Thread regarding Whole Foods Market Inc. layoffs

Patrick Eugene Bradley is a tremendous douche.

You forgot to post something resembling a coherent thought. Seriously, I am so interested to know what that non-sentence is supposed to mean. What is it referring to? Are you on meth? Have you hit your head? Do you need medical treatment? I'll donate some of my PTO for you.

Forgot that unliked-able 2 letter word: liar-bility.

Whole Foods and Jeff Bezos for sure don't give a c-ap about anyone. I for sure don't give a c-ap about them. I would drop that company in a heartbeat if it came to that but I like working there.

I imagine by your comments that you are about 24, a white male, and involuntarily celibate. If you aren't great, I'm happy for you, but that's how you sound. I hope in a decade or so you will realize what a waste of time it is to insult others and spew hatred into the world. It only hurts yourself and most times is a reflection of how you see your own life. I'm sorry if your mother never hugged you but you can be the person you wished she was.

Think realistically. This man is not going to lose his job or even get reprimanded for his Instagram post. No one is going to shut down Whole Foods. If you aren't happy there go work at Taco Bell or Wal-Mart and see how happy you are. Truth is you won't be happy anywhere. Happiness does not come from a job, especially not a giant multi-billion dollar corporation.

OK, Dude
It appears that no one gave you the love you needed while growing up and you decided you were just going to love yourself.
Good for you, I guess.
Everyone needs to get their validation somewhere. Even if it is from a corporation, run by the richest man in the world, who doesn’t give a c-ap about you and your dedication.

34 days now.

I get plenty of appreciations from the teammates I cover for and from leadership but I don't do it for a pat on the back. I don't care at all about the opinions of others. I'm helping my the people I spend most of my time every day with and that is good enough for me. They, in turn help me out when I'm in need. The extra $ is also nice.

I'm off today but I'm going to pick up a coworker who's car was just totaled and take him to work. I will see if there is anything that's needs to be done while I'm there but the need for extra help seems to have died down so I will most likely just leave.

The alternative for me is to sit at home all day with my hobbies which is great and I've tried to do that but I don't refuse if I get called in for coverage when I don't have something important planned and it's nice to get out of the house. I'm thankful for having a job I can go to more than ever.

I was the only person on our leadership team available during the last two weeks so I had to step it up for my team. This is why I am in leadership and you are angry. I used to be an angry young man as well. I know where you are coming from but you will be much happier if you let go of all the hate. It feels good to help others. Don't get me wrong, I don't gaf about corporate Whole Foods, it isn't about helping the store make record sales, this is about helping the good people I work with. Some of them are extremely scared and worried about their children or elderly parents. I'm fortunate that I don't have to deal with that.

I am most thankful that your toxicity isn't on my team.

Doth protest too much. Will someone pat this jamoke on the back already, Jesus!

I've read so many dumb comments since the birth of the internet, and I'm not going to say that last post is even close to the dumbest, but god damn is it f—ing stupid. Or should I say you sound like a "Baffon"?

Why would anyone shut whole foods down? It makes $18 to $20 billion dollars a year.

Working 32 days in a row illustrates the fact that I know what is going on at store level (no one is risking their lives most people are working far fewer hours) and I do not want some dumb vice president in our stores being useless. I worked 4 hours today and told my STL i was done for the day. No one is getting in trouble and working whenever. Anyone who can afford to should stay home and enjoy it as much as possible. Should Patrick have made an unfunny joke about it? Probably not. Being "a leader" he doing what he should be doing. If he was in the stores everyday and posted about it on Instagram you hypocrites would be bashing him for that. I feel like this is just hate for rich straight smooth jazz playing white men. Seriously the world has too much smooth jazz Patrick. You monster!

With the likes of that hayseed Wac Mac and this clown making Mr. J Bezos look like a baffon I wonder why he doesn’t pull the plug on this hillbilly operation already. Was there a cause in this sale that guarantees WFM stays open for a certain time?

Sounds like someone is looking for a big pat on the back.
Not sure what working 32 straight days has to do with this regional president bragging about having fun while his employees put themselves in danger everyday?

1st of all. It is not happening at store level. Personally yes, I've worked 32 days in a row and twice a day on a few times and there are maybe one or two other TMs in my store getting OT but for the most part everyone is calling out or leaving early or refusing to work while customers are in the store.

2nd, speaking of cowards, no one is going to walk out of your store. No one even called out on the national walk out day. This dude doesn't care if anyone quits. He welcomes it. People who quit aren't his best employees. He will hire someone new pay them less and get more productivity without the negativity. The policies they've put in place means no one has to work at least until the end of April. Many of my poor coworkers are posting identical Instagram posts. Quit and collect unemployment or shut the f— up. We are rehiring people who pointed out just to sanitize all the handles and carts in the department. These people are extremely grateful to have a job at all.

Our associates are important to your shopping experience. We have implemented the following actions to support them during this crisis:
•
Added 80 hours of paid time off for all full-time hourly associates and 40 hours of paid time off for part-time hourly associates to be used at their discretion at any time in 2020 and paid out at year-end if not used

This is Home Depot. Why would whole foods owned by the richest man in the world, cant do this for us?

The wife is doing a poor job at taking care of her kids. Where is the wife by the way? Not doing tours but sure was when wife was promoting conscious capitalism.

Stupid book has no hold onto what is written there when HD does a better job at taking care of its “associates”.

“It isn't anyone's responsibility to risk their safety or others safety for a corporate business. “

Is that not what is already happening at store level?

If you are a millionaire “leader” yes it is your responsibility to take on what the pions below are taking on otherwise you are a hypocrite which is the worst thing to be.

Leading means going so others follow. That’s what leading is. Not hiding behind and celebrating your elite status as a s*ssy. You rub a dog nose in it not a poor grocery bagger.

The corporate trolls of Whole Loser Market know no bounds and know not what they do.

Whole Coward Market

Ok enough is enough. My store is fully ready to walk out if this id–t does not quit. Im wrkng for a poor wage of $17 n this so called leader says staying home is not that bad!! We dont have that option. Either he quits or we walk out. There are two stores in his region ready to walk out within two weeks. Mote thinking of joining. Including stls.

Very tasteless and tone def of him. Now is not the time to be humble bragging about your privilege on social.

I don't know Patrick. For all I know he's a colossal douche nozzle, but he has done well enough in his life that he can socially distance while keeping himself and his family fed, comfortable safe. Good for him. It isn't anyone's responsibility to risk their safety or others safety for a corporate business. He is simply not essential and is doing exactly what he should be doing. Staying We who work at store level know he would be absolutely useless to us if he tried to help at the store level. I imagine the dude couldn't even bag groceries properly.

His real crime is this...

He's actually pretty talented if you like music with no balls.
