When did we turn into a joke?

Fire scanner
Fire the scanner specialist. All he does is sit in the office & take up space. “Pretends” to work on fixing a scale or computer. Takes down signs we put up. I can print my own g-d d tags.
Give up already!

Sounds like the buyer positions for all departments being eliminated
Not sure how it's going to work with bakery or prep but it doesn't sound like a great idea. I know store receivers are a couple years from being eliminated

Is amazon getting ready to get rid of Prep Foods?

Laid off after 15 years
I was laid off after 15 years and they tried to offer me my job back on my last day (plus 2 other peoples’ jobs lol). It was complete chaotic disorganization at the top. I took the generous severance and ran to my new, higher paying job. I feel... — read more

No one would recommend working here
Most of the people I've talked to would never advise anyone to work here. Maybe you would?? I don't believe so.

Used to be a great company, but really started going downhill about 8 years ago. It really started when instead of being the leaders in the industry, and we were, we started being the followers and made everyone our competition. We never worried... — read more

Things will never be like they used to be
Morale has been terrible for at least 5 years. It's a different company and will never change back. They pay a lot better then competition, unless you are lazy. That is why they are able to keep people. Either you are making good money compared... — read more
Remember when this was a fun place to work?
I'm a little nostalgic, although I know that I shouldn't be dwelling on the past too much, but look for a new job more intensively. Golden years will not return.
Holiday Tables
I asked our STSS about our holiday tables and he laughed at me.
