Morale at an all-time low
Reports from inside corporate state that morale is at its lowest point ever. The rise of Indian staffing, the random firing of long term local employees, completely misguided technology direction, delusions of grandeur in the executive team. Leave... — read more
Take the buyout
My friends, I voluntarily left GE in 2019 after 22 years of service. I’m in my early 40’s and I honestly have to tell you it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. I’m so much happier, my stress is so much lower, my paycheck so much higher, etc. I truly... — read more

Favoritism
It's interesting that the CPO who heads up HR is someone who clearly has favorites when that's the dept and the leader who should be the one to model fair practices. I guess that doesn't apply to the CPO. Maybe that's because the CPO won't be here... — read more

Cheaper workforce
I understand why they want a cheaper workforce. What is not quite clear is how they think that a cheaper workforce will fix the problems that this company has? I wouldn't want to disparage anyone or sound rude, but I think that such decisions can... — read more
Leadership does not think long term
If this leadership had any long term plans, the atmosphere here would be very different. Maybe I'm wrong, but they seem to have absolutely no vision for this company? Sometimes I think that we, the employees, care more about the future of the... — read more

This site is as b8g a joke as GE
Why, oh why would an anonymous site go through and delete posts that deal with people being fired, forced to train their Indian replacements in order to get severance, and then be shown the door. It's quite apparent that companies can have posts... — read more

Any Truth To Getgo Going Union
Is there any truth to the rumor Getgo employees are looking to unionize? I’ve been told a group of employees are in talks with union representatives.
They don't realize that that's how you sink
What I was experiencing here coming from the manager was a bunch of nonsense. Are these people even aware of where they work and what condition this company is in? With their behavior and horrible treatment of employees, they may briefly satisfy... — read more
How much longer do you plan to stay here?
I gave myself a deadline to leave in the next two months. Not only am I wasting my time here, I’m jeopardizing my health here.
Terribly understaffed
I don’t know what's worse, working while terribly understaffed, or the humiliation caused by the fact that Giant Eagle doesn’t even recognize that we’re understaffed all while relentlessly squeezing us to exhaustion!? They want us to work more... — read more

I thought it was better here
I made the biggest mistake when I applied here. I knew even then that this was far from an ideal company, but I really couldn't believe that the employees here were so devalued. Not only am I very underpaid in terms of workload, but the company... — read more
Why isn't more being made about sending jobs to India?
Why hasn't this been reported to the local news? These are jobs that should be filled by local folks. I thought Giant Eagle was about being a "good neighbor" but it's all about making the most money possible and to he-l with all the peons who they... — read more

Any word on layoffs?
Since it is very clear to me that employees are the ones who suffer because of bad decisions and bad management, I wonder how far we are from significant cuts? Does anyone have any info?
Hey Getgo.. Spend some money and get your parking lots cleared of snow
This company should be ashamed of it self. The parking lots at the Getgo weren’t even cleared of snow during or after the storm. Customers had to navigate 6 inches of snow to pump gas or walk into the store. The company will hire 30 + Vice Presidents... — read more
