Walmart Inc. will close three of its 11 US technology hubs and require affected workers to relocate, scaling back its footprint after unveiling an expansion plan last year.
Tech offices will be shut in Austin, Texas; Portland, Oregon; and Carlsbad, California, Global Chief Technology Officer Suresh Kumar said in a memo last week. Tech employees will also have to work in the office at least two days a week, although some roles may be converted into remote positions.
