WalMart to Lay-Off Thousands in Corporate Offices Unless They Relocate

Walmart is planning to cut thousands of corporate positions in Texas and California, the company said in filings it made to state employment officials.

Last week, a top Walmart executive told employees that the retailer would slash hundreds of corporate positions and request that a majority of its remote workers relocate to one of three of its central hubs in either Arkansas, New Jersey or Northern California. Walmart also said it will give some employees permission to work remotely, but only on a part-time basis.

“We do not expect all impacted associates to experience employment loss due to this event,” Walmart said in its Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) filings obtained by Quartz. “In the interest of providing appropriate notice, however, we are doing so at this time. We anticipate that many impacted associates will relocate or continue employment in a new position within the company before the end of a paid transition period.”

In Texas, an estimated 1,472 employees will be impacted, according to WARN notices Walmart filed.

Ew. Maybe have to relocate from Texas to NEW JERSEY?

I'd be burnishing a resume on that one.
