Kroger feeling the pressure too, there needs to be consolidation, too many players on the field now...Aldi and dollar stores still doing well thought haha

But I am sad because of what it has become. We have lost the very thing that set us apart from the competition-people. People who are dedicated and passionate about their jobs are few and far between now. Most are part time so that is easy to... — read more 

so anyone have news? I heard rumors all weekend about them combining the grobodiality team sooner than planned (this october) and all the TLs and ATLs were called up to the weekly meeting. Normally its just TLs though. As I was clocking out it seemed... — read more 

You know it's a dark day when a company hires very senior officers from Walmart. Watching carefully!

Anyone know what will happen with the demo team

someone needs to anonymously send a link to this site company wide. It won't be hard to do.

How much longer do you think this company has? Introducing the 365 concept I think is a sign saying main stores aren't going to continue to prosper, but some people are optimistic. Are you? Why and Why not?

We are going on strike for better wages and work conditions!

An ideal and dreamy solution would be to sell ourselves over to a private equity firm (this is how you leave Wall Street) and grow slow like HEB does in Texas. Maybe our current leadership is doing this right now....making us sellable and viable once... — read more 

Plenty of people are complaining about the state of affairs at WFM. Basically, WFM has gone too far in its misery to come back. It is not & will never be the company it was, so best piece of advice GET THE F--- OUT! It's over, it is just another... — read more 

Why doesn't regional come down to the stores anymore? I haven't seen a EC, VP or coordinator in our stores for a while now they used to visit ever tithed week. Is there a reason they're not checking in on condition and morale of th stores especially... — read more 

The CEO has described unions as herpes. He did not feel like a union was necessary because team members were treated well. I think the 4000k health insurance deductible, cuts in gainsharing due to shrinking labor budgets, and increased workload has... — read more 

Today I found out that two WalMart locations in my city will be offering e-shopping. They're hiring two people in each store to shop for the customers to keep up with demand. Kinda too bad WFM is missing out on yet another revenue source. It's only a... — read more 

They have found an easy way to get rid of people. Good job!

NorCal Metro Marketing Lead Restructure again - down from 17 to 10 and then reposted for 3. Also-team consolidation waiting until after the holidays- of course! Oh yes- and attrition. Has anyone heard what will happen to the TL's that don't get the... — read more 

With HEB acquiring all SunFresh stores, I wonder how WFM is going to respond? Any thoughts?

The stl at quarry telling guests at the case was down just because prep foods couldn't keep up with production. What a shame for those guests.

Does anyone know what happened to the bakery TL Monica ?

Any updates or rumors here?

Just curios!

Seems like it stinks less like old cigarette smoke in the downtown Evanston store since hillbillary left town. Bye.

I thought this restructuring was about LOWER prices,not keeping the same margins and to lie about the price point..check out your dept.pricing points

I still love the work but these 50 hour weeks due to being so understaffed are killing me slowly. Every month 2-3 people quit and with labor at a bare minimum it feels like we're barely keeping our head above water every day. Corporate should read... — read more 

I think 365 is a way to prepare for an Aldi major expansion in the US. They already shred their way through the UK. Am I alone in this thought?

It was great how Flash and Nonna did a canvassing of the DFW stores last week. Keep cutting labor and eliminating positions and then come into all the stores and criticize what's wrong and how we aren't doing things well enough. Then they met with... — read more 

Hey everyone Has anyone heard about anything going on with the Store Scan Specialist prosition being cut soon. It feels like with the R10 register systems being installed there is no need for the position anymore

Everybody seems to be waiting. Something is about to happen but we don't seem to find any info. Anybody has some solid leads? STLs across the regions are in the know but they are keeping their lips sealed.

I bet they are the ones really keeping this site going. Fortunately for them, they have the ability to remain anonymous. I'm sure most people would agree that this site contains the sort of dialogue that a town hall meeting would truly consist of if... — read more
