Remote Walmart Employees Slam Company After Being Forced To Relocate To Arkansas; Several Already Quit

Remote Walmart employees across the United States are now questioning the company’s newly implemented in-person work policy. Some employees who have been ordered to relocate are even considering resigning.

In May, Walmart mandated that hundreds of remote workers relocate to its corporate headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas, or its other hubs in Hoboken, New Jersey, and Northern California. A recent Bloomberg report revealed that employees opposed the return-to-office mandate during a company-wide Zoom call, with some resigning.

During the call, one participant described the RTO policy as “a bunch of bullsh-t.” In contrast, others expressed concerns about the challenges of living in Arkansas, childcare arrangements, increased workload, and the potential impact on their partners’ careers due to the relocation.

A Walmart employee informed Bloomberg that he decided to resign from the company rather than relocate on such short notice. According to the report, employees unable to relocate must terminate their employment with the company between August 2024 and January 2025.

Yeah well, didn’t it come out long time already that the company who does this just wants you to quit, so they don’t have to fire you. Another exploitation of workers.

Being forced to relocate like that should constitute a contract renegotiation and these folks should get severance and unemployment.

It is in Canada.

Not sure of US law, but in Canada something like this would be considered Constructive Dismissal, so you resign and they legally owe you termination pay and severence pay based on position amd years served

Wiz ,

In US law, workers can generally be terminated for “any reason or no reason.”

Yes, but this isn’t termination, it’s making working so intolerable that you quit.

But it varies by state. There’s no federal law about it. findlaw.com/…/constructive-dismissal-and-wrongful…

They can deff get unemployment as this is a constructive dismissal but severance in most states is purely regulated by contract.

My job just moved to the headquarters, so I quit. The company did indeed offer $20,000 to move me and, if not, 2-months severance and benefits, with my PTO used first and paid in full. Also, the contract stated there would be no issue with me filing for unemployment after severance is over. That’s how it should be done.

I can’t blame them in my case. Since a large chunk of my duties involved shipping and troubleshooting hardware, it makes sense to have someone available to come in once or twice a week.

Anybody got any remote IT positions? I can send a resume. If you DM me, I’ll not likely see it. Reply here and I’ll get with you.

I’m curious what setup you have that allows you to see replies but not DMs

catloaf ,

App notifications probably.

Anyone with a brain avoids the Deep South when they can

They can’t even write the state’s name how it’s pronounced

Sad thing is the Bentonville area is rather nice. Because the Walton kids have dumped a bunch of money into it. Whole state could be just as nice if Arkansas would tax those assholes effectively.

Shh let them think it’s trash. We don’t need anyone else.
