Thread regarding Walmart layoffs

This is very upseting

Our market in Michigan, it looks as though the layoffs are total politics and not just a removal of the Co manager position. Does any one else see the trend that they only got rid of more senior Co Mangers, and kept the recently promoted ones? In our market, they kept minorities (women, African Americans, G--’s and transgender) and let go of white men...

Also, recently they added Fresh Grocery position and all of those positions were filled with Women. I know a few years back, there was a big class action lawsuit because there was not enough women in management roles. But I feel it’s not fair to just go out and start laying off your men! I’m a firm supporter of equality in the work place. Therefore, I feel as though promotions, and layoffs should not be chosen based on s-x, color, or age.....

I’m in my 30’s I’ve been with the company for 15 years and worked my way up to the Co Manager position, it’s just very upsetting.

YES! My husband was also a Co in Michigan. Almost 19 years. He worked from the bottom up. Everyday he worked hard. He wasn't just sitting in his spot and planning to stay forever. He wanted to promote but with the lack of stores manager positions open, it just wasn't an option. He was replaced by someone that was with the company less than five years. He could do anything in that store and could answer any questions. SAD! Their time will come! Wait until they get some years in. Adios Walmart! Apply for an assistant manager position...give me a break!

It’s business people. Co-Managers, find a store and you won’t have to worry about things like this.

Geographic area matters..,especially when you are in southern states.

Again, they are covered!

I guess there is a strategy to their madness because in my area they got rid of the majority of women and minorities and kept the white men, not just newly promoted ones.

They are covered!

Sorry to hear. Don't know where you are but there is an Amazon warehouse opening in Shelby that will be open soon. Check out that opportunity. The WMs in the area are probably crapping themselves when they do open. I anticipate people fleeing from WM to go there especially with the way WM is treating their associates.
