Thread regarding Wal-Mart Stores Inc. layoffs

IDS Layoffs

I know this may be a long shot but I wanted to see if someone can share what they know about IDS layoffs. It's my understanding that we may be hit on Wednesday January 25th, that's the rumor that's circling around, I'd say it's 50% possible. There is a lot of anxiety, people are expecting something, and typically when that's the case, things do not end up well.

Anyhow, thank you all who are sharing info here - I know some people do not care and they are like 'whatever' but for us who really depend on this income and are in positions/areas where it's hard to find an equivalent jobs, we have to worry as it affects our livelihood (especially if you have family to support like I do)

Thank you

What's IDS? Do you means ISD?

To a statement earlier, yes there are ISD folks who know about this page- how many, I don't know... we've been told no more layoffs will happen but who truly knows. I check this site multiple times a day cause you can't trust management- mainly cause they don't have all the details either.

What I would like to see is doing the RIFs like pulling off a band-aid. Just do it. In one day. Not spreading it over weeks. This waiting game is causing undo stress and anxiety for far too many people. How many people are not eating or sleeping over this? Whose work performance is being impacted? It's hard not to just turn it off and focus on your tasks like managers tell us to do.

Do people at ISD even know about this page? Just got the link via email, this is interesting... My hunch is that nobody knows about this hence limited feedback. Interesting though...

@1txr - I have no details, I am just guessing but it also feels like ~100 folks today. I hope I am wrong, but judging based on the traffic here (1000s of views today) this seems to be a significant hit.

I do not agree with folks who criticize for not posting, I haven't posted as I had nothing to contribute but I kept checking to see if something might leak here - just trying to figure out what's going on. I just wish if they were to communicate better/more.

Good night everyone.

My educated guess is about 135-150 layoffs today. These were mostly replenishment, some HR and an assortment of other departments. Based on the WSJ article late this afternoon, the word is that this could go on till the end of the month. They specifically mentioned e-commerce (wm.com), and technology which probably would be ISD in Bentonville. Since no announcement was made giving the all clear, I would think we are in for a rough ride next week.

Those three threads do not have almost 100 replies. I saw 27 on the last one and I think that was the most out of the three. Maybe the links are misdirected?

Is only IT being hammered right now? How about ops, corporate, stores? Just curios (disclaimer: I work for a competitor)

Freeloaders? Perhaps people are interested, just like yourself - but don't have reliable information to share. Wouldn't you rather just have replies that are reliable?

like most folks at walmart it, most people here are freeloaders, they read and visit but number of replies is minimal. folks take but not give. it perfectly reflects our culture.
