Like its iconic retro sign, 7-Eleven is known for hot dogs on roller grills and Slurpees—especially when they're free on July 11 every year. But just last week, the parent company of the convenience store, Seven & i Holdings, announced that it would... — read more

If you're on the fence, realize that many long-term VP's are CHOOSING to leave, which means they see the company going the wrong way. These were the people driving the decisions of who was laid off previously and now they are leaving. Bad news, bad... — read more 

Got a text over the weekend from a recruiter to see if I want to come back as an SLC- Store Leader Coach at 30k less than what I made as a FC. Really??? You laid us off due to "restructuring" and can't even match what we made as FCs??? Come on Joe--... — read more 

Why are Area Leaders going back to a company that laid you off? I’ve seen at least 3 or 4 from the North Atlantic Zone, It seems like a d-mb move. You really think that they won’t lay you off again???

Stay strong and leave 7-Eleven long gone. Former employee here, and I can tell you they don't care. They want their money and will tell you false statements of moving you up and it never happens. All they care about is their piece of the pie, while... — read more 

I'm 55. I've been applying since I was laid off and I'm yet to get an interview. All the jobs I applied for I'm either qualified or overqualified for. I don't understand what's going on, other than maybe my age being a deterrent. Are others having... — read more 

What’s the trick to recruiting people after you’ve just laid off nearly 900?

A quick Google search will show this stands for Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Notice where companies with over 100 employees have to file with the state to give employees 60 days notice. It varies by state but wasn't sure if 7E... — read more 

Never before have I heard from so many they're looking to leave. I think people are truly shaken up and upset by what has happened and they want to move on before something similar happens again. I can see 7-Eleven losing a lot of good people over... — read more 

I was laid off in 2019 and I know how hard it is for many, so I came here just to give a little support, if it means anything to anyone. The layoff was a big shock for me at the time because I didn't expect it at all and I thought it was the worst... — read more 

First of all, I think that a good management would try to find another solution. But it seems that this management is not even trying to find another solution besides cuts. What's even more problematic is that so many outstanding performers have... — read more 

The worst part is some of the mid-level and senior level leaders who continue to survive at SEI. Just gross. The culture points are aspirational at best. It’s a bloated bureaucracy, siloed and toxic. I was ejected in 2019 and it was a blessing. I... — read more

I survived the layoffs at 7-Eleven. Morale is atrocious. Managers and Directors openly badmouthing the senior leadership...and rightfully so. Once the layoffs started, I immediately went to work searching for new remote employment, since the... — read more 

As someone who quit working for the company just over a year ago, let me just offer these words of encouragement: you will land somewhere better. Working at 7-Eleven teaches you how to be tough and to have a thick skin… wherever you land you will... — read more 

Typically, I am not one for politics but will make an exception this one time. 7-Eleven tends to operate their stores in regions that are more urban, diverse, and liberal-leaning than in suburban area… how else would they get away with such predatory... — read more

What’s fair severance pay if there wasn’t any WARN notice? DOL says 60 days in advance is a minimum for mass layoffs off more than 500 employees in a 6 month period. Without proper WARN notice to employees they should be paying minimum 60 days? — read more 

What a total cluster *^%#. People with decades of service kicked to the curb with no warning. Contractor accounts turned off mid meetings with no notice. 7-eleven treats employees poorly and contractors with disdain. They can try to say it was... — read more

Anyone find it ironic that the new required monthly Compass Training course is on: “Empathy”?! What a freaking joke! I just can’t… lol Time for a mass exodus of Area Leaders

Does anyone know how they came up with who to cut? Particularly AL level? I feel discriminated. Age or time with company? Please comment with subgroup size and years of service. Maybe we can find out collectively unless someone here already knows.

I'm still safe, but these cuts are a big lesson to me that one should always, absolutely always look for better options. Top dogs did not show the slightest empathy towards the affected ones, which was to be expected because they only care about... — read more 

Imagine that he was your commanding officer sending you out to be slaughtered but he gives that order while hiding and never showing his face. So much for touting his military leadership skills and West Point degree.

I pretty much knew that something bad was brewing and luckily, I was preparing in case it came to this. Somehow I had a feeling that there would be cuts. However, when I now recall how much the boss assured us that everything would be fine, I can't... — read more 

If you hadn't been laid off, how much longer would you have stayed here? I hope to find another option before they show me the door.
