Greenwood Capital President and CIO Walter Todd joined ‘Mornings with Maria’ to discuss the state of the U.S. economy as Walmart closes 23 stores in 2023.
Walmart executives went head-to-head with interns in a recent company softball game.
CEO Doug McMillon posted Tuesday about the game on LinkedIn, thanking the interns for working for the retailer for the summer. His post included a photo of the interns and executives gathered around a trophy on the softball field.
“The Interns v. Executives softball game is a fun tradition that goes back decades,” he wrote. This year the Execs got the W, with a decisive 18-5 victory.”
In the picture, part of the group donned white shirts with “Interns” printed on the front. The executives, meanwhile, wore blue shirts identifying them as such.
