Walmart is making significant changes to its corporate office strategy, including job cuts and office closures. The company recently announced the elimination of an undisclosed number of corporate roles and the closure of its Charlotte, North Carolina, office. Employees affected by these changes have been offered relocation support or severance.
As part of its office restructuring, Walmart is asking employees from smaller offices, including those in Hoboken, New Jersey, to relocate to larger hubs in Arkansas or California. The company is also expanding office spaces in Sunnyvale, Bellevue, Hoboken, and New York City.
The move aligns with Walmart’s broader push to bring more employees back to in-person work, citing collaboration and culture as key benefits. The company continues to invest in its Bentonville, Arkansas, headquarters, with new office buildings opening throughout the year.
This restructuring follows a similar move last year when Walmart asked remote employees in Dallas, Atlanta, and Toronto to relocate or face layoffs. These changes reflect a growing trend among major corporations shifting away from remote work in favor of centralized office environments.
