Lidl reviews

We’ve been through 3 layoffs in the past year. The majority of those affected by the layoffs last week were women and minorities. Their health insurance was canceled effective that day. Current CEO is completely out of touch and by far the worst of the 5 (?) we’ve had. When asked what his favorite Lidl location was (in a company-wide town hall) he said “the one closest to my house in the Hamptons” . SIR the majority of people at this company make ~$20 an hour. His walk up song is “American idiot” and he hasn’t been proved wrong. His “hand picked, A-team” VPs refuse to speak with anyone under a director level and they just fired most of the directors.

I was an one of a quick succession of Area Managers in the Northfleet region to get a job elsewhere after their behaviour. The previous long term Area Managers had personal / mental health issues. Instead of being helped they were bullied out their jobs- Good job and loyalty to employees HR and seniors!! HR are meant to be impartial but tell senior managers confidential information which gives them ammunition to bully the vulnerable. Health and Safety for staff is non existent- how Lidl never got fined or questioned by authorities during COVID is beyond me when a worker passed away and loads of staff caught it at once in a particular store. The conditions the staff had to work in was appalling. Work / Life balance non existent as well.
