Even though this formulation of Walmart being a technology company, given by our CEO is, in my opinion, overstated, Walmart made some excellent steps into researching new technologies and applying them and is very close to changing the business of retail for good.
My question is how is all of this change going to affect the workers? Just to be clear, I don’t mean change in a sense that automation is going to replace us, but we have to face the fact that with all these innovations Walmart is slowly but steadily becoming a different kind of company, that is in demand for different types of workers than the ones that it already has.
