Hy-Vee announces layoffs as company phases "COVID projects"

• The majority of the people who were terminated were offered jobs in the grocery stores, she said. But those positions and wages may have differed from their initial job.

Between the lines: Potthoff declined to share what departments were reduced, but one former employee who posted on LinkedIn about their termination Wednesday came from a corporate position.

• Employees who reported layoffs to KCCI were in corporate and technology roles, according to the TV station.

Of note: Separate from the layoffs, Hy-Vee is also reducing the number of stores that offer Aisles Online services, like curbside pickup.

• The change comes as the company faces a worker shortage in its retail stores.
