why are people on here so surprised that this company is doling out this crap? i've worked at whole foods on and off for 5 years and never once bought into the whole "we care about team members and their happiness" crap. it's all a facade. john mackey is a damn nuisance. i feel bad for you trusting, sweet people that thought you ever worked for a decent place. i truly believe the people who they promote to supervisor or team leader positions, for the most part, are stupid, heartless, assholes. they don't care about you and the hilarious thing is that their bosses don't care about them. everyone is expendable. except for john mackey and all his dumb, white, former hippie friends. ok great, so whole foods still raises money for local schools and women in third world countries. woopdy damn doo. think of all the starving people in OUR OWN COUNTRY. think of all your coworkers on food stamps. yes, maybe whole foods is better than working at Pet Smart. better pay, better staff. but you know what, Pet Smart doesn't go around tooting their damn horn "our workers love to work here, team member happiness is SO important to us, we are conscious capitalists"
it's a bunch of hypocrisy. they NEVER EVER EVER wanted to pay for your health insurance. not now, not ten years ago. it's just worse now because they're losing money. john mackey got too big for his tiny little britches. what a damn douche. i hope he reads this, the damn douche.
