Bloomberg: Wal-Mart Execs See Slow Start in February

1 min read

Bloomberg’s gotten ahold of some internal Wal-Mart emails that show executives unhappy by a slow sales start in February. How slow? Well …

“In case you haven’t seen a sales report these days, February MTD sales are a total disaster,” Jerry Murray, Wal-Mart’s vice president of finance and logistics, said in a Feb. 12 e-mail to other executives, referring to month-to-date sales. “The worst start to a month I have seen in my ~7 years with the company.”

Ew. The slow economy and the end of the payroll tax holiday are hitting hard. Bloomberg has more on the stiff headwinds here.
