Relo Memo by Donna Morris (CPO)

There you go, a memo by Donna and no more remote work - it's chaotic and many folks are panicking... Here is the full memo: >It has been a little over four years since we faced the global pandemic that reshaped our lives in many ways, including our ways of working. In February 2022, we made the decision to bring Home Office associates back into our campus offices. We believe that being together, in person, makes us better and helps us to collaborate, innovate and move even faster. We also believe it helps strengthen our culture as well as grow and develop our associates. >With the goal of bringing more of us together more often, we are asking the majority of associates working remotely, and the majority of associates within our offices in Dallas, Atlanta, and our Toronto Global Tech office, to relocate. Most relocations will be to our Home Office in Bentonville, but some will be to our offices in the San Francisco Bay Area or Hoboken/New York. >In addition, some parts of our business have made changes that will result in a reduction of several hundred campus roles. While the overall numbers are small in percentage, we are focused on supporting each of our associates affected by these changes. >We have had discussions with associates who were directly impacted by these decisions. We will work closely with them in the coming days and months to navigate the best path forward.

Getting rid of "bad performers" who are anything but

I'm wondering, I'm no longer at Walmart but it'd be nice to know if the company is still getting rid of people like they did last year for supposedly being bad performers when they just wanted an excuse to cut a bunch of us after raising pay without paying us severance? (And yes, I was one of those who were cut in that way and I'm still pi^^^d about it.)

Lazy management

I'm not sure about other clubs, but I'm getting tired of doing all the work as a TL while they do absolutely nothing. Pick any time of the day and you won't be able to find a single one of them where they're supposed to be. I've been dealing with this for a full year and I'm about to throw in the towel. If I got rewarded for my work, that would be one thing. But doing their jobs in addition to my own and getting paid the same gets old really quickly.

Are they completely eliminating Associate Merchants??

So many were let go yesterday, that it makes me wonder if that's the end goal here.

Do hourly employees get any kind of severance if laid off?

I know that folks who just got let go from HO received severance pay but what about us?

Weird

Several people have warned me not to stand out, because excelling at work can get you in serious trouble. That sounds weird, right? Why would anyone get punished for that?
