Remote Walmart Employees Slam Company After Being Forced To Relocate To Arkansas; Several Already Quit
Walmart's mandate for remote employees to relocate to its Bentonville headquarters has sparked widespread discontent.
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.

I have been seeing Walmart trying to recruit high end professionals to relocate to their HQ in Bentonville... why would anyone do such a thing?
You can live in a major city where if you lose or don't like your job, you get another one for more money. OR
Live in a company town where you can get a good job from the company. Do these execs and clown HR really think anyone would go for this idiotic deal lol

Ex took my kids to Arkansas, my mom lived there and I used to live next door in Tulsa. I have very little issue living here in the Deep South, but I would not move to Arkansas.
Funny note: The 01/06 insurrectionist with his feet on Pelosi's desk? That was mom's neighbor. The mayor was on TV saying he didn't want people thinking they were all racist assholes like Bigo. LOL NO! My mom was a hardcore racist and even she hated the guy.
To be fair Gravette is a massive shit hole. There's better areas around there.
