SUNNYVALE — A Walmart deal to sell its Vudu stake to Fandango has triggered layoffs for 216 Walmart workers, but most of the positions are being rescued by Fandango — although some tech workers are being displaced, an official state government filing shows.

The job cuts transpired at a Walmart tech hub in Sunnyvale and affected workers at or near 840 W. California Ave. in Sunnyvale, according to a WARN notice that the retailing behemoth sent to the state’s Employment Development Department.

“Walmart is reducing its workforce at the Walmart office located at 840 West California Ave., Sunnyvale, as a result of the sale of Walmart’s interest in Vudu to Fandango Media,” Cassandra Richardson, senior director of human resources at Walmart, stated in an official notice delivered to the EDD.

The notice of the layoffs was officially received by the EDD on Oct. 14. The job cuts were effective on June 30. However, dozens of displaced workers remained on the Walmart payroll until Sept. 11, according to the WARN letter to the EDD.

Most of the workers who lost their jobs at Walmart are believed to have quickly found new positions at Fandango, which purchased Walmart’s stake in Vudu, an online video store that offers streaming movies and television shows.

“The buyer, Fandango, has offered positions to 158 employees,” Walmart stated in the filing.

The remaining 58 of the 216 affected workers have been given the opportunity to find a job with Walmart.

“We expect the employment separations to be permanent,” Walmart told the EDD in the WARN letter. “There is no union representative, and there are no bumping rights. However, all displaced employees have either been offered positions with the buyer or have the opportunity to apply for open positions at Walmart.”
