Has anyone heard whether there will be layoffs at Global?

I’d like a different take…over n over again on this site we here from team members from the early 2000’s that dread this company now and dream of the ole days…are there really no folks out there who have signed on after the Amazon takeover who think... — read more 

Cut part timers down to 4 hours a week. The regional direction is just to eliminate entire shifts before even communicating to the TM’s. Meanwhile stores run with 3-4 astls that don’t do anything whatsoever but walk around with their coffee and Yerba... — read more 

Do you think there may be small/medium/large Whole Foods layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

There is some speculation that there could be some cuts after the holidays. Maybe someone has more insights?

How's the shoplifting in your store? Ours is a rampant mix of homeless that live in a park two blocks away and some organized rings taking $500-$1,000 a pop with frozen meat/seafood, caviar, li---r, coffees. We've had more than one dr-g OD in the... — read more 

So Tables Ready crashed! Haha!

Holiday takes are a joke this year. Nothing works and printers keep falling offline. Not that there is anyone to man them anyway.!

I was just laid off. Completely blindsided after 15 years of excellent JDs and building my career here. Workload has been so heavy that it never even occurred to to me that they would eliminate the position. Found something with a better salary... — read more

Funny that nobody mentioned wages when they responded to the survey. The E team didn't say anything about it in the posting on innnerview.

Is there any reason for working hard in a company that has proven countless times that it doesn't value hard work at all? I don't think there is, and I am amazed by those who still give their best so that those at the top could enjoy themselves.

The other shoe just dropped. Just heard all regional travel is now cancelled and needs approval across the country as a cost saving measure. In my region for the coordinators to go to a store means booking a flight and hotel. If they aren't coming to... — read more 

Despite everything, some people still do the best they can while the company squeezes them and takes advantage of the fact that they can't find a better job. Some think that their case hard work will be valued and then they are disappointed when... — read more 

Just read that Amazon is raising wages for warehouse employees. Has anyone heard of this happening for store employees?

Is there another store closing? In Chicago? Any more rumors of other locations or flipping over WFM to Amazon Fresh? That has to be coming soon.

Is cashing out of PTO possible? How about cash for family emergency situations? Please let me know.

Is anyone going to buy any? It seems like ever since we were bought by Amazon, supplements at wfm have gotten more expensive while Amazon is a bit cheaper.

How long you think till this position is gone? With the SSS being the store point person and the STSS just works tickets assigned to them. I say within two years they are gone.

I know it isn’t just Amazon/Whole Foods, but it affects all customer service jobs. For those of you that have been around for more than a couple of years, (meaning 10 years or more) how bad is it getting at your store? Do you just FEEL how much... — read more 

My TL told me I am the point person for tech support now at my store? We haven't even had our monthly call because it keeps getting postponed.

For years John you let mid mngemnt at Whole Foods toil under heavy stress…always under threat of demotion or termination…team leaders working off the clock and suffering for wfm…and these very conscientious workers were often driven into the rocks... — read more

Seems all the SSI's have be reduced back down to SSS....

Who was the worst STL you worked for? The worst in terms of job performance or overall competence.

Is this unique to the SP or do all STLs work 6 hours while expecting their ASTLs and shifties to work 9+? They hired a talentless clown that has a long commute and he seems to reduce his drive time from his shifts.

Who else is suspicious of the new my schedule app? I know that this is how Amazon shoppers were being scheduled allowing them to pick/drop their own shifts. I'm nervous about it because that is also how Amazon got rid of a lot of the shoppers they... — read more 

It is funny the John Mackey tour has already started. He will be visiting my store next week and the STL is freaking out. There are 4 ASTL's at this location and do you think one of them could lift a finger to help prepare for this visit. NOT! ... — read more

Hi All, is this true? Also, if there are closing it are they offering relo options to workers?

I used to. Now I try to work the bare minimum, not get exhausted and generally put more energy into finding a new job.

What's this I hear about a COVID outbreak at Tribal?

Will we see an improvement over the sub par showing of the last several years?

What is the point of the STSS now if they have no access to log into anything unless they are on a VTeam? Just give the SSS the ticket and have then touch things.. Heard thats coming back anyways.

I too have a plan to leave WFM, but until I find a better offer, I'm still trying to do my job to the best of my ability. Then I look around and see some people who no longer work even the bare minimum. They would supposedly like things to be... — read more

I'm going to assume that Amazon has cleaned house with the latest round of closings and that the rest of us are safe for at least a year or two?
