Almost a year out from the layoffs last year around Thanksgiving. When does everyone think the first wave will be?
Still amazed how “americas favorite grocery store” gave the message right before the holidays.

@gt Any specific Big Boy names?
Big boys were in India this week taking in the fresh air and clean water.
Prediction: First round hits December 1st. These aren't jobs actually moving to India—they’re just functions the executive team views as expendable bloat. Then two days later on the Q3 earnings calls, they’ll package it as an "AI-driven transformation" to juice the stock price.
Ditto with "Transformation". Yael has everyone work 7 day weeks, 12 hour days through COVID. Then, on the week of Thanksgiving, gets rid of 78 employees.
I realize that they don't have Thanksgiving in Yael's homeland of France, but this is entirely insensitive.
India is going to be a while they still haven't even considered infrastructure integration which will take many months. I do expect a round before bonus given how soulless Greg is thus far.
hmmm...."americas favorite grocery store"
moving jobs to India, layoff american employees
retain H1B visa holders, layoff american employees
leaders who failed to deliver projects, get promotions and layoff american employees
don't want american employees, but want american customers
corporate responsibility is only tied to leadership bonuses
where is Kroger's responsibility to country, THE USA?
shame for Kroger to claim as "americas favorite grocery store"
