It's just a job at a grocery store. It's really, truly, all it ever was. It's a fun job (for me) and I'm staying. Do I feel any less secure about it? Not really, because I never feel completely secure in any job. I really and truly hope for everyone... — read more 

Why is everyone so surprised? I worked for this company for two years in the Chicago land stores. There was a consistent pattern of mentally unstable, drug using losers running the departments and the stores who self proclaim that based on their... — read more

That unfortunately is how it works in any other corporation. My employer before wfm cut the number of TLs one year- they either had to accept a transfer to the location they stated (within our city still..but it could be 20 miles away..) or it was... — read more 

Any one have any info on this guy? Based on reading previous posts it looks like he's the one who decided to get rid of buyers. I feel like he made a decision that he should have to pay for. It looks as though he is grossly out of touch with how WFM... — read more

The decision to demote/consolidate and lay off buyers was voted on by the 12 regional presidents, based on an analysis done by Rocky Mtn VP Tom Rich and his finance team. They figured that there were too many team members with the title of buyer and... — read more 

Did anyone else receive a letter about WFM being sued for running Credit Reports as part of the hiring process without consent? If you were hired between Dec 2009 and Nov 2012, you're getting some pocket change $24.00, the total settlement is for... — read more

It's totally okay to be afraid. At first I was afraid. I mean, I was petrified. I kept thinking I could never live without whole foods by my side. I spent the last few nights thinking how wfm did us wrong, but then I grew strong and I figured out... — read more 

People who are not taking their severance are not safe either. There is a huge labor cut in FP4, who ever decides to stay might get moved to another department if their current department can't afford them anymore, as they have lost their title and... — read more 

How does the actual act of communicating that you've been laid off happen? Do they call you in a conference room? Who is there? What do they tell you? How long does it take. I am extremely nervous, if there is another round then I am expecting to be... — read more

People in the south looking for jobs....at the GHL store 22 people took the severance. So there should be lots of openings there. It is the biggest store in the region so you might even be able to get a raise. Just a friendly tip from a former GHL... — read more 

Who got laid off at Lamar? It's my favourite WF in the company

It's not a rumor it's a fact. An ex ASTL warned everyone in the southern pacific region that after the holidays there will be another lay off.

Yes, I'm serious. While my TL is moving forward with consolidating buyers, there has been zero communication with the team to provide details, offer support, or even acknowledge that something is happening. No conversation, phone call, email, smoke... — read more 

One thing that mus not be forgotten is the fact that even if mr mackay and the other guy were to have giving the order if the people from the top all the way to the bottom would say NO, this malicious chain reaction would not happen. Sadly, morality... — read more 

Is the new "compassionate conservatism". What swill!

A produce/specialty combo team??? Wth is that? What are you even doing RM region?!?!

Did anyone in any region receive a FAQ document with their paperwork during the conference calls? Just found out that was a thing! We didn't receive one and when I went to my STL with questions, turns out I got the wrong answers and it has cost me... — read more 

Everyone here is just being a weak butthole. ' I got fired, woe is me.' Shut it, jizz stains. People get fired all the time. It's just a grocery store, not the end- all, be-all of your little life. Grow a sack, and perhaps a nut or two, take the... — read more 

At my store we had all the typical layoffs (signmaker, marketing, astl, pbs, anyone on a final) but since then people at my store are being written up left and right for the most arbitrary of things. So yeah, that's it for the layoff but it appears... — read more

Hey guys, check with your pbs in your region. By word of mouth I hear they extended insurance through three month of October. I don't know if this is the case for y'all in other regions.. Should be. I hope it is. But y'all know Wfm. Like I said I... — read more

Just wondering but if you live in NC and took the severance can you still apply for unemployment? And has anyone received their money?

This woman needs to be held responsible. She knew of weights and measures discrepancies and under her leadership the NE region was exposed which snowballed into this. She spends wayyyy too much company money on expensive hotels, "work parties" She is... — read more

I say it's the NY TMs that thought it was cool to scale up pricing. Could that be the match that started this fire?
