Amazon is taking on 7 billion on their own debt as well as 1 billion of WFM debt, so would you take on 8 billion in debt and not clean house, reduce costs and labor while you seek a margin that allows that kind debt, every WFM employee is at risk... — read more

Nobody is safe
Just because the department is safe under an Amazon model does not necessarily mean the resources in those departments are safe. Amazons goal is to deliver cheap product fast to the consumer taking cost out of the model at every single touch point... — read more
Class action lawsuit
Is anyone on here participating in the class action lawsuit? Specifically, I'm curious if you've felt like you're being retaliated against by WFM since signing up for the lawsuit. I know it's not LEGAL for an employer to retaliate, but let's be... — read more

Open salaries
http://www.businessinsider.com/whole-foods-employees-have-open-salaries-2014-3 Where can I look up how much everyone makes? Is this just the sign posted in the office with min/max wages based on position?
Amazon is a killer
A boner killer. No one good looking works there.
Stock plan share options
I am no longer with the company. I have 36 shares I can sell for 1500 now or keep, any advice?!
Las Colinas DFW
It was assumed that the STL at Highland Village would get the store. For the past year he has been kissing up to his favorite team members trying to get them to follow him and ignoring the team members he didn't want at the new store. Did he think... — read more

No cashiers or floor clerks, so you just walk out, right? Magnet for five-finger discount shoppers!
I can't wait to see the security robot chasing the real life shoplifters running out the front door of the cashier-less stores with baskets full of high-dollar wine, steaks and seafood. It'll be a thieves' paradise with even fewer obstacles to free... — read more
PFDS/Culinary Teams?
Anyone wanna speculate on what happens to us? Does Amazon do away with the PFDS/Bakery team to make more room for groceries? Do drones take over steaming up bags of food? Do they have an expo drone to garnish and run food? My guess is a slow... — read more

The Amazon Way
Look at what folks are saying all over the Internet about Amazon - It's cut throat, it's hard, it's merciless but you learn a lot and they pay well. They work you really hard but you can grow and you can work on stuff that's pretty advanced. So, it's... — read more

Bezos/Workday/layoffs
On his Wikipedia bio, under Bezos Expeditons is a partial list of companies he has been at least in part funded. One of those is----Workday. Does he have access to our personal information? Before the sale goes through?
trim the fat
After spending over 5 years at a sopac store, I found the management to be highly unqualified and incompetent. Promotions were based on the buddy system, not qualifications. It's no wonder they have been struggling for so many years. People w/o any... — read more
Amazon Go is a failure!
Amazon Go is a failure. The technology doesn't work and won't work. I've seen more nonsense on CNBC about self-driving cars picking up grocery orders from robots to deliver them to customers like the Jetsons. What a load of rubbish! There are grocery... — read more
A different view about business changes
Let me start this by saying that I do not know what Amazon is planning to do, there may or may not be any layoffs. Yet, in my view, all jobs are temporary, really. Unemployment is a new beginning, really. Each of us may go through the cycle of... — read more

WFM (3,000+ hour) stock grants. Questions - perhaps an expert out there?
Spent 5 + years at WFM. My position was eliminated in last year's first round of layoffs. I had one allotment of the 3,000+ hour stock grant. It was not fully vested. Looking in my Fidelity account, it appears the grant is now 0. They said when I... — read more
