Overview

  • The latest layoffs eliminate market coordinator roles that assist market managers across multiple stores.
  • Coach and coordinator positions at Walmart Academy have also been cut under the new restructuring plan.
  • Displaced employees are guaranteed offers for store-level coach roles in their nearby locations.
  • Walmart’s executive vice president of store operations, Cedric Clark, said the moves reduce friction in support layers for store associates.
  • The reductions build on earlier May cuts of about 1,500 tech, e-commerce and advertising jobs as part of a broader efficiency push.
