Walmart is cutting hundreds of store-support roles

The U.S. retail bellwether is eliminating the market coordinator job that supports some managers, the report said. These coordinators are considered to be corporate positions, assisting market managers, who are responsible for supervising roughly a dozen store managers each, it said.

The company is also cutting some coach and coordinator roles at Walmart Academy, which trains store employees and managers, according to the report.

They still have the Walmart academy? Those were a joke 6 years ago when I retired from Walmart. Our market manager at the time said that we didn’t have to follow anyth8ng we learned in the academy. lol

They can cut nearly every aspect of Walmart Academy. Those classes can be done virtually. If real universities can do it, Walmart can. It'll me the smart business move. Those teachers were all useless anyways.

No big surprise or mystery here. It’s just the next step in the planned thinning of the herd.
