There are A LOT of hateful/spiteful people here. I’m not sure if it’s just a select few who are posting over and over again or if it’s actual employees with complaints. The funny thing is I’ve never run into any of your negativity in real life while... — read more
A whole lot of NCNS and call outs this week.
Let's see if leadership and store leadership does their yob.
I left after nine years
I left WFM a couple of months ago after more than nine years here. To be honest, it felt like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders. Once upon a time I loved my work and I respected this company but that has changed so much. By the time I... — read more
Florida EMPLOYEE LOSSES LEFT & RIGHT
Well...lets review the past few weeks in Florida..we lost a great stl to another store. With that stl we lost great team leaders. Then we lost great team members. Do you think you still made a great decision Florida leadership? You made something ... — read more
Picking and choosing
The way my store handles attendance write ups is prejudice and unjust, picking and choosing who you write up based on gender, race and status is not okay. Oh and you dare not speak on it because that will earn you a target on your back . Just lost... — read more
Firing leadership to hire low wage workers
My store has been firing TLs ATLs and Tms that earn a lot to make way for new hires that can start at $15. STLs are looking for any reason to separatefrom these high earners. They ask for too much to be done and then write TMs up for OT! Watch your... — read more
Quitting in two weeks what happens to my FSA?
I’m quitting in a month, how long do I have to use my money in my FSA? I have a couple thousand bucks in it. Does it go back to WF on the day after I quit, a month after or what? Also, any advice on spending the FSA money online? Don’t wanna get... — read more
What a mistake....
I blame myself for not inquiring better about this company before applying for a job here. I left a company that is 100 times better than Whole Foods looking at it from this perspective, but now it’s too late. If there was anyway to go back there, I... — read more
Store hours?
Text said store hours are normal in Denver on Monday? Wow
How jeopardized is your health here?
It’s so sad WF has come to this. The comment beginning “You’re not alone” is absolutely right. I understand exactly and agree, there is a tremendous amount of abuse. I had to quit because I felt like I was going to stroke out. My health went downhill... — read more
Vaccine payment
According to Innview app tms get paid $40.00 for proof of vaccination. But, has anyone been paid yet????
I feel stuck
I can’t complain too much, it’s the only option I have so far, but the amount of work I do is really too much. At first I even blamed myself, getting everything done in time was difficult for me so I thought I wasn’t a good worker. I really don’t... — read more
How many did you lose?
We all know attrition is really bad so I was wondering, compared to last year how many are left at your location?
Face mask
Do we still have to use them ?(Texas)
Unemployment after layoffs
Does anyone know of anyone who has recieved unemployment from whole foods? I know of some been denied.
CFO email about weather in Texas
Thanks for the praise about stepping up thats really going to help your TMs pay the bills while you sit safely in your ivory tower. Your fake smile and and souless eyes always remind to put in as little effort as possible anytime I see your picture... — read more

global computer systems failure/sh*tshow........
how have the last few days been at your store with the downed systems...massive out of stocks?? cranky customers at registers unable to use credit cards??? how did amazon the kings of computer system logistics allow the wholefoods guys to let this... — read more
Take a break
I was told if you want to take off a month or more all you have to do is fill out the: "take a break form" and turn it into your tl. My tl told me recently that I have to wait until April to fill it out. What is the truth????
Give it to me straight
I’ve been here almost a year, and I want to know - will things get better? I feel like I’m being way overworked for what I’m being paid and the time frame for things to be done can sometimes seem absurd. The work environment while tolerable can be... — read more
Relocation ......
Layoff So let's talk about when a store has a relocation. Florida regional, im talking about you. You have an amazing stl thats been there building relationships for over 2 yrs getting ready for the new store. This person is an all star many times... — read more
You know what gets me?
When I first joined Whole Foods it wasn't just a job to me, I considered it a way of life - and I know so many other people did as well. Then over time things changed, priorities shifted, and what was a way of life became just a career, but it was... — read more
Are layoffs a regular occurance here?
I started last month and I constantly hear people at my store talking about possible layoffs and worrying about more positions being cut. Is this a regular occurance here? I know I probably should have asked this before I accepted the job but it is... — read more
Not even a raise would keep me here anymore
After several years spent in this company in which I invested a lot of effort and loyalty, I realized that it is no longer worth it. I wouldn’t want to influence anyone’s decision, but working in this place is really humiliating and it's one of the... — read more
Anything new?
Has there been any more talk about further position cuts?
Is there anyone who puts in special effort?
you should just do the bare minimum until conditions improve. No point in working any harder than you need to for a company who doesn’t actually care about you or your wellbeing. Maybe at some point they understand that treating people will better... — read more
Unrealistic expectations
Sometimes I wonder if they even look at us as humans? My situation is that I do enough work for three people, for sure. I’m afraid to turn it down because I wouldn’t want to lose my job. When I first started working here a few years ago, I was also... — read more
Why are you still at WFM?
We all know this is not the company it was when it started and is far removed from its original ideals some of us actually used to believe in. And it's obvious that working conditions have deteriorated over the years to the point that the majority of... — read more
Each WH store has its own clique?
Now I already have the experience of working in two WH stores and each has had its own clique formed by the groups of low performing workers guarding each other’s backs, nothing more. Compared to all the other problems in the company this one is less... — read more
Bonus check
Where is our bonus check?
This is how it starts
Everyone I have known,that has been with WFM a long time, and has gotten pushed out says it starts with micromanaging. They are constantly monitoring what you're doing hoping to find something they can fire you for, but really they want you to get... — read more
What else can they take away?
What will be the next thing they'll cut to compensate for increasing the starting pay to $15 since it seems we're still paying for it? Bring us down to 2 minute breaks? Cut the few remaining benefits we have? What? It makes me so angry that Bezos... — read more
How do you deal with micromanagement?
I really hate it. Every step of mine is monitored and I simply cannot work in such an atmosphere. I used to somehow ignore it, but now I can barely concentrate on work. It is still not clear to me why micromanagers do micromanage and how they do not... — read more
10 minute breaks.
Just found out that very soon, team members will only be allowed 10 minute breaks instead of 15. I guess that extra five minutes is really eating up time for a team member to get so much more work done. I am sure this will inspire already disgruntled... — read more

Unrealistic goals
I don’t know if they are even aware of how many unrealistic goals they put in front of us that rarely anyone can meet? The only excuse I could accept is that they are doing it unconsciously. Otherwise, it is the ultimate arrogance and squeezing of... — read more
New Ordering system
Does anyone else think the implementation of the new ordering system has been a complete disaster? Our back room is full of product that we have no need for and it just keeps coming in. I've never seen inventory levels so bad in the back it's out of... — read more
