Sucks to be in this pickle.

The Severance Package explicitly states that I have 8 weeks notice to maintain my position while I make my decision in exchange for the notice bonus. Am I being mislead in order for them to meet this fiscal year deadline or what?

Up your social media campaign, spam the hell out of any reigional ppl's emails you can find, go write a personal essay on the Amazon reviews for Conscious Capitalism, picket a store. Try to effectively reach out to alternative news sources, local... — read more 

I just went from supervisor to TM real quick...real f*cking quick.

My brother, who is on a Final write-up for Time and Attendence, was called to come in on his day off. Came in... and got fired.

I loved working for WFM hope i can find a position i will miss it otherwise

You're fired! Boom shakalaka!

Thought I would grow old with WFM. Now, I'm growing old alone. #ForeverAlone

any leads?

Trying to have some positivity whats your favorite WFM time?

What a relief. Honestly, yes. Corporate indeed, capitalist but not very conscious. You'll wish I was around to help train that buyer you'll overload with work. To be that person that knows all the tips and tricks to get things sold. That someone to... — read more 

What I know for sure... Yes, computerized scheduling is coming. Already started on some teams in some regions. Yes, final warning is part of the formula for who gets the ax. Yes, this is just round one. More cuts are coming. Yes, there are more jobs... — read more 

FYI - twitter will shut your account down due to unauthorized use of registered visual identity - all what it takes is a DM from the official WFM Twitter account to the site admins - I appreciate what you do hence this suggestion

Based off what I can gather, we are clearly in transition into a Whole NEW Foods. I have been a TM off and on since before 2000 and seen some crazy shit, but never this crazy. Sure we have every type of person working here in a cultural melting pot... — read more 

I've been hearing/reading that smaller specialist jobs on grocery such as bulk and frozen have been getting cut in other regions. What about NC?

one of the hardest to say goodbye to is our long term healthy eating specialist. This cancer survivor is one of the most revered of all team members. what a shame that senior leadership chose to let her go. a sad day for our store. a new beginning... — read more 

I can tell you the honest truth, because I honestly know. That is all I can say. John Mackey's & Walter Robbs's email this morning was was written in such a misleading manner with little information on what is about to go down these upcoming weeks... — read more 

I am hearing rumors that full-time tms, not leadership or specialists, who have been with the company for a long time earning annual raises and are therefore expensive for whole foods to pay, are also getting laid off. Can anyone confirm?

I've been at the company for about ten years and was told I would get about 10 thousand bucks. Is this taxed? And how long does it take to get the money?

Just wondering if anyone can confirm, and which regions.

Just landed here. Wow! Feels like a discussion board on Twitter steroids... It's overwhelming...

I guess we need a somewhat lighter thread to deal with all the stress we encountered today. Let's try this: What is the funniest situation you encountered at work?

This company changed my Life, for the Good & that's why it hurts. I will never forget the relationships i made & lessons i learned here. I'm still young enough to do better, but old enough to know when its time to move on....

"While you may not be the spokesperson for this clusterfuck, I have an onslaught of new information that I wish to share."

Do I still keep them? What happens with those?

Hahaha - we just had someone apply for a job here (at Sprouts): https://www.thelayoff.com/sprouts

Whole Foods Global and Regional have keenly demonstrated today that they know NOTHING about real marketing. Prime example: Love Fest going on while you are self-destructing. All those $500 gift cards would translate into over 100 jobs for a year. All... — read more 

At least 40 team members ( primarily ones who have been with the company a long time ) are getting cut. Thanks for supporting team member happiness! I'm sure the lucky ones that remain will have a great time picking up the slack.

at risk? Some of my fellow tms were let go today. This has been a very sad day. Those of us on final are wondering if SW is continuing to let more of us go, based solely on our final status. Any info would be appreciated. Good thoughts sent to all.

It wasn't me this time, have been encouraged to work harder to get closer to targets, as if fear is a healthy performance incentive.

Are they being cut, or are they safe? I can't see them making too many cuts in the PFDS department considering how much product needs to be order daily.

So far only the marketing team member was let go, so I guess we have been "lucky", if you want to call it that. STL is claiming no other team member's jobs are being cut, but I don't quite believe that yet. We will see what happens.
