"Amazon offers $0.10 more per mile, leaving Walmart with no truckers"

But really, Wal-mart needs to get over themselves and do what they need to do to adapt, rather than being the bully they've always been.

It isn't like they refuse technology, they have a pretty decent technology team as far as I can tell.

Except they don't anymore. They laid off ~1,000 employees in the HQ, many of them in their tech department. (Source: http://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/2017/01/20/wal-mart-begin...)

Disclaimer: Some of the workers that got laid off in that department were friends of mine.

Even then, they still have an extremely competent technology division.

And I can say that the number of persons laid off in that even were <500.

Disclaimer: My mum was laid off in the event.
