Pros

The stock has been doing well, so "comp" is about it.

Cons

Our CEO, who can’t keep his mouth shut during quarterly shareholder meetings, is insistent on following other Fortune 500 CEOs on his RTO stance instead of actually making Chewy a great place to work.

He has such a way with words: “All team members will be in the office 3 days a week, but don’t worry, we only plan to go up to 4 days a week starting next year, not five.”

What a joke. The company is super concerned about margins being a public company but thinks expanding its office space is the way to go rather than dumping it. Most teams are spread across all four offices, so the touted “collaboration benefit” and “non-Zoom-first approach” just isn’t there.

Advice to Management

Get off your high horse on RTO. Stop saying Chewy values “flexibility”; four days a week isn’t flexible.

As an employee and shareholder of Chewy, increase our margins by getting rid of the useless office space.
