Today and tomorrow will be mass layoffs in Walmart about 1500 people laid off from US offices. I’m the one who got affected and literally got this as birthday surprise after working for 6 years.
Does anyone inside of corporate Walmart know more?
I heard there’s a layoff at home office today. Does anyone know how many people were impacted?

This is not a usual place to do layoffs! It’s not silicon valley that you lay off people and then they have other companies to turn to. How can you practically make people move here in a hell hole like Bentonville and the lay them off. Are you frikkin stupid? Do you want people to commit suicide? You don’t let any other company come here, you ask people to move here and then you take away their job? What is this emotional roller coaster, do you want us to die literally?
So I noticed this in my profile. I was not talked to about anything and to my knowledge there aren't supposed to be any layoffs, although they did hire some new people. I work ON stocking and my schedule for the week of the 9th through the 15th got dropped down to 29 hours even though I'm full time. I have not gotten my schedule for the week of the 16th to the 22nd and I feel like these should have dropped already?
I'm only at 2.5 points so I'm not entirely sure if this is just a glitch or something?

Just got laid off as a SWE from Walmart Global Tech, after only working there for THREE MONTHS. That's right THREE. I just moved here, moved my entire life here, signed a lease, bought furniture, got situated then boom. Goodbye. My last day is Friday, so many things to figure out AHHHHHH.
Now my first SWE job is a 3 month role on my resume. Not sure what I'm gonna do, just a vent, sorry.
I hope everyone is doing okay. I specially those impacted by the layoffs. If you have any info on the layoffs or questions throw them in here.
Anybody know any hard numbers? Rumor mill said 1500 US associates and 1000 IDC (workers in India).
Also it appears all level 2 employees have been cut???
