Please give me some encouragement that it is possible to find something better at my age and that I will finally be able to escape from here. My age is holding me back from finding a better job, while at the same time I'm worried that Walmart might... — read more
They will do everything to get rid of us without severance
This is very obvious. Of course, it is not in their interest to give us severance pay, so they are making our jobs more difficult in every way so that we decide to leave on our own. I think they're more creative than ever about it? The... — read more
Walmart has always put profits over people
Cutting people and cutting hours when we desperately need more people and more hours is nothing new. I'm sure the same goes for corporate. This means that nobody should be surprised by the cuts that happened and that everybody should be expecting... — read more
What do you think?
Do you all think there will be more layoffs coming?
The Truth about Corp WM
Walmart throws away their old people. We all know it. The pattern has been there for years. During a pandemic when it’s already hard for older people to get another job and start over. Get out while you still have time to start over. Shameful. — read more
Things are about to get worse
We'll be hit worse than other retailers because the people who shop at Walmart will be hit by the coming recession much harder. They will be forced to cut spending. This will affect our bottom line significantly and in turn cause more cost cutting... — read more
Buying Organization
Do you think that the Buying Organization may be affected by layoffs soon?
What/ who is to blame?
Of course, Walmart blames inflationary pressures as the reason for all this. However, are inflation and recession worries the only reason for these layoffs? I don't think they are. I think everything would be a lot better if the company, that is... — read more
I doubt it is only 200
Who else thinks the number is bigger? I hope that no more layoffs will follow but it seems to me that there is a high probability that there will be more. Could be wrong, just my opinion.
Always laying off the people that do the work
If you look through the News Post WalMart does layoffs every 2 years. Every two years there's new executive leaders and those are the ones that are making the decisions or what I call resume building. They are trying to do things to enhance their... — read more
I don't care about layoffs at corporate
Let me rephrase that, I care as much as people who work there care about us and our working conditions. Which is zero amount. What has corporate ever done for us that was positive? Nothing. Now I'm supposed to be all concerned about some of them... — read more

Are We Done With August Home Office Layoffs?
Do you expect they will be cutting more? What groups may be affected?
I regret putting in so much effort
Many people told me that before, but I didn't really listen to their advice until I experienced it myself. Walmart does not value anyone's effort at all! Bosses don't walk the talk and despite the fact that they say that everyone needs to work... — read more
So little transparency
My manager pretends that everything is fine, even though there are already serious rumors about cuts. This is nothing new, but the lack of transparency in this company is starting to frustrate me. Of course, everyone is more frustrated when they... — read more

Manager telling us we are overstaffed
It's hard to understand. When the manager tells us that we are overstaffed, I start wondering what it would look like if we were understaffed. Have they no shame saying such things while one person is covering several departments? Every day I want... — read more

Unrealistic expectations
There are not many options - either find some way to meet those unrealistic expectations or look for another job. Does anyone have any advice on how to best deal with such expectations? I can't lose this job right now, even though it has become... — read more
People leads
Why is there such a high turnover of people leads? From what I see, the job is too stressful. Too much work for 1 person.
Store standards Gone to H. E. $. $.
Now after 5 years (+) of losing the greatest groups of tenure / experienced leadership you can see the standards (that would get you fired before) as the normal standard of stores. Houston Tx. Has the most divers - most complexed stores in the... — read more

cost of living raise
Does anyone know if hourly will get a cost of living raise? I figure without a cost of living raise due to inflation we will be taking a pay cut. Does management including HR, district, ethics get a cost of living raise? i have this feeling there... — read more
What a joke of a business.
I will not spend another dime in that place, they treat their employees like complete dirt. I will spend the extra money elsewhere. I challenge everyone else to do the same. I hope Amazon puts them out.
