Topics regarding layoffs at Giant Eagle

Is corporate hemorrhaging employees?

I left about 3 months ago, and keep in touch with old coworkers. It seems like people are jumping ship, but it could just be the folks I know. Can anyone confirm more or less departures? Thanks

Any word on layoffs?

Since it is very clear to me that employees are the ones who suffer because of bad decisions and bad management, I wonder how far we are from significant cuts? Does anyone have any info?

Corporate employees mandated to take in-store shifts

Because GE can't staff or retain employees, the CTO, who happens to live out of state, has mandated corporate employees take retail shifts to help lighten the load...good sign for the company, right? Hahaha

So stressful

The holiday season has always been stressful here. I am getting older so I have less and less patience for this company, I am less and less motivated, but I would still say that this holiday season is more stressful than ever. What do you think?

Christmas Parties!?

I was talking to a friend who had the pleasure (sarcasm) of working a venue that hosted the Giant Eagle & San Francisco team for a Christmas Party. No big deal except that 1) they flew them all across the country to attend when company travel is... — read more

GE Execs - COVID vaccine - moving athletes to front

VOG

Not layoff related, but the VOG survey is the biggest piece of sh-t in the history of this company. We can’t get certain products in, but yet they still include the metric of “Availability of Products” as a component of the Retail Index. Really? ... — read more

What do you do?

At my location many employees keep making the same mistakes all the time but management doesn’t seem to care. We’ve all given feedback but what do you do when that feedback always gets ignored? I personally have even reached out to a coworker about... — read more

There’s a limit

Management gets upset with me all the time because I’m not ki----g myself to get as much work done as they want me too. I’ve been there and done that. Went out of my way on a daily basis and for what? No thanks were given other than “I need you to... — read more

How much effort do they want from employees?

I gave my best and still I received criticism. I just wonder what this company really wants from an employee? It never seems to be enough for them, no matter how hard we work. The only reasonable explanation is that they are putting pressure on us to... — read more 

Vaccine Post Deleted!?

WHY was my vaccine post deleted? I had a legitimate question about some employees being required to fill out a vaccine attestation form. What is Giant Eagle hiding/planning? You want to get vaccinated, by all means do it. Don't you dare try to... — read more

Newly Promoted Senior Vice President Supply Chain

Someone has got to know something! How does such an egotistical self-righteous guy get promoted after belittling people throughout his career and feeding off putting others down so much? The guy does nothing more than make inappropriate/offensive... — read more 

In spite of everything

I still enjoy my job and we have some loyal customers that I know by name. They tend to make my shift go by quicker and my coworkers and I get along great. The biggest thing I hate is the way management treats us. I know it’s not the best company to... — read more

Am I the only one?

I can’t remember the last time I would get home from work and have the energy to do the most mundane things. I feel so tired and over worked that my days off are spent catching up on sleep instead of enjoying life. Has anyone else had that problem... — read more 

Can layoffs be avoided?

Or at least, could their numbers be reduced? Unfortunately, either this company doesn’t care at all about the number of people losing their jobs or it doesn’t have any acceptable solution to at least reduce the number of layoffs. Basically, the... — read more

Upcoming layoffs?

Anyone have any insight on upcoming corporate, HR or recruiting layoffs or restructuring?

This makes me wonder

I left a year ago and I’m currently happily employed. I ran into my older manager and he asked if I or anyone I knew needed a job. I politely declined and told him most of the people I know are already employed. When I was there staffing seemed to be... — read more 

Cutting hours

Is it normal for someone to cut the hours from 40 to 14 in one week? I thought something like this could only happen to me, but now I see that there were more people to whom it happened. I don't intend to stay here for a minute longer than I have... — read more 

Why is this company stuck in the past?

Some say it’s stuck in the 90s and I totally agree. I don't understand why there is so little will to do something so that it would no longer be stuck in the past? Maybe they don’t have a vision or they don’t have the competence? Admittedly, maybe... — read more 

What is the situation like in your store?

I don't think I'll need a layoff at all because I hope to give notice next week. I thought the situation would start to improve, as the pandemic situation gets more under control, but no. There is no change for the better for the employees. I have... — read more 

Is there anyone that still enjoys it?

All the posts that I read are about current/former employees who hate working at GE. Honestly is there anyone besides myself who still enjoys it? Call me a glutton for punishment if you want, but I enjoy the hard work, it makes me feel like I’ve... — read more
