Walmart Inc plans to close three of its US technology hubs and has asked hundreds of workers to relocate to keep their jobs, the Wall Street Journal reported citing an internal memo.
The big-box retailer will close offices that house technology staff in Austin, Texas; Carlsbad, California; and Portland, Oregon, the report said, citing the memo from technology chief Suresh Kumar.
The WSJ report added Walmart will pay for workers in the locations to transfer to other primary offices such as San Bruno, California, or the company’s headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas.
Walmart did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
The company last month said it will raise average hourly wages for its US store workers starting February, as it seeks to attract and retain employees in a tight domestic labor market.
