Walmart corporate offices to work remotely in response to coronavirus

BENTONVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — Employees in all Walmart corporate offices will begin working remotely through at least Friday, April 3 in response to the spread of the coronavirus, Walmart President & CEO Doug McMillon announced on Friday.

All U.S. offices, including the Bentonville Home Office, will begin remote work on Monday, March 16. The company says employees should use Friday, March 13 to prepare for working from home.

“In consultation with state and local health officials, and with the guidance of our Chief Medical Officer, we have made the decision that associates based in our U.S. corporate offices should work remotely through at least Friday, April 3,” the memo states.

McMillon said the offices would remain open but services such as cafeterias, printing services and other resources will be temporarily closed.

Retail workers are underpaid and left to fend for themselves as they are deemed to be replaceable.
