Do the employees want Wal-Mart cheating against them like many of them might on their availability slips? Wal-Mart must consider Descartes’ rule of change.   While the new scheduling system may bring only small changes now, what happens if the corporation continues making similar small changes to the detriment of its employees?   What will those incremental changes do to the employees’
