Topics regarding layoffs at Hy-Vee

HyVee is just a part time job anymore

Hyvee isn’t a bad company to work for. I’d say it’s far from the best company to work for. HyVee used to be a company you would work for part time in high school then end up being a career job because the company would treat you well. Now it’s just a... — read more

Novel idea

Here's a novel idea for HyVee...hire an outside company to do an employee survey. It would shed some light on what's really going on in their business. I know this would never happen as Randy has too big of an ego to do this. Plus, they would hate... — read more 

Hy-Vee is wasting its best resource

Employees are the ones who make this company great and who do the work that brings in the money. Treating us like cr-p is shortsighted. Not only is the company losing people to layoffs but now a bunch of employees is leaving because they don't want... — read more 

Randy should work at store level

Why doesn’t randy get a job at store level if he thinks it’s not beneath anyone? Let’s start a petition! I’m thinking the dish room! He should work at store level then maybe see how stupid his grandiose ideas are

Current management

I don’t know if there is anyone who hasn’t lost faith in our current management. The difference between current management and the one prior to current CEO is really huge and I mean that in a negative sense. I think everyone agrees?

Does anybody still trusts this leadership?

Or believes in Randy and thinks he's doing what's best for the company and not just what's best for him personally? When I look at Glassdoor, he has a 68% approval rating, which means that there are plenty of people who did believe in him. I'd like... — read more 

It's not easy to make the decision to leave

No, things are not great here but after ten years, it's not that easy to just say sc--w it and leave. When I joined HyVee I had high hopes and I thought it was a great fit for me. That turned out to mostly be untrue. So how am I to know the same... — read more 

The Grass is greener in the other side!

Hey All you Hy-vee folks I left over a year ago, probably the best decision I've made! Hyvee Is not the only grocer in town, or better yet go to a sublet company. Do your research in your area, theres plenty of good company's out there, CnC... — read more 

Questions

I’m an outsider that works with Hy-Vee, always enjoyed them and hate to see this happen. Things now seem to be getting worse. How bad are the store financials? Are sales down? Foot traffic down? I’m not surprised at the random spending stuff that is... — read more 

I said the last round was just the beginning

And I was proven right. Nobody is safe here anymore other than the C-suite. Everybody else should be spending every spare moment to prepare for the worst case scenario - either by finding a new job or tightening the belt and saving to make sure... — read more 

"Restructuring"...

DVP's are being demoted to District Store Directors...DSD's are being demoted to store managers...its like Black Wednesday all over again. Randy's latest message was there are 1000 jobs open at retail. They are holding a job fair at the corporate... — read more 

HyVee has became an unstable company.

Well it’s official HyVee is an unstable company. I’ve spent 20 years with HyVee and currently a store director. I have sacrificed my life for this career choice. I have sacrificed my family for this career choice. I know next year at this time I... — read more 

ROUND2

Here comes round 2 of the recent layoffs, yet we have store managers, and other salary people who sit in the office ALL DAY LONG and look at cameras, glad we are paying store managers 100+K to SIT DOWN and watch us like hawks…

More Layoffs

I heard something about a career fair for retail, all corporate employees being highly encouraged to attend, and 500 more positions being cut at corporate starting today. Anyone on here impacted?

We need to get back to our core business

I'm not saying we don't need to be innovative or adapt to a changing business environment, but we need to move in a direction closer to our core business of selling food and highly consumable household good first and foremost. Trying to sell high end... — read more 

Sorry to say... but it's over at hyvee

As long as Randy is the "acting" CEO of this company it is over. He is building to much debt in time where he should be banking cash. The expansion plans,Wahlbugers, the indy car nonsense,the superbowl commercials,etc. Think about this... many stores... — read more 

This is unpleasant to watch

All the suffering caused by nothing other than greed is hard to watch. This was a great company with a bright future but all that potential was wasted because of greed. Some people are never satisfied and they always want more, more, more. They don't... — read more 

Check if your nearby Target is hiring

If you work at the store level, check out your local Target for openings. I've been here for a few weeks and I can tell you I'm much happier than I was at Hy-Vee. The starting pay is good and the culture is much better and friendlier. If you're... — read more

Poor leadership

Poor leadership is Hy-Vee's biggest problem. It's not employees who think of themselves too highly to work at one of our stores, as they'd like us to believe or the lack of customers or whatever they can think of. It's incompetent leadership that... — read more 

Director position cut

I heard that Randy’s next goal is to stop paying store director huge salaries. He thinks they are all over paid. Stores aren’t performers up to his goal so why does he need to pay them so much money. I’m sure the high paying director days are coming... — read more 

New cuts first?

Did I hear Randy brought in a new CTO who today announced they are cutting all third parties and contractors? April numbers must have been bad. Good to know they cut their employees first though. Some of these contractors have a longer notice than... — read more

We work too hard

Hy-Vee has proven once and again how little it appreciates its employees even as we keep giving it our all and making sure this place is running. All of us should cut our productivity in half just so they see what would happen and how it would affect... — read more 

No, it's not our fault.

It is disgusting how much the employees are blamed for everything that is happening here. Yes, the company is sinking because we can’t do triple workloads with a smile on our face. (sarcasm) I'm already one foot out the door because I don't want to... — read more

Cutting hours and destroying departments

First let’s just comment on how Hy-Vee is being inundated with expensive products that will not sell. In each floral department they have this enormous Easter rabbit that is $250. They have to count that on their inventory along with these candles... — read more 

Cutting hours

Current employee here. Our store has been told to drastically cut hours to the point we have a bare bones staff. I'm talking one cashier on the schedule at all times. Less than 50 hours a week combined for dairy and frozen. Aisles Online is getting... — read more

Use it as an opportunity

I don't want to minimize what has happened to people who were affected by cuts, but if it had to happen then there was no better time for it. The job market is on fire, folks. People are getting sign-on bonuses in thousands, that’s how much companies... — read more 

I didn't apply for all those jobs

I am very sure that I would have left here immediately if I had known that I would be doing 3 or even 4 other jobs here besides the one I applied for. But all this is happening gradually, hy-vee is slowly testing the tolerance limit of its... — read more

This is how HyVee operates.

Ever hear of the WARN Act? It's an important protection for Iowa workers. Here's how it works, and how Hy-Vee might have gotten around its reporting requirements in their recent layoffs: You should look this article up on Facebook.

This is unconscionable

The sad part is I’ve work for HyVee for 10 years now. With the cost of living going up I can’t even afford to shop at my own store. Pretty bad when the company you work for pays you so low that you can even shop there. I think it may be time to move... — read more 

Why do they always set unrealistic goals?

Problems always stem from their arrogance and of course their greed. Instead of having a vision of what is possible and realistic to do to prevent further decline, the leading people here are setting unrealistic goals. They are completely out of... — read more
