Sucks to be in this pickle.

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?

Trying to have some positivity whats your favorite WFM time?

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

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?

Just wondering if anyone can confirm, and which regions.

Just landed here. Wow! Feels like a discussion board on Twitter steroids... It's overwhelming...

"While you may not be the spokesperson for this clusterfuck, I have an onslaught of new information that I wish to share."
