Walmart is planning to cut hundreds of jobs and to close his offices in North Carolina in an attempt to return employees to the most important hubs in Arkansas and California.

“We make these changes to put together important possibilities, to encourage speed and shared understanding,” Morris wrote in the memo obtained by Fox Business.
“Through this assessment process we have eliminated some roles while streamlining how we work.”
“Our values ​​and culture are strategic distinctions for us as a company, and they are promoted by being together,” she continued.
