Walmart Less Justin Bieber: Walmart Wants Employees To Stay By Playing Less Bieber And Celine Dion

There's little doubt that the "Baby" singer is one of the most hated people in the world, loved primarily by teenage girls and talk show hostess Ellen DeGeneres, so now, as the biggest supermarket chain in the U.S. promises better working conditions for their employees, one of the conditions is Walmart less Justin Bieber music.

After a series of employees requested to the company's headquarters for Walmart less Justin Bieber music, the executives have finally caved in by promising their staff to play less music featuring the former YouTube star and now tween idol.

According to Billboard, Walmart less Justin Bieber became trending following a shareholder meeting with the top execs in the company, when Mike Moore, the executive VP of supercenters, announced that following their employees' feedback they'd be changing up the tunes at their stores to feature less music by two Canadian love-them-or-hate-them singers: Bieber and Céline Dion.

The Week reports that the Walmart less Justin Bieber announcement is part of a grander project to better the working conditions of their employees, as the company (which is also America's biggest employer) is also providing better wages for their new workers.

According to Fortune, the move towards Walmart's less Justin Bieber music happened after the top U.S. Walmart execs met with 3,000 employees in Fayetteville, Arkansas, to survey them about what they'd like to improve in their work environment, as the company makes a major effort to motivate their workers for them to make a career in the supermarket chain - which is already costing them an extra $1 billion.

For the workers' and the customers' peace of mind, the supermarket chain is bringing back Radio Walmart, with an actual DJ keeping playlists fresh instead of playing the same CDs a thousand times over, which caused the Bieber-Dion endless loop in the first place.

Other new changes for the benefit of workers include bettering the thermostats in-store and loosening dress codes.

While the Walmart less Justin Bieber move might seem like a small step, it's meant to show that the company's execs are really listening to their employees' requests.
