Is DG even a stable place to be anymore?

I’ve been with DG for a few years now, and the morale is in the basement. It feels like every month there’s another ‘restructuring’ announcement. You can only do more with less for so long before the whole thing starts to crack. I look at my peers and everyone is checked out, just counting down the days until they either find something new or get the pink slip. It’s not just the layoffs; it’s the constant uncertainty that’s really killing the culture. Does anyone actually feel like there’s a long-term plan here that involves keeping people employed, or are we just watching a slow-motion exit strategy? I’m seriously considering jumping ship to literally anywhere else, even if it’s a lateral move. At least I’d have some peace of mind that my role won't be dissolved by the end of the quarter. Curious if anyone else in middle management is feeling this level of burnout or if I’m just hitting my limit.

Honestly, it feels like the ship is taking on water while management just talks about rearranging the deck chairs. I've watched three store managers leave in the last year alone, and the payroll cuts are making it impossible to even keep the shelves stocked, let alone clean. Every single shift feels like a chaotic scramble to avoid being the one held accountable for corporate's impossible goals. The constant 'restructuring' is just a polite term for running us into the ground until we quit. Get out while you still have your sanity, because things aren't getting any better here.

I’ve been tracking their stock and the internal turnover for a while, and the writing is on the wall. They’ve squeezed every ounce of productivity they can out of the floor staff, and now there’s nothing left to cut but the bone. When you stop investing in your people and your infrastructure, failure becomes inevitable. It's not a place for a career anymore; it's a place for a temporary paycheck while you look for something with a future. Don't mistake the lack of communication for stability—it's usually just silence before the next round of bad news hits.
