The allure of working from home seems to be wearing off for some employers, and specifically for the biggest.
According to several media outlets, retail giant Walmart, the country’s largest employer, with about 1.6 million U.S. workers, will be eliminating hundreds of corporate jobs throughout country while relocating most of the remaining remote office staff to its Bentonville, AR, headquarters, where a 350-acre campus is being designed to accommodate over 15,000 employees across 12 buildings. The news was first reported by the Wall Street Journal.
