscal year compensation to $23.6 million

But here are some side dishes that likely won’t be on McMillon’s Thanksgiving table:  

  • No holiday pay for any of the 1.1 million hourly Walmart workers (Walmart eliminated holiday pay in 2016)
  • No employer-provided health insurance for the approximately 500,000 part-time Walmart workers*
  • No paid parental leave – maternity or paternity – for the approximately 500,000 part-time Walmart workers*
  • Ranking second to last among top department & discount stores and dead last among top supermarkets in the U.S. last year in customer satisfaction according to a February 2019 American Customer Satisfaction Index report. The report points out that a major reason for poor customer service in the retail industry is higher employee turnover, as more experienced and better-qualified employees find higher-paying jobs.


So, join us in sending Walmart CEO a “No Thank You” card this year.
