Starting to hear rumors. And there are a bunch of weird meetings scheduled this week. Does anyone have any info?

Buyouts to be announced tomorrow. Let's hear your thoughts/comments below...

It’s been reported several US companies are giving its employees inflation bonuses to help with the rising cost of items of the last few months. Does anyone know if Giant Eagle is considering do this for employees?

And who is the first to learn about it? I'm new (less than a year) so I don't know how the process works. However, several managers left my store in the last month which has me worried that they might have known something before the rest of us. Is... —  read more 

I honestly think they don’t want to hire new employees. I truly believe they are trying to save money by keeping the staffing levels low and getting more work out of the current employees. Just think about it. They took the hiring jobs away from the... —  read more 

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 

What a shame. Giant Eagle/Getgo is so desperate to fill salary leader positions they are paying new hire more money then what current and long time salary employees are being paid. How horrible that is. The company once again treats the current and... —  read more 

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 

Buyouts were just a way to get rid of the long tenured (read: loyal) people who are over the age of 40+ so they can hire more people in India for a lower wage.

Great news if your a salary employee for Giant Eagle. The 2022 weekly raises have been approved. That’s right. APPROVED. It was a tough battle but once again the $9.60 (.24cent) weekly raises are about to become reality. It was definitely a hard... —  read more 

Did anyone get on the call yesterday about the buyouts and hear that if they don't get enough people to take the buyout, there will be layoffs?

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 

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 

Ok.. I’m I the only one who has noticed that Giant Eagle and Getgo are price gouging. Prices at both places are well above the competition. Now I know why the parking lots at Giant Eagle and Getgo are empty. And all gas stations are price gouging... —  read more 

Does anyone know if Giant Eagle corporate employees are currently back working in the office or are they still working from home? I currently work in a retail location as a salary leader and the price of gas is ki----g me. If corporate employees are... —  read more 

https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1i93jyAY I know the CTO brought a lot of his old Kroger buddies over to GE.

Okay, give to to me straight. Two departures within mere weeks of each other. Both leaving for “personal reasons”? What’s up?

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 

Just when I thought Giant Eagle couldn't get ANY lower, it appears that they have an agreement put in place to hire migrants, immigrants, who can barely say two whole sentences in English and this is at store level!!! Thank you corporations of... —  read more 

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 

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.

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 

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 

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.

I left about 3 months ago, and keep in touch with old coworkers. It seems like people are jumping ship, but it could just be the folks I know. Can anyone confirm more or less departures? Thanks

The local news just had a story with video about a 67 year old female Getgo employee who was attacked while working at a local Pittsburgh Getgo. How sad is that. The women is probably making a little over minimum wage and while working for Getgo she... —  read more 

That’s right! If you are a salary leader for Getgo or Wetgo you need to quit your job and re-apply for you position. The reason you need to do this is all new salary leaders who are currently being hired are receiving between $7,000 and $10,000 more... —  read more 

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 

You have no reason to still be working at Giant Eagle. Once I decided to leave, it took me all of two weeks to find a new and better job! It's good out there right now. It's really good. I know many may be scared to leave but you have no reason! At... —  read more 

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?

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 

Because GE can't staff or retain employees, the CTO, who happens to live out of state, has mandated corporate employees take retail shifts to help lighten the load...good sign for the company, right? Hahaha

How many more executives can they possibly hire? Are there anymore left for other company’s to employ, or have we taken every last one on the planet? They have honestly gone mad and this place has become amuck, amuck I tell you, with rampant... —  read more 

Unbelievable! Apparently “Exempt” Getgo salary managers in the state of Indiana were taken advantage of and forced to do non management jobs and are now entitled to overtime. Crazy! And Salary manager for Getgo or Giant Eagle knows this takes place... —  read more 

I was talking to a friend who had the pleasure (sarcasm) of working a venue that hosted the Giant Eagle & San Francisco team for a Christmas Party. No big deal except that 1) they flew them all across the country to attend when company travel is... —  read more 

Not layoff related, but the VOG survey is the biggest piece of sh-t in the history of this company. We can’t get certain products in, but yet they still include the metric of “Availability of Products” as a component of the Retail Index. Really? ... —  read more 

The holiday season has always been stressful here. I am getting older so I have less and less patience for this company, I am less and less motivated, but I would still say that this holiday season is more stressful than ever. What do you think?

Thank you Giant Eagle for making Christmas all about making money for the company and not about family. When they closed on Thanksgiving they made sure the media knew they were closing so team members could spent time with the family. I wonder what... —  read more
