They have allocated $15M for this. If they don’t get to that number with the voluntary buyouts, “involuntaries” are lined up next.

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?

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

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

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

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.

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
