Layoffs — 7-Eleven has pinned the overarching reason for the layoffs on their acquisition of Speedway. The company asserted that as with any merger or acquisition oftentimes layoffs and reorganization efforts are necessary. “We are just over a year into our integration process following the $21 billion Speedway acquisition and, as with any integration, our approach included assessing our combined organization structure,” said a 7-Eleven spokesperson. They also attributed letting go of 880 top executives in one fell swoop to the fact that they had delayed laying off anyone during the height of the pandemic. Thus, in a sense, they were playing catch up with the number of people they needed to let go. Not that that would inspire much confidence in anyone currently still working for the conglomerate.

Regardless of the company’s reasoning and defense of its actions, 880 people were still left blindsiding and without work. As a result, the morale of those left has been utterly decimated. “They said, ‘This is no longer 7-Eleven, this is 9/11. The people who are left here are just walking around in shock, and there’s still dust in the air,” an employee in the thick of it admitted.

Hacks

Whoa … the details either weren’t out or I missed the part in the first reports I saw that it wasn’t a few 7-Elevens with screens that got hacked with anti-US messaging last week, when US Speaker Nancy Pelosi made an official visit to that island nation.

It may have been as many as screens in some 6,000 stores.

When the politician made her visit a week ago reports started popping up about screens being compromised with vitriolic messaging that slammed and insulted Pelosi, with the Chinese government suspected of being behind the hacks.
