They have allocated $15M for this. If they don’t get to that number with the voluntary buyouts, “involuntaries” are lined up next.
Big Change...Big Rumors...
But this site is quiet. Either nobody uses this site anymore, or the people who post here are not connected and don't know anything. Anyways, stay tuned.

Today
I feel bad for all the people that lost their jobs today. When will leadership realize that those people are just not numbers. They have families and have dedicated their life, career to Giant Eagle. Shame on you B and J for being so careless about... — read more
Layoffs in August
Anyone hearing about layoffs happening as soon as August? If so, what do you know?
HR still a mess?
Is HR leadership still up to their old shenanigans? Pushing good associates out and creating an overall unsafe environment? Or has all of HR been outsourced to India?
Finally Some GREAT NEWS!
So it looks like Wegmans is interested in the Cranberry area for a new store. It is about time. If this happens it will just be a matter of time before Wegmans moves into Pittsburgh.
New Headquarters
How is the new Headquarters working out? Why does the IT department not have any office space in Cranberry? Looks like that will be 100% offshore?
Happy Easter
To everyone that has to work...Have a beautiful Easter weekend. I already know the bosses at your location will probably NEVER say this and or simply acknowledge your existence! I'm pretty sure they WILL under schedule like at my location because... — read more
New HQ Coming Soon?
Haven't heard a lot on here about the new HQ. Is it still happening? Been awfully quiet around here. Guessing all the whiners left the company? Find it motivating that the "leaders" want to run the company into the ground in-person. CEO probably... — read more
Giant Eagle Giving Away $10,000 In Perks to 10 People But They…..
How nice. Giant Eagle is giving 10 people $10,000 in perks but they don’t even pay a living wage to its store employees. You know the company is sad when the customers come before the employees
I tried...
I finally got my opportunity of a lifetime, moving up from part-time employee to full-time employee assistant manager. I was so excited, I had a really good interview however when I got the offer back I was disappointed. It would only be a raise of... — read more
HR is a mess!
While it's great that the new CEO is someone who has worked for the company his entire life, why won't he change the toxic leadership in HR? And he knows how bad they are because multiple people have gone to him to tell him. I realize that the... — read more
How Great! I saved $4.00 on gas at Getgo…. Wait what??
I recently shopped at Giant Eagle and earned what would be .20 cents off per gallon of gas. I decided to use my fuel perks at Getgo and I saved $3.60 off my total. I thought that was pretty good until I spoke with my co-worker. My co-worker had me... — read more
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU GIANT EAGLE
On Saturday Dec 23 our family was holding our Christmas celebration. At noon I realized I still needed 2 items. Knowing the day before Christmas Eve is the busiest shopping day at a grocery store I was very hesitant about running to Giant Eagle for... — read more
Why do they even make this comment?
Why do higher ups, Getgo district leaders etc visit stores during the Christmas holidays and they always say “I hope you get some time off during the holiday”. Are they that stupid not to realize I’ll be working Christmas Eve. I’ll be doing a shift... — read more

You don't have to stay locked in to GE if you are not happy
Giant Eagle (back to the days of david) was built off of the backs of some very hard working people who many of times were creative and got things done. They always got a lot done with small teams and while rarely leading the industry with ideas, was... — read more
Rumors of more cuts
I've been hearing too many rumors of more cuts coming our way for it to be ignored. Be smart and prepare as best as you can (spruce up your resume, start networking, minimize your spending...) I truly hope I'm wrong about this, but it's still better... — read more

HR is a mess
Did I read in another comment that CPO JL is about to leave? Can't be soon enough. What she and her bestie from Canada (or is it Australia?) has done is disgusting. Working in HR is not the same anymore and it's sad. Just hoping I can wait it out... — read more

Will Price Lock Save Giant Eagle?
Heck no. It is nothing more then a smoke screen. Even with the “So Called” price drops the prices are still higher at Giant Eagle. If you haven’t tried a competitor I recommend you do. You will be amazed at the price difference.
Changes (Open Thread to Discuss)
Watch the news...
What's Going on w/Your Prices?
I see someone posted about this below, but as someone who does NOT work for the company (rather another Pgh based company on this site) thought I'd jump over here to ask what's up with your prices? I always knew Giant Eagle wasn't cheap but I can't... — read more
