Cut the nepotism… just because you ran a successful store in Omaha doesn’t mean you know everything about other business disciplines.
The leadership at the top prioritizes working really hard…. Doesn’t matter if it’s efficient or effective. Just hard. Anyone not fr store background that tries to bring real change to corporate and help Hy-Vee evolve is shunned and silenced. They are uncomfortable with the fact other people might be smarter in certain things. A good leader would surround themselves with the best and smartest leaders in their respective areas. Not so with Hy-Vee. They are so bloated now with operations leadership making big $$$ that they will gut other areas to protect their buddies.
It’s funny because they aren’t doing great in Minneapolis and Wisconsin…. and it’ll be the same when or if they expand in other markets. Maybe once the expand is on fails the board will finally remove the cancer at the top. Randy, Darren and the rest.
