Looks like first thing in the morning for me, what about you?

Something has been brewing for a long time I can say for sure in the north east region. 8 months ago they cut us to one TMS(HR) per store which is ridiculous because at the SAME time whole foods launched us using work day and each store here has... — read more 

Where you at?

the latest and greatest...... PBS is going metro (2 to 3 stores, million dollar stores keep in store PBS) / ISE is completely axed / CD program is axed / all ASTLs have to reapply for their position (sales: 6 = 1 ASTL, 10 = 2 ASTLs, million dollar... — read more 

So the upper - sociophobic- folks that now run the company- minus Walter Robb who is just a baby kisser without a clue- have managed once again to steer the company down the wrong path- just like the Wild Oats purchase- we really needed 200+ stores... — read more 

My fellow SGA, MTL, and I just got called in for an "emergency" meeting with our STL for tomorrow morning. Wish me luck...and a job.

We were all sold WFM BS with the entire Conscious Leadership propaganda. What a complete and utter crock of S*#t. This company has been struggling for year to find it identity. Well the finally found it, a slave to wall street and it's investors. Can... — read more 

I'm just an outsider looking for info on the layoffs and I stumbled across this twitter account of a suicidal man allegedly laid off by WFM. If by any chance you know this individual please get in contact with them. I know these tweets might just be... — read more 

Just beware there are more to come this is just the first round. They could not cut all the jobs they wanted to before the holiday's Watch out in or around Jan 1 next round

I love these idiots (or more likely idiot) who keeps trolling every post by accusing everyone of being a "union agitator". Because no one could possibly be critical of a company about to initiate broad lay offs and pay cuts. Or you know...its a UNION... — read more 

If they want to cut cost. 13 regional offices or palaces from the several i have seen. Also 13 redundant RP's VP's ect.. If you want to save money cut down all the redundant regional jobs. Most make way more than a frozen buyer

I promise you, there sould be no conflictions. I'm a team member from the WFM-SO for 3 1/2 years and my buyer this morning, showed up at 5 am, completed her shift counting backstock inventory, and announce her last hour of work that today would be... — read more

What will teams look like next year? Two years, five years down the road? Some longer term perspective would be rad.

I see all these posts about tl, atl, astl, supervisors, specialists etc. What about other administration roles? I heard HR is becoming a metro position now. What about the accounting people who are tasked with responsibilities no one else can do? Did... — read more 

Don't believe any of the nonsense you read here. This is a bunch of garbage being spewed by union agitators.

MW Region here. Haven't heard a thing yet, although there have been a lot of impromptu conference calls with Store Leadership this past week. Honestly, WFM is a company that is failing right now for many reasons. A big one is that there are way too... — read more 

I've been with whole foods for ten years. You cannot walk around all honky dory at any company. It all comes down to the bottom line...profits. I didn't get the ax and neither did my Tm's. It is what it is. A large corporation. Don't be surprised... — read more 

Yes they say this is all about restructuring and they give the team members choices but most of the team members won't have a job there for them, they essentially are firing or asking you to leave. Not to mention those leaving are many talented... — read more 

I think we are all having a hard time because of the complete lack of communication from global. You dragged our asses into a mandatory store meeting to watch a bullshit PR 'whole foods is awesome' video but can't man up to tell us what is going on... — read more 

What is going on with Arabella and Broad?

Were all buyers and supervisors given the chop in the south? I'm in the Midwest and I'm hearing conflicting reports.

If true leaders would actually get rid of the dead weight then this would not be happening. The sad part is the company is going to lose a ton of badass employees and be stuck with that complacent dead weight. WHOLE FOODS MARKET YOU JUST SHOT... — read more 

Thanks. I am now unable to afford my medication needed to control an incurable genetic disease until I can find work that offers benefits good enough to cover it (hahaha) and qualify for them. F*** YOU. As decent as the healthcare was it was still... — read more 

Severance pay will not pay for a college education to fuel the problem occurring in the current corporate world that has overcome WFM as of recently. No wonder John Mackey didn't show his face in the Charlotte stores two weeks ago as he was expected... — read more
