Here’s our estimates on Walmart layoff activity for the next several months based on data we’ve collected. Some dates are specific and some are general. That’s due to business intelligence that either stands out, or, doesn’t stand out.
Here’s some facts that drive our estimates this time:
- April through August are traditionally high layoff times for Walmart
- Imbedded quiet days in April/May to allow for Q1 End, Q1 Reporting and Memorial Day.
- Project and budget reviews reveal considerable expense and capital saving opportunities do exist
- New capital projects to support AI are under consideration, including some eye popping infrastructure projects. All these projects will need to be funded
- There’s a considerable amount of tech outsourcing available (at favorable rates) to assume and run current systems
- Renewed focus on removing shadow IT projects and resources across the enterprise
Here’s our take on dates:
- [ ] 4/13 thru 4/28 increases to 70% likelihood of layoffs
- [ ] 5/6 thru 6/25 100% likelihood
- [ ] 6/30 thru 7/28 90% likelihood
- [ ] 8/4 thru 8/27 90% likelihood
