More Job Losses Could Be Coming to Walmart

Last week we told you about Walmart firing 300 workers from its headquarters staff as the company goes through a major restructuring. The 300 jobs were just the tip of the iceberg, with 10 Sam's Club stores closing, a major layoff of 11,000 workers at Sam's Club stores, and a new decentralized set up for the company that will shift many jobs away from the main office in Bentonville to regional offices.

When we told you about those 300 layoffs, we wondered if there might by more job losses on the way. As it turns out, there may be. The Northwest Arkansas Times reports that as the company starts creating regional offices and moving positions there, jobs in Bentonville will be eliminated. According to the article,

"some headquarters staff members will face a choice of relocating, looking for other jobs or retirement, according to several people familiar with the situation.
Wal-Mart declined to put a number on positions that could be moved out of Bentonville. Those decisions will be made case by case and it will take time to figure out what works for each area"

We'll certainly be keeping an eye on this transition to see how it affects the company. We can only hope that Walmart does all it can to ensure that jobs aren't eliminated unnecessarily, or workers aren't pushed out of their jobs. Walmart has a reputation, after all, for pushing workers with seniority out to reduce the cost of salary and benefits overall. It's one of the reasons Walmart has such a high turnover rate.

After years of relentlessly attacking the employees of Walmart headquarters, Wake Up Walmart now sympathizes with them? After spending substantial amounts of money trying to "erode" Walmart's profits, WUWM is now outraged that Walmart's profits have eroded enough to require a reduction in its workforce? Opportunistic vultures!

there are more layoffs coming, department managers will be layed off comany wide, they are eliminating the need for DM's. There will be less DM's in each store, eventually there will be none.
