someone needs to anonymously send a link to this site company wide. It won't be hard to do.
How much longer do you think WF will be around for?
How much longer do you think this company has? Introducing the 365 concept I think is a sign saying main stores aren't going to continue to prosper, but some people are optimistic. Are you? Why and Why not?
WE ARE GOING ON STRIKE
We are going on strike for better wages and work conditions!
Time to get out of Wall Street's grasp!
An ideal and dreamy solution would be to sell ourselves over to a private equity firm (this is how you leave Wall Street) and grow slow like HEB does in Texas. Maybe our current leadership is doing this right now....making us sellable and viable once... — read more
It is time to move on!
Plenty of people are complaining about the state of affairs at WFM. Basically, WFM has gone too far in its misery to come back. It is not & will never be the company it was, so best piece of advice GET THE F--- OUT! It's over, it is just another... — read more
Regional not going to visit SW stores anymore????
Why doesn't regional come down to the stores anymore? I haven't seen a EC, VP or coordinator in our stores for a while now they used to visit ever tithed week. Is there a reason they're not checking in on condition and morale of th stores especially... — read more
WFM Workers Union
The CEO has described unions as herpes. He did not feel like a union was necessary because team members were treated well. I think the 4000k health insurance deductible, cuts in gainsharing due to shrinking labor budgets, and increased workload has... — read more
Wal-Mart offers e-shopping.
Today I found out that two WalMart locations in my city will be offering e-shopping. They're hiring two people in each store to shop for the customers to keep up with demand. Kinda too bad WFM is missing out on yet another revenue source. It's only a... — read more
This SOP smells more like a POS....
They have found an easy way to get rid of people. Good job!

HEB buys 6 locations in DFW
With HEB acquiring all SunFresh stores, I wonder how WFM is going to respond? Any thoughts?
New lows at quarry sw region
The stl at quarry telling guests at the case was down just because prep foods couldn't keep up with production. What a shame for those guests.
Downtown Evanston store
Does anyone know what happened to the bakery TL Monica ?
Prepared Foods Layoffs
Any updates or rumors here?
Did any store break record back to school weeks?
Just curios!
Smells better.
Seems like it stinks less like old cigarette smoke in the downtown Evanston store since hillbillary left town. Bye.
What was 6.99$ is now 6.99$ on sale,with a regular price of 10.99$..
I thought this restructuring was about LOWER prices,not keeping the same margins and to lie about the price point..check out your dept.pricing points
Love this........WF hurting so bad in NW that they rush to post this ad on indeed and can't even spell check what they post.
.....me and my buddies had a real laugh at this post on indeed, what a crock, making themselves sound like they are the best company in the world and how much they care. posted two days ago on indeed; check out first line .......Join out? Uhhhh... — read more
I still love my job but I don't see it lasting
I still love the work but these 50 hour weeks due to being so understaffed are killing me slowly. Every month 2-3 people quit and with labor at a bare minimum it feels like we're barely keeping our head above water every day. Corporate should read... — read more
Aldi
I think 365 is a way to prepare for an Aldi major expansion in the US. They already shred their way through the UK. Am I alone in this thought?
Flash and Nonna's Excellent Adventure
It was great how Flash and Nonna did a canvassing of the DFW stores last week. Keep cutting labor and eliminating positions and then come into all the stores and criticize what's wrong and how we aren't doing things well enough. Then they met with... — read more
SSS Position Rumors

wfm is just another crappy retailer to work for now
which is fine, it is what it is. i think many people are having a hard time coming to terms with that though. for years now people that, for whatever reason, had no choice but to work in retail/food service had a pretty good thing going at wfm. the... — read more
Who's tired of hearing the phrase "team member happiness"?
It seems like many people on here want this phrase (core value) to resonate with the rest of us like it is some sort of moral code written in stone by whole foods. Is it not obvious that team member happiness is not a priority anymore? Don't be so... — read more

What's the deal with the end of the fiscal year?
Everybody seems to be waiting. Something is about to happen but we don't seem to find any info. Anybody has some solid leads? STLs across the regions are in the know but they are keeping their lips sealed.
Do you think the CEOs are trolling this site?
I bet they are the ones really keeping this site going. Fortunately for them, they have the ability to remain anonymous. I'm sure most people would agree that this site contains the sort of dialogue that a town hall meeting would truly consist of if... — read more
Who's left WF to go to the competition?
Have any of you left and gone to Wegmans, Trader Joes, or other food services? How is the pay, benefits, and general atmosphere of the work environment? Management? Better same or worse?

Quarry Erased from Layoffs?
Why are all the posts about Quarry being deleted from this site? People are asking for help, this is the only place they can voice their concerns. My issues are clearly the STL, and the ASTL. I am not naming names, only positions. We need HELP at... — read more
Quarry store needs capable store leaders!
Can we please get someone else with a proven track record. Our current store leader has no idea how to improv a store with declining sales/customer count. Our new ASTL is great and is a coach/mentor. That's exactly what the store needs. The other two... — read more
