Walmart to eliminate 1000's of jobs, many in HR...
Isn't it ironic?

The article says Walmart will eliminate 1000's of jobs by January 31st, it's fiscal year end. (It's from a site no longer allowed to be cited here but no doubt it's legit.)

Many will be in HR, they feel this work can either be done by outsiders or simply increased efficiency...

Found another link that hopefully can post:

Wallyworld's future is certainly in question w/ Trump in control.

If the US eventually broadly rejects Chinese imports, where will their inventory come from?

Well, it used to come from the USA. Of course, that was when Sam Walton was able to manipulate souther states to pay low wage textile jobs and consumer electronics was a cassette deck or a 20 inch TV.

Yeah, I hear you - but they were hardly the global juggernaut that they are now.

Their niche is prices; if they're going to keep them low & source inventory elsewhere, I guess more layoffs are to be expected.

Yes, this is an ADDITIONAL round of cuts.

Helps them "pay" for the "living wage" raises they made such a big deal about.

That is the most screwed up part of the whole thing.
"The fundamental question of our time is whether the West has the will to survive. ... Our own fight for the West does not begin on the battlefield — it begins with our minds, our wills, and our souls... Americans, Poles, and the nations of Europe value individual freedom and sovereignty. We must work together to counter forces, whether they come from inside or out, from the South or the East, that threaten over time to undermine these values and to erase the bonds of culture, faith and tradition that make us who we are. I am here today not just to visit an old ally, but to hold it up as an example for others who seek freedom and who wish to summon the courage and the will to defend our civilization." ~President Donald J Trump

Those jobs will likely be replced with robots. The ones that arent replaced with robots likely will be given to illegal immigrants and muslims.

The one near me went to all self-checkout counters and started closing at midnight instead of being open 24hrs. Stock boys no longer work at night so that puts them and their rows of skids right in the aisles as people are trying to shop.

We'll be driving an extra few miles to shop at Meijer from now on.

Most HR is online on company Cloud portals where employees can access from anywhere. Health coverage questions, vacation requests, how much accrued, hiring forms (I9s, W2s), ability to change info, deductions, etc. We just updated ours and now the HR woman got laid off. There will no longer be HR depts. - it will all be online.
