Most jobs involve a bit of push and pull, but few workers experience it so literally as the Walmart store employees who gather the items shoppers order online for pickup.
The company has new instructions for when to push the carts used to fill those orders and when to pull them, according to a recent memo obtained by Business Insider. It partially reverses an earlier policy that some workers pushed back against last week.
The moves show how Walmart, like Amazon before it, is navigating the critical balance between accelerating e-commerce operations and maintaining a safe environment for people.
