In my region I'm seeing a lot of very talented TLs of large teams and long time ASTLs quitting over the past two years. This leaves a void for promotions as the company continues to expand so all of the ASTLs hired recently are from very small teams... — read more 

I have to start off by saying that I was fortunate enough to find other employment after 10 years at a MW WFM 2.5 months ago. I did get a few months of experience into what the OTS culture brought forth. Like most people I thought it was over... — read more

This is going to be fun to watch. My meeting with my lawyer went well and I’m suing. You can’t advertise for a position with certain qualifications and give the job to someone that is totally unqualified. See you a. . .holes in court.

Our SGA was allowed to panel for a Store Support TL position at our location despite having never managed or even worked on a team in her entire time at WFM. They reposted for that position, then gave her an ATL job without having an additional... — read more

No WFM on the list but build a bear is right up there!!
