Walmart's California warehouse announced layoffs, and the total number of e-commerce layoffs will exceed 3,000

It is learned that on April 14, according to Retail Dive, Walmart announced that it will lay off 953 employees at its distribution center in California, USA. The layoffs will be permanent, but the distribution center will continue to operate.

This is the latest e-commerce layoff after Walmart recently laid off nearly 2,000 workers in warehouses in five states in the United States. After this layoff, Walmart's e-commerce layoffs this year will total more than 3,000.

Since the beginning of April, Walmart has announced layoffs in its distribution centers in five states in the United States, including 1,000 workers in the Texas distribution center, nearly 600 workers in Pennsylvania, 400 workers in Florida and 200 workers in New Jersey.

However, according to a Walmart spokesperson, as Walmart adjusts its stores and distribution centers to handle more e-commerce orders, it needs to increase staff in certain areas, so the laid-off employees may be transferred to these positions.

At the same time, Walmart plans to increase its investment in warehouse robots to reduce labor costs. On April 4, Walmart announced that by the end of 2023, warehouse robots will complete most of the work in its distribution centers, and the unit cost of transporting goods will drop by 20%.
