How nice. From 7/24 to 8/6, thousands of HO associates can once again pat management on the back! Or maybe they can wise up and tell how they really feel for a change?

Walmart's main customer (in the US) is the American family. Things happen when you get married and have children. Life gets complicated and people have budgets. While the uninformed seem to think their keen sense of seeing into the future is spot on... — read more

Any form of an Amazon Meal Kit service would have zero impact on Walmart's business. The study has already been completed. No impact. It's not even worth thinking about. In fact, it benefits Walmart for Amazon to sink money and effort into trying to... — read more

Any guesses at the total count since January 1, 2017? I've heard estimates from 1000 to 5000 with the 5000 number coming from someone with an HR area.

Layoffs are ongoing; each week people are being shown the door, that is a fact! Whether or not the 17th is going to be a day for a large layoff or just a handful of people is unknown. Walmart HR has been very calculating in avoiding tipping people... — read more 

As a pharmacy manager I lost one cashier/otc stocker to this round of layoffs. I can tell you that performance played no part in the decision of who to let go, and I had no input at all into the decision. The person they chose only makes sense if... — read more 

I don't think the simple concept of rational common sense applies to this company anymore. Most management is incapable of making any common sense decisions that they now have to outsource to 3rd party companies to tell them what to do. Have we gone... — read more
