Wal-Mart managers will keep their jobs

SHENZHEN: Wal-Mart managers will get to keep their jobs after a breakthrough in talks between their representatives and the management.

The world's largest retailer has come under criticism after it announced it would reduce the number of mid-level managers at its 145 stores in China from April 17.

Under its "redeployment program", affected employees would be asked to work in Wal-Mart new stores in other cities or face demotion and a salary reduction at the same store.
