Walmart is cutting or relocating roughly 1,000 corporate jobs as the retail giant continues a broader restructuring effort focused on efficiency, technology, and changes to in-store operations. The move comes as the retail giant simultaneously scales back self-checkout lanes in multiple markets.

The layoffs were confirmed on Tuesday, May 12, after an internal memo from Walmart executives Suresh Kumar and Daniel Danker was shared with employees. According to a memo obtained by The Wall Street Journal, the cuts are aimed at reducing overlap between teams and streamlining work organization across Walmart’s global tech and product divisions.
