Topics regarding layoffs at Walmart

The (not so distant) Future of Walmart

Two things I see this company doing: phasing out all hourlies and going through temp services, and of those, pushing for a huge % of illegal immigrants. Walmart has already dabbled in both. Get ready to see it explode.

HO held a Mandatory Market Manager meeting Friday

Consolidating 3rd Food Sales Associate with Overnight Stocker. Eliminating Overnight Fresh Cleaner. Cap 2 will do all stocking but Grocery, 3rd Shift will take that. There's more but that's all that the person would say. Anyone hear anything more... — read more 

Jeans

Seems like the company is trying to find ways not to raise the wages. The hiring pool is slowly closing in on them. Target starts at a higher rate.

More Home Office Lay-Offs Coming? SWDC next target??

Hearing 5-700 more HO associates to lose their jobs by the end of Q2 from several sources. Anyone else hearing the same? All of WM Real Estate now under WM Operations since EVP is moving on to WM International. This leaves the Real Estate team very... — read more

Publicity stunt?

Walmart will help funding college degrees for all of the associates who have been with the company for at least three months. I wonder if this is a publicity stunt or a genuine attempt to help out employees. Knowing Walmart, it's most likely the... — read more 

Ethics being used to get rid of expensive employees?

Is anyone else noticing a lot of people,especially merchants, getting let go on ethics violations? It makes me wonder if your pay gets too high, do they go digging for stuff to get rid of you? I don’t know this to be true, but there are a lot of long... — read more 

Bentonville, AR Business Analytics

Watch out for Wal-Mart Labs and ISD counterparts. These teams are going to take on your business analytics and reporting functions.

Walmart Pilots

Always watch out for pilots, always. That tells you what's coming... For example, see if any of the pilots going on right now will turn into global rollouts: day supports going away, PC/TC going away, adding DMs and splitting departments, closing... — read more

Pay Increases

How much is the employee pay raise? I am new to Walmart. Do we get any holiday pay? Also, what about time and half.

Over hiring Managers at Corp

Anyone notice the excessive hiring of management at Corporate? Seems they are getting top heavy. Is there no balance checks in place?

Any Co's getting Unemployment?

Curious if any Co's out there who accepted severance and won unemployment? Really, Severance helps the the $950 month Cobra, 40+unpaid days of PTO I earned and only got paid for 5 (which I carried over from last year) yet there are still the same... — read more 

AES scores are out

How'd your area do? My area was ok at about 45% but heard of another that got a dismal rating. Like unheard of negative sentiment, less than 25% engagement.

How about we focus on America?

This is driving me insane. With so many things going wrong here, so many stores and clubs being closed and so many good employees being laid off for cost cutting reasons, Wallmart drops $16 freaking billion on an Indian company. Imagine if we... — read more

Walmart is mediocre at everything

Walmart is mediocre at everything: Amazon is better at e-commerce. Target is better at store experience (and better style in terms of products), Aldi and Lidl and Dollar stores (and Costco, usually) are cheaper, HEB and Publix and Wegman's have... — read more

Has anyone heard about food support going away

It's not over for Walmart Transportation

It’s far from over. The WM people are being replaced in most of the Grocery DC’s. Driver pools will be reduced in those markets and moved out the RDCs. Rumor has it down here that Companies are in discussions already with several transitions under... — read more 

How's it going?

So, a couple months into this , how is everyone getting along? Those of us displaced, has anyone gotten anything new going yet?

To Home Office:

Man who needed assistance at Walmart in Lawrence, Kentucky takes matters into his own hands and uses the PA system to ask for help in the sporting goods section. Stop pulling people out of their area or hire! The associate was probably in grocery... — read more

More frequent firings?

Have you noticed that firings have become somewhat of a norm lately? Especially of those who have been with the company for a while. And the reasons given for terminating these people seem completely fabricated. Is this just our Walmart store or is... — read more

The hammer came down today

We are being asked to cut more hours from our already gutted areas. I sent my entire Cap team home early. Other ASMs are offering extra days off to their associates even when it means no coverage.
