Thread regarding Whole Foods Market Inc. layoffs

Well, one person has spoken out...

This was in a letter to the editor that was published in Austin's Statesman newspaper:

In an attempt for Whole Foods Market to improve their stocks, they have forgotten about their most loyal customers: their employees. With the massive layoffs the company has enacted, they have compromised the core values that they used to hold with high regard. Most of the changes they are making will negatively impact customers, cutting positions that used to make Whole Foods stand out from other grocery stores. I would like to invite corporate management or shareholders to work a Sunday in my store with the current staff that we have and observe how the changes they’ve made will not “satisfy and delight customers” or “support long-term team member excellence or happiness.”

The most truth I've seen yet. I've been with this company for 10 years and it's my time to bow out. Its not the same and it hasn't been the same for some time now. Don't let WFM feed you their cult bullshit and stop drinking their koolaide!

They have been letting you all down for years! But with that smoke they blow up you ass it is hard to see! i worked there for 12 years and I figured it out in less then 1 week...we promote our friends and the rules do not apply to all!

ASTL can f*** around on their spouse with a TL under them...which should be grounds for ASTL termination but instead promoted to STL and got own store...that should tell you all something!

I am a TL and I have cried at work in the past week.

John and Walter. I have met both of you in my decade at WFM. I have shaken your hands and looked into your beady eyes like an obedient dog.

You made so many people believe in what you were doing.

You have failed.

F*** you both.

Agreed. Saw a team leader cry the other night while alone in his department.
