Thread regarding Giant Eagle layoffs

And now they make daddies girl the chairman of the board? Honest to baby Jesus and his Almighty, what a spiraling sh-t storm of a company they are.

May god have mercy on our soles cuz the devil be signing our checks!

This company resembles that of the relationship between Medicare and United States Government where Medicare bills the government $1,375.67 for an insulin syringe that costs only $1.23.

Meaning they are paying an executive $412,745 a year who’s only qualified to be making $67,428 annually in real world money.

Paying out bonuses in the hundreds of thousands dollars while your entry level employees living below the poverty line should be illegal

I say we make this go viral!

I'm at corporate they just created a new position executive vp of keeping giant eagles social media positive. Pay is 400k a year plus expense account apply on workday!

Start sharing this forum on social media. Make a fake account if you have to. Post it on giant eagles Facebook posts. Publicly shame them!

Truth

You’ve got to be kidding me right? How in the he-l can they pay these mo--ns an astrological amount of money and then bonuses that pay our years of my annual income?

It’s no wonder their retail employees live below the poverty line while these m’fers shove their mouths full of our dignity!

The world is going to he-l real quick and luckily Giant Eagle is operating the shuttle to get there, but don’t forget to thank them!

Do what I do. Tell everyone why prices at Giant Eagle are so high. Let them know where the money is going.

To further the bonus reply from below, when I was in HR I saw first hand the special "family" bonus structure as well (add and additional 80k to your bonus, wth). Who knew that high-end Gannon degree would pay off so well for both wife AND husband?!

Yes, the third generation is feeding at the trough.

No wonder they are constantly cutting retail hours..

And the retail team members start out at $11…. Slave Labor

I see one VERY important topic that has yet to surface.

Enter Stage Left

EXECUTIVE BONUS PROGRAM!

Not only are you making ungodly money raping the company, corporate expense account, credit card without a limit, discretionary spending account (which I’ll come back to), but they also receive TWICE THEIR SALARY every other year in what’s called the Executive Bonus Program. So let’s say your making $400,000 a year as our newly promoted Vice President of Customer Experience (or some stupid sh-t like that), on EXECUTIVE BONUS years he will receive an $800,000 when the company magically achieves max bonus! Nobody’s talking about that I see, probably because the company keeps it ridiculously quiet as it will upset their poverty level retail employees!

Back to the discretionary spending account. A handful of years back our then newly hired technology executive from eBay was fired when Laura found out he spend $250,000 (Almost 23,000 retail labor hours!!) to redecorate his office! Clearly the limit was only $249,000! Seriously, that $250k would have paid for 568 FULL TIME new hires for an entire week! (250,000 divided by $11 an hour average rate at the time).

What an awesome bunch of Lizard Lips, as Clark W Grizwald would say, we have steering this company into ground. It’s true, the 3rd generation is always the one who bankrupts their family business.

A bunch of new Vice Presidents while keeping starting wages at $12 an hour.

Who did they hire now?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.. Giant Eagle is a horrible company to work for. Just read all the posts in this website about this company. No other company has this many negative responses. Don’t apply to work there and encourage others not to.

ITS A TRAIN WRECK

Apply at the Butler Refrigerated meats facility. You’ll start out around $16 per hour. Once you get in the union, you’ll be over $20 / hr. That’s when the fun begins. You can chew tobacco and sp-t your chew on the floors and boxes of product throughout the facility. You can hide in the bathroom for 30 minutes, take excessive smoke breaks, especially on 1st shift. You’ll also only pay less than $20 per week for your top tier health insurance that includes your family. You are also going to receive a weekly incentive that averages from $40-$120. This is dependent upon your selection average or high lift percentage. If you work on day turn, don’t worry about your percentage. You don’t have to leave the break room until 5:45 am, even though your shift started at 5 am. You can scan off the system before your 15 minute scheduled break. While your outside smoking or watching tv for 45 minutes, that time won’t be held against your standard. If any of the directors knew how to look in the labor management system, several people would be terminated for stealing time on a daily basis. 1st shift also receives a $1200 Xmas bonus every year.

Giant Eagle is so top heavy with executives no wonder retail employees only make $11 an hour… So sad how this company has based its business on low wages for the last 30 plus years.

Listen peons, you live to please us senior managers. The only reason we give you jobs is for entertainment. Dance for us as we clap.

You have to remember. All of the Vice Presidents and Executive Vice Presidents they are hiring are all bottom of the barrel rejects from Walmart and other big retail companies. The companies Giant Eagle wants to be

They can spend on the upper and some middle management, but can not afford the property fees at some locations.
The year is 2026, there are 75 upper and middle managers and 11 retail locations left.

The hirings tell you how much profit they are making. And retail team members make $11 an hour.. No wonder they can’t hire anyone
