Walmart to lay off hundreds of corporate staff and relocate others, WSJ reports

Walmart is set to lay off hundreds of corporate employees and has mandated that many remote workers relocate to main offices, as reported by The Wall Street Journal. The U.S. retail giant is consolidating its workforce, requiring staff from smaller offices in cities like Dallas, Atlanta, and Toronto to move to larger hubs in Bentonville, Hoboken, or Southern California. Despite these changes, Walmart will allow partial remote work, provided employees spend most of their time in the office. This move is part of a broader effort to reduce the company's workforce, which includes increasing automation in stores.
