Walmart wants to hire 150,000 temporary workers as the coronavirus pandemic continues

The company said it is hiring the associates to work in stores, clubs, distribution centers and fulfillment centers."These roles will be temporary at first, but many will convert to permanent roles over time," Walmart said in a press release."We've reached out to industry groups representing restaurants and hospitality to facilitate temporary roles that can be a bridge for their employees during this difficult time.

During the holidays, the company often focuses on giving additional hours to some workers instead of bringing on new hires.But the coronavirus is pushing the company to bring on new workers to help meet the crush of demand.Walmart also said it will hand out cash bonuses to employees. Full-time hourly workers will receive $300, while part-time hourly workers will receive $150. The company added that it will speed up the next scheduled quarterly bonus for associates.

Hey all you asymptomatic young folks. A job awaiting. We'll see who really wanna work.

They will need them to replace the ones with Corona Virus!

Why do they say 'the end of May?' Is it because they think CoronaVirus will end? Only Jesus knows that.

There will always be a place for Walmart. But don't underestimate the Chinalash coming soon. Walmart is probably re-thinking its supply chain right now.

I’ll believe it when I see it sorrynotsorry

How can I apply?

Don't hire anymore, Trump will dispatch everyone $100000，he planed himself

Talk to me when they actually do it, otherwise I'll assume this is another grab at good pub in a dark moment.

Why do you keep posting this? You posted this last night. Are you advertising for them? They just need more workers to pay next to nothing because their first line workers are going to get sick

Correction: “Walmart plans to screw more than 150,000 workers to profit from a global crisis”

Don't worry, China won't cut the supply for them.

What is the media doing to help their employees and the nation?

Why not actually PAY your employees a livable wage

They just need law enforcement on sight as well as well trained crisis management employees and managers. Shopping at Walmart comes with mental health stress. The customers are always up to something.

Q105Geno

While minimum wage stay static at 7.75/hr.

How about paid sick leave 🤷🏾‍♂️

Mart wal like Window shopping of display clothing and and shoose things like that .and all that it's wal mart

Nope. Ain't gonna happen.

Those will be people who stock shelves, gather carts, etc.

Crash? Another mediun for the spreading of coronavirus.

Remenber this kid? I DO!!!!!

I want to apply and be part of this world

No shit. Because the front line people are going to get sick with no health insurance.

it's my time

But it’s an “evil corporation”

I would love to apply

Walmart shortens its hours even further and takes new measures to fight coronavirusWalmart, the largest retailer in America, is shortening its hours even further as the coronavirus pandemic -- and demand for necessities -- escalates. Beginning today, many of Walmart's 4,700 US stores will be open 7 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. until further notice. This is so dumb because now everything is going to be so busy between 6 PM and 8 PM. Walmart Stores should be open more hours. Insanity That’s smart. Let’s get a ton of people shopping at a short period of time Wouldn’t it make more sense to be open 24 hrs a day? Less crowds? I like what some places in Canada have done... vulnerable (elderly) shopping only between certain hours.
