Had enough of the Mind Warfare

National Labor Relations Board Rules That Whole Foods Can't Keep Employees From Recording/Taking Photos
Hilarious. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/whole-foods-labor-ruling-workplace-recordings_56815928e4b014efe0d8b10e
Ever wonder why we make new hires do the physical assessment tests but do NOT Drug test like many other jobs??
And remember those lil health screenings they have to increase your discount card % are a sham to cut costs on the health insurance end..

Regional Holiday Walks- Say hello?
Why not say hello to TMs? Maybe peek in the back rooms and say hello and thanks or happy holidays. Instead, they don' even acknowledge us.
PTO Donation Requests!
For those TMs in need of PTO hours donation (for whatever reason), maybe it's time to forward requests to Austin TX, as we have execs that have racked up stacks of PTO hours (338 days or 2703 hours to be exact). After All, it's the season for giving... — read more

FIRST TASK > CRISiS TEAM
Don't you think that the first task of the crisis team should be to take a closer look at the executive team, as it is the e-team that got this company in this mess in the first place? Probably, allow them to take some PTO instead of hoarding! JMHO
WFM Bonds - Junk Bond Status

I love this website.
It really is the TRUE Whole Foods Market experience.
I noticed we were writing off cartloads of Frankie's today.
Nice work Annamaria, foodie finds was a real winner. I'm sure that we will be allocated 20 cases shortly.
Smartest way to legally make money from PWA card?
I plan on leaving company and have a lot of $ on my card. Is there a smart item to stock up on using the card, then resell?
Customer discount cards.
That will be their next brilliant move.
Whole Foods Market, the worst corporation that I have ever had the displeasure to work for.
Abusive, corrupt, inept, arrogant, and absolutely disgusting management. I can't wait to see it burn. #wholefoodsmarket
