| Walmart fired another 300 people from its Bentonville headquarters in Northwest Arkansas on Wednesday.
These were not your run-of-the-mill Walmart workers. Nope, these were high-paid executives, department managers, and others making a decent (by Arkansas standards) wage. My neighbor, the perpetually bubbly real estate agent who watches “The Secret” videos and believes in “Wishful Thinking” as a marketing strategy, was freaking out over the latest round of cuts coming out of Walmart. Her response was straightforward, “Who’s going to buy all these homes in Pinnacle and Shadow Valley?” Rumors abound that vendors supporting Walmart are also quietly cutting staff in the region. Most, we hear, are simply relocating high-paid folks back to their respective HQs. Others are simply folding shop or not replacing workers as they leave/move elsewhere. The good news: Local food banks say they’re ready to feed the growing legions of hungry families in Northwest Arkansas. http://ow.ly/13Ub7 |
