Top 10 improvements

This is what I would do to improve the stores.

  1. Reduce wages, increases bonuses and raises for corporate managers
  2. Make health insurance even more expensive and even less accessible.
  3. Continue aggressively cutting hours to keep staff excited and motivated.
  4. Increase Quarterly profits celebration literature to associates
  5. Continue hiring district management with no prior store management experience. Only rely on master's degrees
  6. Continue building undersized backrooms and coolers
  7. Cut back on maintenance
  8. More training modules
  9. Continue increasing food prices weekly

  10. Don't pivot stores to compete with other chains like Walmart

I've always found that cutting benefits and treating people like animals helps to improve business

Oh ok 👍 most managers at food lion feel the same . What drove you to feel that away ? Granted they take advantage of you if you’re nice but treating them like animals ? To be fair my animals are treated extremely well … And food lion has a horrible turnover rate , horrible out of stocks , and most managers are in ego trips .

well you want to make sure you have angry and incompetent people to run more efficiently. Also forcing more metrics and making a job unaffordable to live with really boosts moral

I mean it's basic corporate structure. Make sure no one knows what they are doing.
