Walmart To Close Two Walmart Stores And Its Tech Hub In Portland, OR -- February 24, 2023

From the linked article:

The closings mean 580 workers will lose their jobs: 201 at the Hayden Meadows Drive store and 379 at the 82nd Avenue store.
Both stores will close to the public on March 24, 2023, and the employees' last day will be June 2, 2023, according to the filings.
Affected workers were informed Wednesday and are eligible to apply for open jobs at other Walmart and Sam's Club locations.
Walmart is also cutting jobs in Portland as it closes its tech hub in the city. The retailer closed three tech offices across country last week. It employed 45 workers at its location in Portland as of 2019.

From bizjournals, regarding the tech training centers:

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why Walmart is doing this, and it starts with locking down the economy back in March, 2020.
