传统零售面临挑战，沃尔玛再次裁撤数百个工作岗位

沃尔玛公司近日宣布，将在本月裁撤更多美国公司岗位，虽然沃尔玛为了改善电子商务业务和重新获得在美国零售业的低成本定价优势，进行了大量投入。

沃尔玛确认最新一轮裁员涉及的“数百个”岗位，包括国际与技术业务以及仓储式连锁店山姆会员店。

沃尔玛发言人兰迪•哈格罗夫表示：“正如我们在一月份所说的那样，为了推动增长和投资，我们必须严格管理成本和资本决策。这意味着我们将继续想方设法，提高运营效率和有效性。”

他并未公布裁员的具体数量。

《华尔街日报》在上周二首先报道了公司的这一决定。

沃尔玛在2016年开始裁员，当时公司宣布将裁撤7,000个后勤工作岗位，并将更多员工转入店面销售。

今年早些时候，沃尔玛裁撤了1,000个公司岗位，主要来自人力资源部。（财富中文网）

Wal-Mart Stores Inc said on Tuesday it is eliminating more U.S. corporate jobs this month, even as it invests in improving its e-commerce operations and in regaining its low-cost pricing advantage in the U.S. retail sector.

Wal-Mart confirmed the latest round of job cuts, which will involve "hundreds" of positions in its international and technology businesses, along with its Sam's Club warehouse chain.

"As we said in January, to fuel our growth and our investments we have to manage our costs and our capital decisions with discipline," Wal-Mart spokesman Randy Hargrove said. "This means we will continue to find ways to operate more efficiently and effectively."

He gave no details on the number of positions to be eliminated.

The Wall Street Journal first reported the move on Tuesday.

Wal-Mart's job cuts started in 2016 when the retailer said it was eliminating 7,000 back-office positions and moving more of its workforce to the sales floor.

Earlier this year, Wal-Mart cut more than a 1,000 corporate positions, mostly in its human resources department.
