The decision to demote/consolidate and lay off buyers was voted on by the 12 regional presidents, based on an analysis done by Rocky Mtn VP Tom Rich and his finance team. They figured that there were too many team members with the title of buyer and the company could save millions by consolidating those positions. Never mind that is who orders product for the shelves and those are among the highest skilled team members. Farewell whole foods.
