Walmart Layoffs

No more Walmart culture

Lipstick on a pig doesn't change the pig. And for all of those interns who came & left due to the disgust of even thinking of working at Walmart- well to each their own. All that glitters is not gold but if you have been in the dream world of a... read more

We don't have to assume negative intent, it's more than obvious

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

Colonial Era!

A 3rd party survey link on Friday close to midnight, left me wondering!, well its simple… (1) siphon the opinions into a black hole (2) save some embarrassment by reducing the feedback posted in public. Changes made in last few months, reminds me of... read more

Walmart has to start treating its employees better

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

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?

Just let go!

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!

FYI the AES scores for Ecommerce includes india

Then numbers were bad, but the only reason the score was as high for (would you recommend to work at walmart) was because India was included . As you should know, Walmart India is taking on a lot of the work that was once done In the USA. My sr... read more

Refocus on customer experience

The drivers behind the intense remodeling and investment in stores are an outcome of not investing in the customer experience and leaning too heavily on price as the 1st priority. It can be hard to visualize Amazon and other DTC players as real... read more
