Walmart Denies H‑1B Link, Says It Cut One Vendor and a Few U.S. Staff

Unverified posts allege a Caspex kickback scheme with a Global Tech VP firing despite no independent confirmation.

Walmart, earlier this year, had announced plans to lay off 1500 workers, which was part of its restructuring efforts.

Overview

  • Walmart said an internal probe led to the termination of one vendor and a small number of U.S.-based associates and it stated the matter was not related to H‑1B visas.
  • The allegations originated on Blind and were amplified on Reddit and X by a self‑described “H‑1B whistleblower” without published evidence.
  • CTOL Digital Solutions claimed Walmart severed ties with Caspex‑sourced contractors over a kickback operation, but outlets note the lack of independent corroboration.
  • Fact‑checkers say sweeping claims such as ~1,200 contractor cuts and a VP firing remain unconfirmed, while posts from figures including Senator Mike Lee have kept the rumors circulating.
  • The online furor has stoked anxiety within Indian diaspora communities and follows Walmart’s earlier plan to eliminate about 1,500 jobs as part of a restructuring.
