I've been employed by WM Canada for 6 years. I started as an hourly (minimum wage) associate at the "front end" (cashier) even though that was not the job I applied for online. It took two years of applying for everything on the "wire" before I was... — read more

Walmart is in big trouble. Massive changes in retail and new competition require new thinking and innovation that I have yet to see at Walmart. Walmart would have to lay off 90% of their store associates in order to maintain the bottom line. Maybe... — read more 

It seems the personnel coordinator position has been saved for the moment, but has anyone heard anything about the training coordinator position??? With the academy and the new orientation program it sure looks as if the writing is on the wall

Recent new store structure called for a reduction in co-managers and assistants in Canada. Our store had to move out an assistant manager to make room for a co that had to "step down" as we had one too many. The trouble is he is still acting like a... — read more 

Rumor mill is stating Walmart is not done with the layoffs.... Thousands more layoffs to come for HO Bentonville. I suppose time will tell. May be time to think about going elsewhere.

The thing about Walmart associates especially tenured ones is that they are very very loyal. They "bleed blue". They've dedicated their careers to this company. Poured their hearts and souls into building it up to the company it is today. I saw... — read more 

It's in the news. The Trump administration is examining and vowing to curb the rampant mis-use of the H1B visa program that was flooding the US job market with cheap labor from India. In ISD we have more H1B holders (associates) than you think. Then... — read more 

I worked in the IT (ISD) department for about 9 years. It is full of wonderful and knowledgeable people who know how to do what they do. Here was the problem, nothing new could come about because of our the associates unwilling to allow or think... — read more 

The fight between e-commerce and Homeoffice will end in the destruction of the company. You can't M&A your way to success at some point you have to stop fighting and do real innovation. All the non technical managers need to be let go and they need... — read more 

I knew Sam and worked closely with him in developing the first iteration of the Walmart Visitors Center in Bentonville back in 1989-90. Sam was adamant that we not call the WMVC a "museum". I'm paraphrasing, but I vividly recall him noting that... — read more 

They'll never be able to cut enough headcount or skus to be as efficient (and thus cheap) as Aldi. Their stores are just too big for that sort of efficiency. And their stores are a fixed resource. So that's a big problem for them. If it were me, I... — read more 

The top brass does not give a damn about the long term viability of the company. They are only trying to squeeze out as much as they can in the short term. They make a ton of money then move on. WM is no longer a mom and pop shop. It has become a... — read more 

Walmart USA is what was impacted. Not sure why pricing is relevant when there is only one person in some of the SBU's. I guess Savings Catcher is being so utilized by so many consumers that there is no need for pricing. Not sure what will happen with... — read more 

Friday, April 28th, numerous pricing team associates were impacted. They either received a package because their position was eliminated or offered a demotion to another group. Seems like a significant restructuring of the role within Walmart. Maybe... — read more 

I heard from a reliable resource there were layoffs occurring in DGTC next week on Wednesday Thursday and Friday. The layoffs will be targeting 75 and higher.

I know a re org is coming to Bentonville technology. If I don't like where they are moving me too, Will they give me a severance ???

What happens if we choose not to apply for the new positions? Do they have to give us a severance package? What happens if we don't get the new job we have applied for?

Anyone have new information on personnel positions being eliminated in Walmart stores??

I looked at the wire this morning - search severance . The policy used to be 2 weeks for each yr of service + 1 week per 10k of base pay, max 40. Now it's 2 weeks + 2 week for each year if service , + 1 week per 20k of base pay, max 40. This has... — read more

Was in a meetings with LT, SM, PT & GV. Get your box ready, Finance restructure is coming.

Bentonville David glass building.

i heard some regions began laying off their co managers to get to the new guidelines. Others said we aren't letting anyone go. Anybody have any info? That's a lot of people losing their jobs!

What if any positions are being eliminated Friday at Sam's club ?

I am an ASM in Canadian Walmart. Does anyone know if the company can force me to be the overnight manager? Could I ask for severance instead?

Important meeting today for all store mgnt at 11 : 30. I'll keep you posted.

Were all the hardines managers at Sam's Club laid off?

This for the market in total, so the numbers are not Walmart specific. Anyhow, on a monthly basis, retail sales decreased 0.2 percent from February to March (seasonally adjusted), and sales were up 5.2 percent from March 2016. Source: at... — read more
