Thread regarding Walmart layoffs

What's next . . . . . .

. . . . . .will likely be store managers and / or assistants dipped into the sausage grinder. This first move is but the beginning of a major over haul for Walmart, and why not? They've been top-heavy with useless managers s---ing them dry for far too long. This re structuring sharpens their game, gets every one on their toes, stimulates healthier, hungrier competition----and saves them money!

Ancient Chinese curse: 'May you live to see interesting times.' For many of Walmart's former elite, those times are indeed here.

Noticed this before Christmas, driver issues were starting to affect the store. Very late deliveries, dropping GM trucks on the wrong side of the store, grocery drivers coming to the GM side, drivers with no idea how to back up trucks. Spoke to claims driver said they were doing everything they could to push the long terms into retirement.

I was told by a support manager the other day that they are getting ready to lay off a lot of assistant managers and they are talking about doing away with all support managers within the next couple months. They are also suppose to be reducing the amount of department managers by merging departments again. This is just from one source though.

Walmart drivers have been getting screwed for years. At some point around 2007 or so WM started using Schneider (here in the mid west). Saw a lot of Schenider guys driving their company's cabs and hauling WM trailers, both for gm and grocery freight. More than a few of the WM drivers were just murderously mad; one told me his WM health/dental insurance was getting dropped as he was being dipped below his needed milleage, no fault of his own.
