It is still up on the website. I cringe at the thought of some poor schmuck like me who believed it.

Whole Foods as a brand has become too tarnished and they're jumping ship to focus their efforts on the 365 "concept." We will be owned by Publix or Target soon. No one is safe...

I can't believe the local news media hasn't picked up this story...people are hurt, angry, scared on both sides and their stories need to be told!

Nobody knows who to trust anymore, fake smiles & backstabbing just to keep your job....everybody pointing fingers at the weakest link on the team, kissing ass just to stay on your TL's good side that really doesn't give a damn about you anyway !

Anyone looking at what might be a finalized structure for the team? Any supervisors or buyers left on the merged team? And if so how many of each? I remember a ways back there being positions that had changes to what they're official title was... — read more

If loyal customers knew what is happening, there would be outrage. As a customer, I'd like to see it in the press and a boycott Chick Fil A style. Only thing I saw so far was on Gawker because they take anonymous tips.

Are they going away too? Aww....they just left. Darn it.

Wait until the media finds out that we're STILL selling the "slave shrimp"

Can anyone shed light on what to expect in Customer Service? We've heard possibilites of ATL and team trainers going down to 1 each and having all front end sups reapply for a few positions. Any truth to this in other regions?

I promise I'm not a Union shill. I've heard a lot of horror stories from ex Union members, but I've also heard positive ones. Whole Foods has been becoming less and less the company I've known, in which most of us thought, "I'm treated so well, why... — read more 

Is this true? Is this the reason they're doing this "restructuring"?? If so, why can't they just be honest with us???
