I got laid off after 22 years. Many people I work with were also laid off. Everyone was 40 plus years old and had many years of service.
The younger less seiniored people were kept. So march 30th when we are all termed the company gets all our reserve stock units back that are not vested yet.
For me this is 40 thousand dollars so if you multiply that out to 500 people and I am sure most had more then that. Walmart will have even more money from it. It's disgraceful. I'm wondering if any law firm may see there may be a class action law suit here that could be substantial.
Age discrimination for sure. Same job but the ones who were kept were either young or had the buddy system going.
