Walmart Trims Corporate Staff and Calls Remote Workers Back to the Office

Walmart is cutting hundreds of corporate jobs and asking most remote workers to move back into offices. The retail giant is shutting smaller offices in cities like Dallas, Atlanta, and Toronto, asking staff to relocate to hubs like Bentonville or Hoboken. Workers must be in offices most of the time but can work remotely part-time. Walmart employs over 2 million people globally as of January 2024. The company has been shrinking its workforce and expects 65% of store tasks to be automated by 2026.
