Thread regarding Sprouts Farmers Market Inc. layoffs

Need to be laid off - Balvinder

So much churn here, it is looking like mixer grinder on full speed. And perfect timing also with in-person work is starting soon, and now we have a new SVP with full “I have a PhD in retail/store” energy. Apparently he is telling us Jack himself recruited him. Very God. Very VIP. Please bow and clap.

But one small clarification: this Sprouts, not Walmart. Budget is not unlimited, people are not lining up to suffer, and nobody is waiting for some retail professor to come and save the day.

People already do not want to work with him. Existing employees are looking. New hires are ghosting after talking to him.

He is in for a rude awakening. Organic. Locally sourced, and very expensive

There is nothing wrong with being proud that the CEO recruited and hired you. That can be a legitimate path for finding strong talent. But repeatedly using it as proof of political capital with your team and peers is exhausting and honestly gives off a weird stalker feel. Get a clue! You’re not as good as you think, and this culture will humble you very quickly. He won’t last long here unless Jack and HR plans on changing the culture just to make room for him

Girl,I am not sure why that similar comment I replied to got removed, because where was the lie? He’s been a disaster, every Sprouite knows it, and now it looks like management is just removing comments to save face after a massive blunder.
