Whole Foods employees spend a lot of their salary at Whole Foods. The way I see it, if they cut your salary that is less money you will have to spend at WF. Although it is convenient to shop were you work, I suggest you start shopping at farmers... — read more 

So Store Graphic Artists are to re apply for their jobs..since there are backups and 2nd sign makers. What about the field associates. The ones who do nothing. Why not cut all of them and then save jobs for the people in the trenches.

People getting cut left and right.

WFM TMs need someone to protect them from Global's "vision"! The old culture does not exist anymore. There is no "empowerment" of TMs. company leadership have played their hand for all to see now. $4 million (was it?) spent on the recent ad campaign... — read more 

Are they considered supervisors? I'm just curious because in the SP region there's a lot per team! Like 2 -4 educators per team!

I say F OFF to Joe Rogoff and the rest of you top-heavy regional fs! Take a look at our ridiculously over-paid and out-of-touch regional coordinators! They are so unnecessary!! PFDS and BAKE teams are being combined and TLs are getting the axe... — read more 

That's all what I am asking for. I understand that we cannot back out on the current layoffs decision, but regardless of if I survive or not I'd like you to slow down

I am hearing they are just posting emails about it?! Numbers?

Does this mean we can all stop pretending we haven't heard the rumors that Whole Foods WILL NOT be on the list for the first time next year? SHOCK SHOCK!

If we want our voice truly heard, hit em in the pocketbook. That is where their sole focus has shifted anyway........just like any other greedy corporate company. F*** the little guys and keep the rich ones rich.

out here in a $179/night hotel room for 2 weeks opening a new store while people are losing their jobs? slow your roll. company clearly doesn't care about their employees any more than a conventional grocery store.

any news on store scan specialists or MSI's being layer off? I'm off today and no one at my store knows anything yet. STL is conveniently not there today, but has scheduled some meetings with other positions for later this afternoon.

I am a CS Sup and my tl just texted me saying the front end is good and no cuts would be made. Anybody from the SP region have any info?

You cannot take another job in the company. Postings were removed before the announcement and more removed today. They're calling it "Realignment." To where? The Fortune article says "2000 openings." Uh, NO. Try 1700. They took down 300 plus... — read more 

It's happening all regions. The news just hit some regions early. It wasn't really supposed to hit until tomorrow (Tuesday) so then it will be known to all regions. Good luck to all.

What do you know?

These teams will be combined: Meat and Seafood. Prepared Foods and Bakery. Grocery, Speciality and Whole Body. That's 4 less TL's in every store. I felt horrible for my STL yesterday. Then I remembered he makes 4X what I do as a TL and I didn't feel... — read more 

They recently had a meeting with the presidents of all the regions at the Charlotte store(big occasion, huh?). Gaurunteed it was about the roll out of this massive lay off. If it hasn't happened in your region yet, it's about to.

No announcements at my store, yet. There is a TL meeting this afternoon, after which I'm sure the shit will hit the fan. Everyone is walking on eggshells. Does anyone know, for sure, what changes are happening in the MW Region?

Saying there are only 1500 layoffs IF every single open position is filled. These team members don't want to fight their friends and colleagues for jobs. Most of the supervisors and buyers at my store are just moving on- which means more than... — read more
