Cue flashbacks to Walmart buying life insurance for its employees (with Walmart as the beneficiary)...

... and the oh-so-charming way they referred to it at head office: "Dead Peasants Insurance".



It is a derogatory industry term, also called janitor insurance. I can't find a source that says they called it that internally, which I think is relevant to the image being painted.

I did find that winn-dixie (a grocer) insurance consultants did use the term internally. Source: https://www.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/april_19.htm
