So happy that I'm leaving this Company, been here since 2007 and it's so sad to see what it's become. Team Leaders/ATL's are stressed, Supervisors are pissed off because we're Short staffed.....co-workers are Overworked and Exhausted and we can... — read more
Immersions.
As a company, we are struggling. We've had to make severe cuts at meny levels, including laying off some great workers last year and cutting many more down to part time. Stores and regional payrolls shrink whilst global increases. And also, why the... — read more

The Chick-fil-A way of handling a complaint - "Chick-fil-A took away my coleslaw"

Get in a Lifeboat while you can.....
Whole Foods Market has squandered all of its competitive advantages over the years through a combination of arrogant and incompetent senior leadership, hubris, lack of integrity, greed, and perhaps a dash of sheer stupidity as well. It was once a... — read more
Why stay if you hate WFM so much?
I am seriously wondering why you guys stay if you hate the company so much. There's a lot of venom and poison in the comments here, I can't help but to think many of you would be happier and healthier finding a new workplace to put your energy into... — read more
Deutsche Bank found a massive price advantage at TJs. Massive.
Deutsche Bank said its recent pricing study in NYC showed Trader Joe's had a significant price advantage. The analysts conducted a price check to see, if, in fact, a meaningful price gap existed. What's ridiculous is that they were actually surprised... — read more
Seasonal Team Members coming to a store near you
I guess it was inevitable. I saw them posted for the summer in produce. Does anyone have info? Have you got them at your store yet?
More layoffs in Norcal
Loosing 20 MML's in our region. Should be interesting to see how the remaining team handles workload with less. Our stores sales continue to go down, another competitor moving in down the street. Same psychopathic bullies "leading" the store... — read more

Maybe they need new commitment to their workers too!
Mischa Daniel sw quarry
I've never met a more incompetent human being. Honestly have no idea how she is a TL, (heard stories of her "working" her way up with the men TLs <---ask how she met her husband!) with her lack of leadership, bad attitude, and it's clearly apparent... — read more

Instacart
Sounds like another clever move- sign a huge deal with Instacart- then today Instacart announces they are financially challenged- looking at layoffs and will be cutting salaries in thirds- guess that wait will be a lot more than an hour!! Also signed... — read more

Another STL bites the dust- FL region
This time it's South Beach. That's four STLs and over a dozen ASTLs fired, layed off, or forced to step down in less than a year in FL. What's up with that? These guys used to be able to get away with anything and keep their jobs.
Another TJs near Uptown Dallas TX
Help everyone, we are hemoreaging as TJs is very shortly to withdraw its next round of blood. To make matters worse, this is about 3-5 miles from our new Uptown location. Also, close proximity to at least two other WFM stores. Any ideas as to what we... — read more

Errol Schweizer Gone
Errol was the quintessential natural grocery guy- 1000% committed and probably the best person in the company. If he's gone there is no replacing him- probably got tired of the BS as we all did. FBI should investigate the "Cult" and how they continue... — read more
Marketing Team Cut In Half (Again)

This Is Getting Embarrassing
The Grocery team has been shaved down to such bare bones that there commonly is only one TM available during the morning/afternoon to stock and help customers. People on all other teams are now tasked with fielding most of their customer's questions... — read more
