> Walmart said the primary use of the phone is for its new employee app called Me@Walmart, which the company explained in a release is meant to "simplify daily tasks, serve our customers and plan for life outside of work."
Not quite the same thing as "free". This is going to remove "I don't have a smartphone" as an argument against being monitored in various ways by your employer.
That’s a creepy statement. Maybe I’m reading too much into it but I’m imagining shift workers using the app to clock in and out, short notice shift changes and split shifts, all now easily organised to plan for for your life outside of work.
