In my eight years of working there we were never allowed to vote on potential team members. We were told that it was simply a "formality". #wholefoodsmarket #TeamWFM
Yawn.....
Every time I feel like I'm overreacting to what's going on in my store, and my region, I read something like this and it just reaffirms the sickness that pervades this company and has made it ill and is killing it. Really depressing to think about.
They need to change that term "stakeholder" to stockholder,because that is who pulls the strings in this company..team members are viewed as part time expendables now
I remember before they added that crap about stakeholders and win win partnerships
Another typical whole paycheck experience. #wholefoodsmarket #TeamWFM
The core values are just corporate BS. It's the worst corporation that I have ever worked for. #wholefoodsmarket
At our store, we have been told that it is team member *excellence and happiness
We sell the highest quality natural and organic products available
• We satisfy, delight and nourish our customers
• We support Team Member happiness and excellence
• We create wealth through profits and growth
• We serve and support our local and global communities
• We practice and advance environmental stewardship
• We create ongoing win-win partnerships with our suppliers
• We promote the health of our stakeholders through healthy eating education
Note that the Core Values are not numbered, as none is more important than another and all are important as a whole.
so sad the above statement sums it up for TM's! TM Happiness is obviously at the Bottom of their list!!!
