In the south region it's the same- 1 demo TM position and 1 artist per store, but those people have to re-apply for their jobs effective immediately

Haha, It's almost worth it. I feel the stress of the Holiday's ages me by about 3 years each time.

On the plus side, those of us cut won't have to spend our holidays getting berated by customers and having to just take it.

This is insane. If it's effective immediately, what is going to happen through holidays? I'm a supervisor, and if I can take severance, I'm out. Like was just said, this is only going to get worse. They've made changes to PBS's, SSI's, and Healthy Eating in our region this past year. If the ship has a leak, this isn't going to plug the hole.

Wow ten hours? Classy of them. and I bet they expect you to have full availability for ten hours per week. What a joke.

Pretty sure that's illegal. If you're a part-time backup GA you're supposed to be scheduled for at least 20 hours a week. They're screwing you, and it's only going to get worse.

This isn't the Whole Foods I fell in love with five years ago anymore. Kind of breaks my heart. I'm a backup GA and haven't heard a peep aside from my hours getting cut from 24 to 10/week.

So is this effective immediately? Like interviews will start right away?

Demo team members and store artists have been affected. Team members holding the same position on that team will now be forced to compete against one another for the new position.

1 demo tm per store based on volume. 1 artist per store.
