Wal-Mart: I Don’t Belong Here is the first memoir by someone who lived Wal-Mart, not a journalist pretending to be an employee. This is an unflinching look at bungling management, wildly incompetent corporate rules, violence, sadness, and sometimes…redemption.
If you love, or even hate, Wal-Mart, this book is the truest account of what it is like to not only work at Wal-Mart, but answers the question you may be asking: Why do people work at Wal-Mart?
