The Walmart Return to Office Disaster and What We Can Learn From It – ARC Relocation
Employees want companies to be more transparent and provide logical reasons for returning to the office. Management needs to focus on employee well-being and provide the necessary flexibility to ensure that they can work stress-free. Implementing a flexible, hybrid model is the best way to move towards a positive work environment. As workplace dynamics keep evolving, time will tell if employees will bow down to strict RTO policies. But as the outflow of top talent increases, companies like Walmart may need to rethink their approach to return to office.

r/remotework on Reddit: Walmart Corporate Eliminating Remote Positions
May 13, 2024 -

Today, Walmart Corporate announced internally that they are eliminating 100% of all work from home agreements. They are giving people until July to move to Northwest Arkansas or to accept a severance package. I know a few people who have been with the company for 10-20 years who are top performers with no disciplinary issues. Absolutely bullshit. Corporate greed at its finest.
