Walmart intends to shut down three American technology hubs. As a result, hundreds of workers will have to relocate to keep their jobs. Tech hubs in Austin, Texas, Carlsbad, California, and Portland, Oregon, will be closed. Workers from those locations will be offered transfers to other primary offices in San Bruno, California, or the company's headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas. If employees choose to leave, Walmart will offer to pay for the transfers or severance pay. The Wall Street Journal reviewed a memo confirming the planned closings. Workers at Walmart's Bentonville corporate headquarters were mandated to work in the office for all five days of the week in 2022. According to Suresh Kumar, the retail giant's global chief technology officer, most of Walmart's global tech workers must be in their assigned office at least two days a week.
