That’s because Wal-Mart, the largest retailer in the US, maintains a dedicated team of ex-spies and former federal agents to police its own staff.
So far, its crack team of former officials from the Central Intelligence Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigations have dug up information that has led to the firing of a high-profile board member who used company funds to buy hunting equipment, two senior advertising executives who took expensive gifts from a potential supplier and a computer technician who taped a reporter’s telephone calls.
Mr Kenneth Senser, a former top official at the CIA and FBI who runs Wal-Mart’s security department, said the company is determined to enforce its employment policies, no matter how senior those involved are. [VIN]
