WFM thinks that there are many people here who are still afraid of losing their jobs and the company is taking advantage of it. They are squeezing people while thinking that employees will continue to suffer through everything just to keep their... — read more

Covid text allert

Just received another one of those useless text about another teamember. Useless because so outdated. And the store leadership doesn't even enforce correct usage of masks. Not even the correct mask to use. Quite a few use neck gaiters as "masks".

Career progress

Ever since I got the job here I wanted to become a supervisor. I don't know how possible that is, but it's what I wish for. Some will say it doesn’t make sense because they don’t like it in this company, but nowhere is it good when you’re at the very... — read more

President Biden, January 4th new covid rules

Numerous times last year he said: companies over 100+employees will have to show proof of vaccination or get tested every week. And he wanted to start that on January 4, 2022. So let's see if wfm has the spine to informed it.

Team member mask usage?

Why does WF still use Kronos?

Kronos is a source of frustration more than anything else. Isn't it high time we got rid of it? Is there any way we can get rid of that garbage?

WFM not announcing covid cases?

I thought it was peculiar with the rise in Omicron cases that I had not heard of any employees in our area being positive. That was until I overheard some employees discussing a positive case in my home store. However, we did not receive any... — read more

Perhaps they WANT to shut down stores

Working in our store is a nightmare. There isn't enough people. We cant handle the lines. All this can be fixed, but there is no will to fix it. They don't care about stores at all. I think more and more that WFM actually wants to ki-l stores? I... — read more

Woodlands

Second STL at the Woodlands canned in a row! I wonder what this one did?

Here’s the real problem.

The reason we all left a few years ago is because we could see the writing on the walll. We could see that this is where it was going. OTS was the final straw for most of us. It’s too bad but those of you left behind but you are in a situation that... — read more
