Edeker needs to go
I wonder what movie Edeker watched that made him decide to burn the ships and fire a bunch of loyal lifers. But you know what's going to happen next. In three months the executive team is all going to get new titles and a $25,000 raise and we're... — read more
Though you were all Stock Holders
Quick Question: As employee owners & stock holders why have you guys not voted your CEO out? Why are the stock holders letting your CEO run the company into the ground as you say he is? Just curious.
(poll) New CEO Needed (upvote if yes, downvote if no)
you can use up and down arrows to vote, you need to open this message and it'll be left to the subject header of the message, looks like V ^
How did we get here?
6 months ago, our competition across the street laid off many employees... Our director was quick to respond to us and remind us how that is not Hy-Vee’s way. If your store closes, they find you a home, layoffs and cutting pay was not an option... — read more

Can't have a helpful smile in every isle when they're all gone
What's the point in even shopping at Hy-vee anymore when its just like every other corporate grocery store? Customer service was the thing we had and now you're slowly trashing that so that we can 'compete' with the future of grocery stores. Its... — read more

Bad decisions by Hy-Vee

RANDY WILL MAKE MILLIONS THIS YEAR...
While we sit back and lose our jobs and health insurance. Corporate greed. Hy-Vee is as greedy as Walmart... if they could pay their employees nothing they would.
Hy-Vee doesn’t care about you
They care about how much money you make them. All they see $$$. Nobody is safe. Find a new job while you’re still employed, then quit on the spot when they cut your pay. Working at Hyvee will only get worse

Hy-Vee corporate is a joke. If Hy-Vee workers want a good workplace they need a union

Hy-Vee has gained a reputation for being overpriced
