Thread regarding Walmart layoffs

Ok. Here it is. All store managers have been sent a form where they are to rate all of their assistant managers in multiple performance categories (not a yearly evaluation form, this is different). All of the assistant managers for the entire market will then be banded together in one large pool. These results will then be calibrated. Each manager will fall into low, mid or high category. The low which will be around 20-25% will be terminated and given 60 days pay. For the mid and high, some managers will be allowed to stay in role at their current store and some will be forced to transition to another location. Department manager roles will be given more responsibility and roles combined with some of those positions going away also. Workplace will be tested by additional stores and ultimately cause the elimination of personnel but that layoff will not occur in Feb. New changes to attendance will be rolled out by February. Anyone who feels like this will not happen to me, trust that it will and is happening. Just be prepared and pray for the best. Walmart will also roll out a small pay increase for hourly associates and put the news of that out simultaneously to coincide with the mass manager layoffs to reduce the negative media. Store managers are not being told that the managers that they rank low will lose their job but the majority of managers based on the co manager layoff experience have figured it out at this point and know what is going on.
