People who have no idea what we do have decided that some of us are unnecessary and laid them off. Now the rest of us, who were already overworked as it is, have had to pick up their work as well. This is going to lead to more people getting burnt... — read more 

Well today is a big day for us. Time to see if we have a good finish to the quarter. If HyVee has a loss for the quarter do you think Randy will come down on everyone. Time to cut some more hours and layoff more employees. What other crazy ideas do... — read more

HyVee just had the biggest surge of record sales. Covid caused a huge surge of cash for grocery stores. All the restaurants were close so the only food source was grocery stores. Somehow Randy thought that the increase of sales would be forever and... — read more 

I don't think this is anywhere close to being done. I don't know what's next (it could be store closings, cutting of specific positions, even more hour cuts, or something else) but I know that next is coming. Everybody needs to be ready for the... — read more 

... how many of the 102 IT and Marketing employees whose jobs were eliminated have accepted the retail positions they were allegedly offered?

If times are so tough, then I propose instead of laying off hard-working employees, we cut pay and bonuses for executives, starting with Randy. We don't have to be the ones who always have to sacrifice when the going gets tough. Not that I expect... — read more 

131 or whatever layoffs will not save the company. No one is talking about vaccine profit. HV is up against huge numbers because of pharmacy the next year, but especially the next few months. Randy decided to shovel all that money into pet projects... — read more 

Hey department heads we need everyone to cut their hours ASAP, we have to cut hours to where it’s impossible to even keep it up and running no matter what department it is, but hey bottom line first over customer service and cleanliness

After almost six years here, I've seen a lot and became sick and tired of this company. Communication with employees has always been poor and I do not believe that anything will change except for the worse. I watch my coworkers leaving and not... — read more

Hy-Vee is going down, so what's keeping you here? Please be honest. For me, it's the fear of the unknown. I know this place is more or less doomed, but the idea of starting over after 15 years here is not too thrilling for me right now. I'm working... — read more

The most important thing is to be prepared. I've had a feeling for a long time that there might be layoffs.

Why doesn’t Randy just take away the store bonus program. He could save more jobs this way and grow out the expand the company quicker. I don’t think anyone should be eligible for a bonus when the company has lost money last months. Bonus should be... — read more

People shouldn't be learning through the grapevine or from the media that layoffs are happening!

Let's be honest here, Randy is a fanboy of the former administration and seems to think that is what leadership looks like. His "Make Hy-Vee the best place in America to work" slogan is one step away from being "Make Hy-Vee great again" and it can't... — read more 

With an appropriate severance, many of us would be more than happy to volunteer for a layoff. I know I would be, at least. Why not offer people a chance to leave while making sure that those who remain at Hy-Vee want to be here? This would be a... — read more
