Thread regarding Giant Eagle layoffs

They plan to cut more people and blame everyone but themselves

This place is going down faster than a prom queen on prom night. The leadership plans to raise prices, pay attention and you will see. Raise prices, what the heck? You are already the "most expensive date in town" as one of the senior leadership likes to say.

They plan to cut more people and blame everyone but themselves for the mess they are in. Let's face it, when you have senior merchandising leadership that has never worked in the stores and really only have their jobs because daddy was the former President of the company, you can't expect success. They try to blame deflation, they try to blame the people and in the end it is their lack of understanding on how to get the job done. They would rather go to hockey games and dinners with vendors than repair what is broken. Until they clean house along the whole wall of merchandising leadership, they are doomed. Starting with the former leader of GEBS, right on down the line. Their motto is Nepitism rules. I can't wait until the get bought out so there is real hope for a better day.

Wont be enough to offset the bad decisions from the morons that run the place. Wonder how much they had to give the Executive to postpone retirement? I hope he cashed in big!!! Bet they regret running all of the other ones off that actually knew what they were doing. Maybe they should buy them back out of retirement? That would be a smart move, so I doubt it will happen.

Home delivery must really be taking off. The local news said it is in such demand that they are having to ship items in from other store(s) to meet the demand. Alleluia.

Starting home delivery will be a game changer?!! Are you kidding me?! If giant eagle does this, they will louse it up and spend millions lousing it up! The leaders make all of the decisions, and have no clue!! Then there's the clowns running IT! Worthless and clueless! Have wasted millions on bad decisions but they talk the talk and Laura is a s---er to it! Sad watching the company crumble because of the idiots running it. But it goes as it goes!

Not only is the place going down like the prom queen but so are the sales numbers. Layoffs by the end of the Fiscal Year.

This company is never going to learn. Too much waste. Too many people in roles who don't know what they're doing. Getgo will never even be close to sheetz. Giant Eagle will not ever be Kroger or Walmart. Market District will never ever be Wegmans or Whole Foods. Market District Express seems to be going nowhere. Giant Eagle Express went nowhere. Only decent thing they got going is curbside express. They need to rethink their whole strategy. But by the time they do, it'll be too late

2020, Part Two? Just a cover story/phrase for more layoffs. If 2020, just a few years ago, was as remotely successful as they claim to be, what is the need for a Part Two?
