Two longtime Market Basket Executives fired amid company turmoil
The family drama at Market Basket escalated this week as two longtime executives were terminated last week. Joe Schmidt, the director of operations, and Tom Gordon, the grocery director, were fired by the board of the grocery chain for “insubordination, making false and derogatory remarks about the company and people associated with it, and inappropriate communications with colleagues,” according to a statement released by the board Tuesday afternoon.
