I don't want to work for a company that treats its employees like shit! You push us for sales while cutting our labor in half...the department i work in has lost more than half its staff because of the way our STL treats us! Holidays are coming and... — read more

Severance pay do you know if we also get unemployment?
I remember my STL saying yes but just want to make sure Anyone know? FL REGION
PTO
What happens to PTO, what happens if you hit the pto mark during the period before you leave?
PN Region. Everybody needs to stop whining and be grateful for the generous severance packages.
I know Whole Foods is taking a lot of heat at the moment, but I don't think they should. I am one of the Team Members on the chopping block and was offered the option of taking a generous package of 8 weeks pay and severance pay on top of that. If... — read more

PN. I agree with the trim but not the method. Blindsiding has changed the culture.
Everyone's worst nightmare. Blindside layoffs. I wouldn't have chosen to make my career with WFM If this were the climate 5 years ago. If STLs were made aware of these changes in advance, they could have steered these TMs into vacant positions (of... — read more
Cocktails for Customers at WFM
A Whole Foods store in New York will start offering customers cocktails while they shop. It’s part of Whole Foods’ new slogan, "You’d have to be drunk to pay these prices."
Scared
I'm on admin doing Green Team (porter) and I'm scared for my job. The STL told me I was going to be fine, but for some reason it's hard for me to believe. Has any porters been released from any store?
Do I really want to stay with this company?
I found out I was to be laid off on the radio in the car on the way to this meeting. The PBS posted the layoff announcement on the time clock for everyone to see. None of us had been spoken with previously. None of us had performance issues, it was... — read more

What happened to our Team Members being a "Big Dill?"
Sucks to be in this pickle.
I've been told I need to decide by 5pm tomorrow. True or False?
The Severance Package explicitly states that I have 8 weeks notice to maintain my position while I make my decision in exchange for the notice bonus. Am I being mislead in order for them to meet this fiscal year deadline or what?
Some power for the powerless...

Whole Foods
Trying to have some positivity whats your favorite WFM time?
When you've been waiting to break up with someone, then they break up with you.
What a relief. Honestly, yes. Corporate indeed, capitalist but not very conscious. You'll wish I was around to help train that buyer you'll overload with work. To be that person that knows all the tips and tricks to get things sold. That someone to... — read more

Remove Company Logo from twitter.com/WholeFoodLAYOFF
FYI - twitter will shut your account down due to unauthorized use of registered visual identity - all what it takes is a DM from the official WFM Twitter account to the site admins - I appreciate what you do hence this suggestion
What is REALLY happening? I am a TM at WFM and after reading a ton of good and bad posts here, I would like the truth for once
Based off what I can gather, we are clearly in transition into a Whole NEW Foods. I have been a TM off and on since before 2000 and seen some crazy shit, but never this crazy. Sure we have every type of person working here in a cultural melting pot... — read more

Any non-titled ft cuts??
I am hearing rumors that full-time tms, not leadership or specialists, who have been with the company for a long time earning annual raises and are therefore expensive for whole foods to pay, are also getting laid off. Can anyone confirm?
Question about severance pay
I've been at the company for about ten years and was told I would get about 10 thousand bucks. Is this taxed? And how long does it take to get the money?
Can anyone confirm that the Floral Specialist position was cut?
Just wondering if anyone can confirm, and which regions.
First time visiting
Just landed here. Wow! Feels like a discussion board on Twitter steroids... It's overwhelming...
