Let's give some corrections here. Every employee is still an employee of Walmart. They will receive the normal paychecks they would earn (averaged over 3 months) for the next two months. During that time, no employee is required to even show up somewhere to sign in. During those two months, they are welcome and encouraged to apply at another store.

If, at the end of two months, if they still have not been accepted at another store, then severance will take place, and each employee will receive one month of severance salary.

So, yeah, if Walmart was out to punish anyone, they pick a strange way to do it. It is as Walmart has stated; there are some serious plumbing issues in certain buildings built by a particular contractor and those stores need serious work to bring them up to local (and national) health code and quality. These are from shortcuts taken by the contractor in not putting in the right traps they should have done.

So every time you see someone whining on the news about this, please remember that they are earning just as much as they were when they worked at Walmart, they just don't have to do anything about it now.

Not only will you see the plumbing repaired but my guess it the stores will be
remodeled from top to bottom, front to back. The group stirring this pot is
ones from the CA store that has been raising a ruckus for the past couple years.
