They may have cut the positions renamed them made them reapply to only pay them less but they haven't cut the work for floral team members they've only added on to it. Once those workers that make more money are gone (find new better jobs) the new hires will be starting at a minimum wage. WF is going cheap and the quality will be falling unless they can get REAL floral designers that are suckers to do design work for peanuts I have my doubts that's gonna happen there are to many avenues out there now for designers. Don't do it designers it's not worth it don't fall for the kool-aid WF serves you'll regret it!!!
So it looks like South, Southwest, Mid Atlantic,and Rocky Mountain so far.
Yeah the wedding program is f***ed now. Way to go whole foods.
I am a floral specialist in the RM. I was cut. I have 2 weddings hanging out there to do. I don't know what I'll do. I 'd love to see my brides unload on my leadership. I'd love to see the guys in produce do the corsages and bouquets. The problem is I like my customers and my co workers. I am around wonderful people. Right now all I can think about is how f***ed up this whole situation is.
No floral or produce cuts. Just bulk and frozen buyers along with MTL, PBS, and ISE.
