What region is RM region, I see some folks are using it in signatures. Also, I am fairly new, I'd appreciate if someone can outline region names/abbreviations here - it'd help with reading posts. Thank you in advance.

Another waste of money is Greentrek, it's full of cheaters tracking exaggerated amounts of activities. They need to fire all the cheaters too , they're just milking WFM. They can start with Kathy J. in FVW how can a 60 ish years old have so many... — read more 

Why is the automatic response to call for the people at the top to take pay cuts? The executive level at this company is making beans!!! If you knew anything about corporate America you would know that. No one is gonna cut their salary after 20 years... — read more 

They explained to me in the office the "reason" for the lay offs, and told me they were closing my position as a whole throughout whole foods, I was handed a packet and that was it, when I get home and reviewed the contents of the packet, it just had... — read more 

Now I know why they call it Whole Paycheck...because they just took my whole paycheck away...laid off in the RM region.

I have been on my normal days off and when I ask around in text and email everyone at my store has been tight lipped. I'm wondering if they would have called me in on my day off or if they are waiting to hand me papers when I come into work this... — read more 

I'm a front end supervisor and would welcome the layoff at this point. I am tired off the shrinking labor % and the stress of the extra workload that comes with it. We are already understaffed and can only open half the check stands can't wait to see... — read more

I'm a sup in the Florida region and so far it seems that only marketing has been let go. Does anyone know anything else of what's going on? Today is the day they are supposed to let everyone know what's going on.

Hi! I am on a final warning for attendance that will last another few months. Are people with final warnings being fired or layed off? Do they receive the severance package? I am debating leaving if I am at danger of being fired unexpectedly rather... — read more 

I don't buy it. My store in the RM region hardly lost any TMs aside from the marketing, pbs and ise TMs. Others were removed of title but got to stay on as just full time TMs.

The thing that sucks about working at Whole Foods now is feigning a tolerance of their core value that they respect their employees and put the care of their suppliers/employees over the bottom line. In order to keep their stocks from plummeting and... — read more 

Please comment with their name and region.

Because that percentage you chose way back when, will get automatically get deducted to your 401k like it does every pay check. However, this should obviously be a more substantial chunk that you may want up front, instead of going to the 401k. I... — read more 

So far we've had 7 layoffs at my store (marketing team, bakery buyer, beer buyer and wine buyer). It doesn't feel like were even slightly near the end. Grocery still has 6 buyers and 3 supervisors, whole body 3 buyers and 1 sup., produce 2 buyers and... — read more 

I've been at wf for years, and I've seen that if I work hard I am rewarded with a generous raise at my annual review. If I survive the layoffs, I'm guessing it's safe to assume my raise will be more like the $.25 you get at any other bs corporate... — read more 

Store management is totally absent

Anyone heard anything?

Should I have a lawyer? Is for every 2,000 service hours I receive one week of pay really a nice package? If I was to stay the maximum amount of hours 29 part time is not guaranteed. What was the email that was sent to the astl and stl that was not... — read more 

Regional offices - how many VP's do you really need?! Take away even one and you would be saving $$$$$$! Or how about all the bonuses and stock that is given to Presidents and VP's? Did they vote to cut any of that for even a year? Now that would... — read more 

Such wasteful events. W.Robb barks out orders, spends so much $$$ on bs just to feed his ego. None of top leadership has respect for work/life balance and few belong in positions of leadership. Hires his son to do video work and JM has most of his... — read more 

Was let go from Lamar Culinary (with no package) so that they could gut and build another Wellness Club medical facility. Wasn't that a proven disaster in at least 5 stores yet were doing it again??? All kinds of jobs posted for non team members.

I'm devastated today, really. You can keep your 25 cent coffee, your $500 gift cards, your feigned customer appreciation. I shop (shopped) at WFM because of your team members- plain and simple. You are (were) a different kind of grocery buying... — read more 

Where is your confusion coming from? I've worked for WFM for 14 years. At some point, after years and years of hearing that it's a "good company to work for," there's a small part of me that would like to believe it's true. Isn't that a logical... — read more 

That shit sucks. I understand the purpose, but goddamn it sucked. One year we had to do it every month. I worked in a million dollar a week store too, so there was a lot to count. No more of that bullshit. One more thing, f*** you whole foods.

More layoffs are coming. Unionize before it is too late and you are gone too.

Sure, let's discontinue high selling items-that are somepeople's favorite items-for bullshit reasons like "they don't tell a story" and "they're not whole foods enough", but not provide suitable replacements, that'll for sure get us sales. Oh, and on... — read more 

Whole foods is a debt free company, opening new stores with cash every week and doing multi-million dollar renovations in the outdated stores. What they have is an image problem!!! This only makes it worse!!! Too many cooks in the leadership kitchen... — read more

I am very disappointed and disgusted on how my fallen co workers got threated. Can I resign and get the severance package when I didn't get cut?

Is this a thing? With a severance package? Because this is not the place I want to work for anymore.

What happens to PTO, what happens if you hit the pto mark during the period before you leave?

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
