Rumor mill is filled with news of people about to be shown door. But, not sure who all are to let go. If walmart need to grow & compete, then their technology division need to revamp their employees. As a former employee who worked at david glass, I have seen many many many (count 100s, if not 1000s) people, of different ages, just sitting idle at break rooms, just sipping coffee or reading newspapers/books or just chatting. There is another set of people who just walk around inside the building thinking that it is an 'enclosed' park to walk around. Then there are people who just conducts lunch parties and such in the name of charity. There is another set of people who just procrastinate. Another set are those who do not want to change their technology expertise to new ones, as they do not want to learn. These are the people who need to be fired. If they are going to keep these people, then you can see amazon and others gaining foothold and walmart will no longer be many peoples go to store.
Walmart - if you are reading this take note and act, if you do not want to crumble
(checked with my friends over there, and nothing much has changed since I left)
