Thread regarding ALDI layoffs

Aldi appears to be quietly reducing its workforce

The company has stopped distributing the usual HR emails that announce staffing changes—including new hires, department transfers, and departures. Ex-staff members' reports suggest they are conducting retroactive reviews going back as far as six months to find any grounds for termination. This approach seems aimed at downsizing the buying team without drawing attention, as those who have been let go are not being replaced. It’s a disheartening tactic that reflects the darker side of corporate cost-cutting. Don't let Aldi fool you; they are just as greedy as any other corporation.

Reposting this from @b9h+1jkrng652 because it's hits the nail on the head.

@63k I’m in Batavia, we’re all freaked out. Do you have a follow up meeting on your calendar for tomorrow morning?

I'm at the Aurora office and it's not looking good for the buying department.
Another meeting about lay offs is happening tomorrow :/

This is happening to other US NBuying departments also. They are pulling office badge swipe data from over a year ago, trying to cut anyone and everyone they can. If they get your for anything, they also seem to be fighting unemployment. This company has slowly changed into such a toxic place to be over the years.

More UK layoffs. 2 distribution centres to close. Staff being offered a bonus to stay till end of 2026 rather than take redundancy now as replacement distribution centre won't be ready until then. Wonder if the regional offices will also close
