Everything I have read here is true. All of the wasted money on failing banners. Instead of staying true to what got them here, they greedily attempted to be something they are not and can never be.
Instead of being offered something somewhere else in the company when my position was deleted (as reported in their official press release), I was given a statement telling me that I was ineligible to work for Giant Eagle for 12 months...
I can't even bag groceries to support my family, yet on their website, there are countless store positions available.
What is not in the story is that in August, the company paid out $60 million in bonuses and 2 months later, let go over 400 loyal employees (with countless years of blind devotion) because they said they were losing too much money.
It is a shame and unfortunately hard working, loyal people are forced to find new jobs now. With the exception of the decision makers that put the company in the position it is in.
