Now that the rumor is out for demo, I'm wondering if Local Forager is next.

They dropped the bomb on SW Demo yesterday. They have until January 15 to find a position or they are unemployed. Get ready to welcome third party drones that know nothing about our stores or products. The demo specialist in our store is sick to her... — read more 

Hey all, ex-SGA here. Just curious with how things have been with the artists and all. I was recently in the new Bryant Park store and saw there was a whole ONE chalk illustration. Any hope for the job continuing as at least a graphic design... — read more 

How many candidates vs how many hires? Did anyone get hired on the spot? Did any stores just go through the motions for the new mother ship?

What’s with the hairbrained national hiring day. How are all sores hiring if many missed their labor budgets last period? Sounds like a PR sham...

Whose brilliant idea was this? The store I am in doesn’t need to hire and the store itself is not making labor. All TLs have to be in that all day wasting labor. Amazon must be impressed.

How many of you love this complete waste of time they call OTS, just automate ordering and buying and let TM do their jobs.........

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

I wonder when they are going to let go of Demo in SW region? I know it a waste of a program, but they need to say something to these people so that they can at least find something differant before the holidays. Lot pf good people...to bad Austin do... — read more 

Looks like all the RP's are scrambling for Global positions- looks like the Regional structure will finally be addressed- can you say 11-2 Regions..................................

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 

Never fear as today the 'MOJO' will be back. We will comp like never before. Enjoy the ride!

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
