Walmart to reportedly lay off hundreds of corporate staff and relocate others

Walmart is reportedly laying off hundreds of corporate employees and relocating others, according to the Wall Street Journal. The company is consolidating its workforce, requiring most remote workers to relocate to central hubs like Bentonville, Hoboken, or Southern California, while still allowing part-time remote work. This move is part of Walmart's broader strategy to reduce its workforce and integrate more automation, with plans for 65% of its stores to be automated by fiscal year 2026.
