WF executives going on a "retreat" to help them achieve their "higher purpose" with Amazon.

I need to download my W2 for 2016. I left in January 2017, but I need it now for legal purposes. Do you know where I can download that W2 now.

We don't have one yet and I'm wondering how this works. Does your store have an Amazon Locker? Is it inside or outside the store? If it's outside, do customers complain they can't get their stuff until you open the store?

I haven't been around long time (oh, well) but I already heard about possible job cuts in Austin.

What was thought to be a 'life-line' for WFM has failed miserably. That's the reason why financial results of the 365 concept was concealed for a long-time. Yet another failure and this may just be the beginning of more. Seeking Alpha WSJ: Whole... — read more 

I don’t know people in other regions but wondering what the rumors/thoughts/feelings are out there. Is change coming? Are people leaving their jobs or not applying for jobs? Don’t need to sarcastic response just looking for some good TM to TM... — read more 

I would think that all regions will have the same set-up/job positions in the future. Whole Foods has always allowed each region to operate fairly independently. I don't think that will continue much longer. I believe that all regions will operate... — read more 

So, now that it's out that customer payment information was hacked, what do you think the fallout will be for the stores involved? Or will there even be any fallout? In case you have't heard (small chance, I know):... — read more

So in NC the demo specialists were given to Jan to find a new position....and it begins! Can you say lowered wages?

Now he's calling himself- Houdini!! Ran the company into the ground and had to sell or be bought and now he's Houdini? Wow- too much!! How many thousands of Lemmings followed him like he was a DemiGod- now he's convinced he is!

Now the wunderkluts got hacked!! Will it never end!!

I hear things, but I can't trust them. I feel things, but I've got scars. Do I unpack my baggage? Am I here to stay? Should I take a knee, or does my aging preclude me? What?!? Is there an Echo in here, or is that a banana in my ear?!? What would JM... — read more

I'm a buyer and even I'll admit the end is coming. Best to look elsewhere. Whole foods gave a lot of us really bad buying skills but if you were willing and able should have learned some good things along the way. Use those skills, polish your resume... — read more 

They'll centralize buying to take cost out. Prob restructure stores similar to distribution centers. Handful of managers and tons of human and robotic drones pushing product. Amazon sells just fine. Their education is the consumer doing research. If... — read more 

Does anyone else have problem logging into myapps today? How about access to Kronos? This is so frustrating and happens way too often.

Disclosure: not an employee here, researching the topic and hoping to find some info here. Anyhow, the question is: How will Amazon's takeover of Whole Foods takeover affect employees?

Lol you don't make an acquisition of that size without spending millions on research and due diligence. Far greater minds than yours were involved in assessing the risks and benefits to this deal. They probably have a greater awareness of the state... — read more 

Be aware , over the next two years there is planned layoffs ! Good luck
