Walmart Worker’s Zoom Outburst Shows Angst Over Relocation Plan
Hundreds of Walmart Inc. employees joined what they thought would be a routine Zoom call in May when talk veered to mandatory relocation to Arkansas. The policy is “a bunch of bullsh-t,” blurted out one participant.
Workers on the call were startled, but not surprised, according to people familiar with the matter who weren’t authorized to speak publicly on the meeting. Thousands of employees from smaller offices and remote workers around the US have been ordered to the retailer’s corporate hubs, a move by the company to draw more people back to offices.

FAYETTEVILLE — Ryan Silverfield will be officially introduced as the 35th head coach of Arkansas football on Thursday, Dec. 4.
That’s when Silverfield will have his first press conference. The media session is scheduled for 1 p.m. Four hours later, Silverfield will be introduced to the public with a celebration inside the Walker Pavilion. That event is free to attend, with doors opening at 4 p.m.
Razorbacks athletic director Hunter Yurachek will also take part in Silverfield’s press conference with the local media.
Silverfield arrives in Arkansas after spending the previous decade at Memphis. He worked his way from assistant to head coach, taking over as the Tigers’ leader after Mike Norvell left for Florida State in 2019.
In six full seasons as the Memphis coach, Silverfield went 50-25, including a pair of 10-plus win seasons in 2023 and 2024. He earned bowl eligibility in all six years.
With eight wins this season, Memphis has posted 29 victories over the last three seasons to be among the nation’s top-15 programs in wins.
Before Memphis, Silverfield had stints at the high school, college and NFL ranks. He served as an assistant coach for the Detroit Lions and the Minnesota Vikings and spent time at Jacksonville, UCF, Toledo and Arizona State.
Arkansas craves the kind of consistent winning Silverfield experienced with the Tigers. The Hogs are coming off a 2-10 campaign under the combination of Pittman and interim coach Bobby Petrino. In their past three seasons, the Razorbacks have a combined record of 13-24 overall. That mark drops to 4-20 in the SEC.
