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

I can't believe this broke in another region before it hit others. Who f@&ked that one up?

I worked for a meat tl that didn't know how to cut meat and padded his inventory by freezing rotten turkey carcasses, and an atl that also didn't know how to cut meat or set a case, and ultimately got charged with molesting 2 children. Why were these... — read more 

This is a classic example of an idea that started great and has become an ugly monster. John M can NOT STAND Christina because he has always known her type. The ends justify the means and anything for a buck. As RP she has bloated our region with... — read more 

Just wanted to wish all fellow WFM team members good luck. May there be even better opportunities to us in the future, Take care!

This is the start of selling the company. You build big, cut jobs that aren't attractive to buyers, then sell out. It's grocery retail at its finest. And to put in there 1.8% is the owners saying "what? It's no big deal". Lol.

Was told I had to make a decision on what I want to do today but I havent been told what my pay cut will be or if I will even remain full time. I'm not signing anything until I get straight answers.

After hearing some of these venomous statements, it hit me that this may be a genius way to find out who really should be here. Did you know that zappo's offers their new team members a "buy out" to see which ones really want to be there? Makes you... — read more 

Don't be surprised if you see onn the news of TM'S that got fired going into the stores and start a shooting .

FL Region had quite a few of their meetings or "reconstructures" done on Friday, along with several other Regions. The fact they want no one to share information is laughable. They advocate a "shared fate" but then want complete secrecy? I THINK NOT... — read more
