Topics regarding layoffs at Hy-Vee

Store managers

Store managers will treat their employees like garbage, work you until you die young. There are no raises for salary or hourly employees. Go work elsewhere. One store hired someone with no Hy-Vee experience and gave them a super higher up position... — read more 

So damn glad I’m gone

When did it become acceptable?

I keep hearing coworkers wanting to be laid off so they can collect unemployment. I don’t understand how that can be a better option than having a J-O-B. In my day unemployment was used as a last resort, but it seems to be the “rage” now. I still... — read more

Treat PT Like c--p

I know PT employees who work more than FT and are treated like c––p. They can't give PT FT status due to hours need cut but they can hire 37 new PT in one week.

How bad is attrition?

I work for another grocery chain and have been thinking of leaving. The attrition rate we have is astronomical due to toxic work environment, sparse pay, employee engagement and other things. Does this company also have high attrition? Can anyone... — read more 

So much hate

I see so much hate for the company here and it saddens me. Hy-Vee is not perfect, but it's not as bad as some people make it seem to be. I enjoy what I do and I like (most of) the team I work with. Customers are a pain but that’s the price of being... — read more

Best Place to Work? Not any more.

I've worked for Hy-Vee for more than 25 years. Our current leadership has a vision of being the best place to work. Working for this company was at one time fun and rewarding. Now it's just exhausting and frustrating. We were once a family oriented... — read more 

This is bad

It’s pretty bad when Wal-Mart just finished a restructure and pay protected everyone for a year to give them time to find a new position. Never thought they would treat employees better than Hy-Vee, but here we are. In fact from what I’ve heard from... — read more

Oh how funny it is that Hy-Vee is handing out masks and not requiring them. They are so far right that they are afraid what Supreme Leader Reynolds would say, do, or take away from the cooperate stockholders that they won’t mess with her. As a... — read more

Ponder me this. Randy announced in his weekly video that beginning September 1 they would offer part-time benefits to employees ONLY. I heard a "rumor" last Friday that more changes are on the horizon starting at the beginning of the year. To... — read more
