Severance
I left in 2023. I am regretting it a bit but it's not that bad in my new company. I hope the severance is still healthy. I am hearing that now they are giving 3 weeks per year of service, not sure if they are capping it. This probably explains reports where people are reporting 6 or 9 months of severane. I'd think they are capping it at nine months. Walmart is pretty generious about this, other companies not so much. I hope all of you who are laid off land on your feet and that this is not as traumatic as it can be. Godspeed.
40 weeks is the cap
How many are H1B? Or are they going after Americans (as I'd suspect)?
We’ve been given a 90-day window to find a new role internally.
The past few years have been intense and exhausting for sure - I really didn’t see this coming after all the effort, long hours, and personal sacrifices made to deliver results. And, yet, it did happen yesterday. The time and energy I hoped to spend with my little one will now be divided between job applications and grinding through LeetCode.
Folks were getting ambiguous emails from HR, they were weird emails, hidden messaging. To top it off, the email address was winner@walmart.com - go figure . HR at Walmart is incompetent... They are all evil. They lay off people with no remorse or consideration of their consequences.
from the email: "we are reshaping some teams in our global tech and Walmart us orgs where we have identified opportunities to remove layers and complexity, speed up decision making, and help associates innovate rapidly... These changes are mainly focused on driving efficiency in the end to end operations teams"

Three weeks for one year is better than what’s outlined in the handbook.
Doesn’t the handbook state it’s one week per year?
