The news, conveyed via a Walmart staff memo provided to The Associated Press, said the relocations will serve the goal of ā€œbringing more of us together more often.ā€ The memo likewise noted that being together in person ā€œmakes us better and helps us to collaborate, innovate and move even faster.ā€

The memo did not give a reason for the layoffs beyond stating that ā€œsome parts of our business have made changesā€ that will result in job losses.

A Walmart spokesperson did not immediately reply to questions regarding the reason for the layoffs and why Walmart is working to consolidate other office jobs in Arkansas, New Jersey and California.
