Does anyone have any insight to why WFM pulled the rug out from Atlanta Fresh last fall, eventually driving them out of business? The 7 year contract had only been in effect for 14 months. I saw a press quote where WFM said something about sales not... — read more 

Dive Brief: Whole Foods and Amazon are clashing over product standards, according to a Yahoo Finance report. The specialty chain has long upheld standards that bar products like Coca-Cola that contain artificial flavors and sweeteners, while Amazon... — read more 

I wonder what Bezos had to say at the WFM annual tribe meeting in Arizona. People look up to him like he’s a god.

I was told that whole foods is the place “chefs” go to retire. After 4 months in Prep Foods I slowly realized, it’s where chefs who couldn’t hack it in the industry go to pretend to be big shots, and brag about how they were total bad ases in the... — read more

Things have been awfully quiet around here in regards of layoffs, I'm starting to worry this is a major case of calm before the storm. Do we know if there is anything brewing in near future or am I just being paranoid for no good reason (wouldn't be... — read more 

Finally we can hold these teams accountable for never hanging or taking down signs or tags on time. 99.5% to pass!

What do these lazy sacks do all day? Why does no one in store leadership help anyone with anything? Why does this position exist?

Where are the second round of raises we were promised over a year ago for being forced into taking on combo teams? Just another broken promise?

Why are post and comments being deleted?

What a bunch of crap, checklists, walks , scorecards , blah blah blah. We need OTS for senior management, and time those breaks. And where's our bonuses ?

Out of curiosity what in the hell do the store scanners do (the ones that do all the pricing) It seems like ours just sits around all day.

How many people take a full 30, minute break during inventory? I highly doubt most TM's take a full 30 during inventory.

It's great to be in NA. Things are going so well 8 new positions were recently announced for the regional office. Really excited what the new ChefTec team member will bring to the table. Go NA!

Does Amazon realize how bad WFM is run with OTS?

That is all.

Empty shelves make shoppers angry. Who would have thought? Except, of course, anybody with half a brain. Good to see things are working so well now that Amazon took over. /sarcasm... — read more 

Has anyone noticed more firings than usual in their store in the past month or so?

We have used the tax reform tax savings for bonus pay to John and the team . We ask you all continue working, we appreciate the business

How did it go. Did your store have to give explanations or did you just inflate your inventory and lie?

Is it just me, or is the amazon discount over with?

The money and perks go to the elites at Amazon. The rest get tracked. https://www.thelayoff.com/amazon-com

It would be nice if John Mackey would address the problems with OTS! Does he not realize how negative a culture Whole Foods is becoming?? Wake up and start listening to those at the store level!

Get OTS certified and you get free pizza! Sure half the team members quit or get fired.. but that just means more pizza for the winners. GO WFM! Thanks Amazon!

I've been waiting for the axe to drop for two years. I am done worrying. There is not going to be a massive layoff at the store level since we are operating on skeleton crews for the most part. Will some positions end or change? Of course. But the... — read more
