Walmart is working to transform itself from a “grocery chain” into a “global tech giant.” In this process, the company is reshaping its workforce and placing greater emphasis on e-commerce. The disclosed salary data shows that the company is heavily investing in its tech employees. It also suggests that Walmart is enhancing its workforce to compete with rivals such as Amazon, AliExpress, and Google.
