Our market in Michigan, it looks as though the layoffs are total politics and not just a removal of the Co manager position. Does any one else see the trend that they only got rid of more senior Co Mangers, and kept the recently promoted ones? In our market, they kept minorities (women, African Americans, G--’s and transgender) and let go of white men...
Also, recently they added Fresh Grocery position and all of those positions were filled with Women. I know a few years back, there was a big class action lawsuit because there was not enough women in management roles. But I feel it’s not fair to just go out and start laying off your men! I’m a firm supporter of equality in the work place. Therefore, I feel as though promotions, and layoffs should not be chosen based on s-x, color, or age.....
I’m in my 30’s I’ve been with the company for 15 years and worked my way up to the Co Manager position, it’s just very upsetting.
