Does anyone else get the feeling that Bentonville is fast becoming the company backwater?
I think the plan is to shrink the Bentonville labor force as much as possible. The new home office is a shrine to the company history but all the areas representing the future of the company will not be in Bentonville. And very few people will work on that campus.
I feel like the writing is on the wall. They are managing down the store operations and the new leadership has no intentions of recentralizing company power in Northwest Arkansas.
The interesting thing is they’ve managed to keep things so quiet as they’ve fired so many people.
Wake up everyone! Walmart’s decline is well under way.
