Guess he couldn’t handle the heat of inflation, I mean greed.
But he’s a ‘rich’ target and can now retire if he wishes.
So Weston takes the payout, leaves, and he and the company get to pretend it’s altruistic I guess?
His family owns the company , so I doubt he went very far. Who was put in charge another family member?
I gather from this report and headline that he hasn’t stepped down as CEO, so what difference does it make really.. a noisy shuffling of deck chairs signifying nothing
Maybe he stepped down from that position, but is he still on the payroll and getting massive bonus payments?
We can bet that he’s getting a massive Buh Bye package, (of which I am sure he is worthy 😉)
He probably has shares in the company, so would get dividends
Lots of resignation as of lately…🤔
curious to know what his retirement package will be worth… guarantee it will be outrageous.
Yeah, it goes from one pot right into another.
Alright great…let me finally be able to use all those millions of dollars 👌
Since I have to pack all my own groceries at the store, and buy my own bags at the store, do I work for Loblaw’s now?
Lmao
I had to look at this twice before I realized it didn’t say that Charlebois was stepping in. These two names are so entrenched now I wouldn’t have been shocked if he was going to be the new CEO.
Oh no… what would Jagmeet have to call his new proposal to tax the rich after?! 😬😬😬
Jeez. Nobody got fined for price fixing. Just more incentives for grocery chains to price fix…
When is Trudeau going to resign? Thats the real question. He has made a complete mess of Canada.
it can’t be fixed the wealthy rule
So PP talks about gate keepers in government but is strangely silent about grocery gatekeepers like Galen Weston.
Leave Pierre out of this! This countries mess is do to one person and one person only!
❤
Nice.
Got his money, now trying to run off with it.
Generally you only step down when you are guilty of something!
Canada needs a Kroger! More competition!
If I were Galen, I would step down completely from all positions and retire to his private estate with the last full-sized Loblaw’s Lucy doll and a retro book of redeemable green stamps and humble himself before his ancestors.
