For the second time in less than a month, Kroger has announced an undisclosed number of layoffs. On Thursday, the grocer said the lost jobs included positions at its prized consumer insights subsidiary 84.51.

The irony here:
Do you know who doesn't shop at Kroger?
People who don't live in the United States.
Do you know who else doesn't shop at Kroger?
Laid off Kroger employees.
The week after the layoffs, MM told us that they'd signed a 5 YEAR contract with Tech Mahindra to use roughly 150 of their employees in India at $10k/year each. Americans can't complete with that.
Nobody is happy with this, and I expect a mass exodus in months ahead.
