Topics regarding layoffs at Walmart

Black Friday?

Anybody else finding their store not even close to the usual Black Friday crowds? Not sure what's going on, we are usually packed, but today other than this morning, we barely have more people than we do on usual days. I'm afraid that if we are doing... — read more

Fake Leader!

I like it when Walmart uses other retailers and grocery store programs and call it their own. It makes Walmart a very confused company with no real direction. Every year the have their meeting and store managers come back and unload the "new" program... — read more

Every store I have ever gone into nobody is smiling. They look mad or sad and some look frustrated. What happened to that place?

To the folks at WM HQ

You thought they just treated folks in the stores like dirt, didn’t you? It looks to me like home office is starting to get a taste of the treatment store associates have gotten for years. But hey. The stock price is up.

Walmart’s Toxic S-xual Harassment Culture

Some say it’s just the way men are I disagree not all men are the same and not all men harass women. But after a decade of service at Walmart I can’t tell you the number of stories I have heard about what other women like me have endured. Am I the... — read more

Goodbye maintenance!

Walmart has quietly begun testing an advanced, autonomous floor scrubber during overnight shifts in five stores near the company's headquarters in Bentonville, Ark., a move that could free workers from hours of drudgery, but that has already raised... — read more

Nepotism is astounding

Whoever described the current situation as "looting" wasn't exaggerating. Walmart is infested with NEPOTISM and FAVORITISM at all levels. A lot of us on these forums, what we have in common is being overworked while being held to impossible standards... — read more

Performance Improvement Plan(PIP)

Seems that a couple of people I know of have been PIP'd instead of getting laid off. Seems a little fishy in that if you don't agree to the plan apparently they fire you. Not sure if they are doing this to save money on severance packages, but seems... — read more

Goodbye Walmart

I left Walmart after almost 10 years of service. Leadership lives with their heads in the sand, oblivious or unwilling to see what is happening around them. I survived multiple rounds of layoffs over the past 3 years in my area and eventually just... — read more

WM lays off 155 store planners Nov. 3

Store planning got hit hard last Friday. Most of these are field positions, so there is not as much exposure in Bentonville. These were probably due to the move away from new store openings and remodels. We are going all in on e-commerce. You have to... — read more

Knowing the exact date of layoffs will not help
