Thread regarding Hy-Vee layoffs

I’m depressed all the time

I’m so stressed anymore that there are times when the alternative seems like the only way out. I can’t handle the constant changes & lack of help. I wish something would change but it’s not.

I left Hy-Vee after 7 years. I can honestly say that I’m so much happier with life now. I don’t go home and think about that place 24/7 or worry about impressing some manager. I still feel happy thinking about how I don’t have to deal with that mess anymore. I got a job at a factory making the same I made there ($22) and am about to start on as a welder making 25.50.

I’ve had multiple interviews at different places. No luck. That’s what is disheartening. I’m stuck at that he-l hole.

Stop letting work get you down this far. I’m the type of guy that hates change. I feared leaving thinking maybe I’m making a mistake. It took me 4 years to finally quit that company. I knew I wanted to leave in 2014 but didn’t find the courage to leave until 2019. The first job didn’t work out or the second but now I’m on my third and I have double my salary. In less that two years I will make 3 times what I did at HyVee. The best part is no weekends and I don’t work 50 to 55 hours every week anymore. I only work 36 hours a week now. Stop wasting your talent at HyVee. Start betting on yourself.

The thought of starting over somewhere else is scary, but there are thousands of us out here who can tell you that life is so much better on the other side. Hy-Vee's culture is toxic. I don't know anyone who left who regrets it. They only regret they didn't do it sooner.

Settle down? Are you kidding me? This had been going on for years. A period of turbulence is 3 or 4 months. Not 6 or 7 years. Try and stay strong but please start looking for a new job. You'll feel much better
