"“That includes updating some roles to better match the work being done, bringing teams together where it makes sense, and aligning some roles to key locations where related work is already happening,” the memo stated."
"“Some work has been consolidated, and some roles have been eliminated,” adding that the company was helping those affected “explore other opportunities within Walmart where possible.”"
"Fast Company understands that Walmart considers these changes “conversations,” which the company takes to mean that, while around 1,000 roles are affected, it won't necessarily mean 1,000 workers are laid off."
"The company is giving some workers the option to keep their jobs, provided they relocate. The WSJ says the relocation options include the company's offices in Bentonville, Arkansas, and Northern California."
Walmart confirmed that it is eliminating some roles as part of simplifying its digital operations. The company is reducing layers of organizational structure by updating roles to better match current work, bringing teams together where appropriate, and aligning roles to key locations where related work already occurs. The consolidation includes both eliminated roles and consolidated work. Walmart plans to help affected employees explore other opportunities within the company where possible. The company indicated that the changes are treated as “conversations,” meaning the number of affected roles may not equal the number of workers laid off. Some workers may keep their jobs if they relocate, including options in Bentonville, Arkansas, and Northern California.
