Severance package question - realistically, what to expect?

Okay, so I know there haven't been any official announcements, but the rumors are swirling like crazy in my department (e-commerce marketing). I've heard whispers about potential restructuring, and honestly, my role feels pretty vulnerable. Hypothetically speaking, if layoffs *were* to happen, what kind of severance package is Walmart typically offering these days? I've heard everything from 2 weeks per year of service to some ridiculously generous packages that seem too good to be true. I'm trying to mentally prepare myself, and having a realistic expectation of what I might be entitled to would really help. Any insights from people who've been through this before would be greatly appreciated.

Walmart's severance packages can be all over the place. A close friend worked in supply chain management there for 8 years and got about a month's pay when they restructured his department. It really seems to depend on your level, how long you've been there, and how they spin the layoff. Start documenting everything you do and consider quietly updating your resume, just in case.

Don't believe everything you hear. While restructuring is possible, those 'ridiculously generous' packages are highly unlikely unless you are executive level. Walmart is known for being pretty tight-fisted. Focus on doing your job well and try not to stress too much about gossip. If the rumors get too disruptive, consider talking to HR about the uncertainty.
