Bone us!

Thanks for the bonus that was paid for by hiring freezes and dunking on TM morale. Also, good call, giving $1000, to store leadership. They definitely deserve it more than workers on the floor.

What's the use of me putting a high percentage of my check into this program if my contributions aren't matched by the employer.

Whole Foods Health Insurance

Hazard pay

Why was our hazard pay taken away??? We are still wearing masks and having our temperatures taken. This isn't right. Something must be done!

Cleaning house?

One of our astl’s was asked to step out while store leadership cleaned house so she wouldn’t be involved. Guess what? You involved too many people so for them to shut up 100% ? Not realistic. Never bring a friend of a friend. Stl will over look... — read more 

One thing this virus has revealed
