Thread regarding Walmart layoffs

WMT HOMEOFFICE layoffs started 7/29/2020

All ares are affected. Exec changes last year signaled deep changes to occur. People division, supply chain and others. Product org (created a couple years ago) let entire teams go. Fast agile development just came to a screeching halt.

From what I could see tech wasn't affected at all.

@1vmb You forgot the member's only spa and gym to release all the stress from all these lay-off's, the member's only bar to regale each other of all the hard work they do and the member's only gentlemen's club to really unwind.

So we lost a few people? So what? At least the company is still investing millions and millions of dollars to redesign the entire HO campus. I do hope they put in a golf course to help John Fuhrner deal with the stress of terminating countless long term employees to save a few bucks and pad his bonus.

Merch Ops always seems to be the targeted during big layoffs.

Hundreds let go from Merch Ops (previously aligned to Merchandising) in mod/space, replenishment, and their support teams. Looks like all the hourlies (N28 level) and a bunch from the CMDM level (84). It’s a “working lay-off”, so associates must keep working to keep their “severance” until Jan 31.

Does anyone know if the department handling store remodels was effected?

Wait until they announce merchandising and merch support. Word is that will be a doozy.
