Where can I find the truth?
Replacement for market grills
Market grill are going to turn into McDowells. Not McDonald’s. McDowells have the Golden Arch. McDonalds has the golden arches. He is getting Eddie Murphy to be the new spokesman for McDowells.
HyVee Seasons magazine
Our store throws HUNDREDS of these things away every month. Boxes upon boxes! How much money is being wasted on this???
Stop IT.
Most of the “facts” posted here are false and are causing damage to real people. Hy-Vee is NOT in danger of bankruptcy. Hy-Vee is being sold. Yes, they are reorganizing and making significant changes. Yes, many employees have lost their job... — read more
Burn the Ships
Someone please explain. Did RE actually say this? "Burn the Ships"????
Put a fork in it, Hy-vee is done
Hyvee needs about $100 million to stay liquid for the next 90 days. They won't get that kind of cash from their little step child, Midwest Heritage bank, and after today's meltdown on Wall Street, it's doubtful they can get it there either. Hang... — read more
Let's calm down and think...
First, there are two main reasons to do what Hy-Vee has been doing. They are in financial trouble They are preparing to be bought by another company Second, closing the fulfilment centers makes zero sense in the grand scheme. Even if... — read more
Hy-Vee will never be Wal-Mart... So, stop trying...
Hy-Vee was a special company because the corporate office supported the stores. Now the corporate office runs the stores. I notice that it looks like even pricing is being governed in WDM. It does not look like store management has creative... — read more

I’ve been following the long discussion thread on layoffs we have @OP+13vCdk9o and thelayoff.com/t/13vCdk9o and I wanted to see if we can start another discussion on predicting layoffs. So, what do you think? How big will the layoffs be, who will be... — read more
The way Hyvee treats their employees
I want to say I think it’s sad that Hyvee doesn’t care about all their employees the same way. They don’t care about the part timers at all. They make them do whatever they want and they change their hours anytime they want, but do they this to full... — read more
Hyvee Facebook
Is there a hyvee facebook discussion group that I can join? If yes, would someone be able to point me to it?
One of the saddest weeks for this company

Monday Meeting
Today is the mass FT meeting for employees. Sad they don't care about PT and excluded them from this. You would think employee owned ALL would be involved to hear what is happening. Did you have your meeting? What was discussed?
HyVee must be reading this site.
Did anyone else notice Wahlburgers ad on this link. Anybody know how to post this site to KCCI or WHO tv without exposing your name on their sites. RE and company are definitely trying to catch the people exposing their greed.

Strange things are happening in the Market Grilles...are they closing? Staff is worried.
Something is not right
I work for Hy-Vee and have for over 20 years, all at the same location. Several years ago, when it was announced they were going to construct Market Grille restaurant's in a large number of stores, I myself, and everyone else, basically said " oh... — read more
Flood of Facebook post recently about how great certain employees are.

Class action lawsuit
With all that has happened and the stories we are hearing from our peers, is there anything that we can do legally? Can we file a lawsuit? I would never have thought this way before but at this point Hy Vee certainly doesn’t care about us.
A new start!
After 11yrs of service I was "let go" from Hy-Vee on Tuesday 3/2 from my FT position in the meat department. I was "graciously" given 2 weeks severance and told I could come back as PT but NOT in the meat dept. Along that lines, a 30yr Hyvee... — read more
Check your Kronos vacation hours
Previous 45 hour people. Check your vacation. They have adjusted your remaining hours down to 40. It was my understanding that you earn your vacation based on the previous years hours. This is in my opinion pure theft. Employees who were able to... — read more

Is This Only Affecting Retail?
Have any of the subsidiaries faced cuts? PDI? Lomar? FDI? D&D? Chariton? Cherokee? Corporate Office? Anyone out there? I know FUlfillment Centers are Closing but they are technically retail. Retail only? For now?
