Is there any truth to invoice clerk and receiving lead losing there jobs? I want facts not th rumors please!!!

Recent remarks from our EVP outline that sentiment exactly. Without ever addressing the layoffs directly, he told us to stop "the worry, gossip, rumours, paranoia and assumption of negative intent." Pardon me, sir, but you've laid off about a dozen... — read more

Some observations/comments on my part..... Working for WM has become a one-way street where they now take and take and take. I would be amused at every year begin meeting (YBM) where someone in leadership would inevitably say "We're going to do more... — read more

Anyone hear anything about layoffs coming to the stores? Personnel, DSD, Claims?

I've heard that they're trying to hit an SG&A number of 16% over the next four years or so. If this is true, they'll have to keep cutting headcount. Can anyone confirm/deny this rumor? Is it even possible for Walmart's SG&A to get that low?

This company is ridiculous! I have given 19 years to this place and was told today my role had been eliminated. Leadership has NO empathy for their people. What a disgrace this company has become!

SVP of retail let go today. Another VP in retail let go today, more to come this week.

Doug made it clear in an HR quarterly meeting that layoffs will continue & basically said if you cannot accept that, you need to go somewhere else. HR has the lowest AES scores across the company. We get blamed for all the layoffs even though we just... — read more
