Were all buyers and supervisors given the chop in the south? I'm in the Midwest and I'm hearing conflicting reports.

If true leaders would actually get rid of the dead weight then this would not be happening. The sad part is the company is going to lose a ton of badass employees and be stuck with that complacent dead weight. WHOLE FOODS MARKET YOU JUST SHOT... — read more 

Thanks. I am now unable to afford my medication needed to control an incurable genetic disease until I can find work that offers benefits good enough to cover it (hahaha) and qualify for them. F*** YOU. As decent as the healthcare was it was still... — read more 

Severance pay will not pay for a college education to fuel the problem occurring in the current corporate world that has overcome WFM as of recently. No wonder John Mackey didn't show his face in the Charlotte stores two weeks ago as he was expected... — read more 

I'm a team member. I'm loyal to whole foods. I was with M's Gooch's who was bought out by WFM. I m in the same position I have been for 30 years with out being caped out. I have been a ATL. I am a Meat Cutter. Yet I'm in entirely at different job, I... — read more 

I'm a team member from the south region, I have to say that asking very important roles of the store to quit within four days or to reapply is a total social irresponsibility. My team, which rakes in 37 % of store sales is now down three 40 hour... — read more 

Just sayin...

It's winers like you all that put us in this position in the first place. Since when do you need positions like bakery receivers, concierges, or assistant bulk buyers. When you have a store with 40 plus job types, what do you expect?

This is seriously an excellent smear campaign you guys have cooked up.

I mean, seriously.

I feel so warm and fuzzy.

The Store Scan Specialist just found him hanging from a beam in the grocery backstock! What the hell is happening!

It's so obvious.

I've heard rumors of a possible buyout at some point... has anyone else heard this? And what is the likelihood of another restructure in the near future? This is so ridiculous. I had such faith in this company at one point, but now it's all gone to... — read more 

FYI, this is a hoax that was started by the people behind "the fight for 15." Y'all are being played.

Looks like an earlier post was deleted that quoted the regional president about these not being layoffs or pay cuts, but a restructuring. Can someone repost? I'm assuming it was deleted because an unfaltering photo was attached to one of the... — read more 

I left WFM last year after more than 12 years with the company...but it breaks my heart to see so many of those I consider friends in this mess right now. Whole marketing teams, buyers, supervisors.... It's sad to know that a company I believed... — read more 

I have good information that marketing TMs are being given the option to work on a website John Mackey will be unveiling later this year, called "Whole Capitalism."

They never cared about us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rYPp4ofXAs This is an interview with John Mackey arguing against the minimum wage. From about a month ago.

I can't believe the got rid of our sanitation TM today, after 25 years. He was a sweet old retarded man, who didn't really do anything, but was very friendly. At the end of his shift, they took him out back, and shot him in the head! I'm still in... — read more 

They put awful, absolutely incompetent people in team leader positions, the company is being run by clowns. It's sad because there are so many talented team members, but in order to be in management you have to be soulless and willing to sell out... — read more 

Anyone know anything about stores set to open? Are they on hold?

At my store today, they killed several puppies in a sacrifice to the ghost of John Mackey, which, doesn't really make sense, considering he is still alive.

i was with that company for almost 10 years...it has changed soooo much! They have gone from a company you could feel proud to say you were a part of to a company I'm ashamed to say I once believed in. It's so sad to see tm happiness thrown out the... — read more 

A rumor going around in my region is that this is a possibility. I know last year there were several articles over it however, the restructuring leads me to believe it might be true. As well as a smear campaign from the media to devalue the company... — read more 

Until the press release is out and restructuring comes to global, I don't plan to spend my paycheck on home turf. The company is not making wise use of available resources.

Mid Atlantic region has mandatory TL/ATL meetings tomorrow. Expect layoffs in one of the best performing regions... after months of bullying TLs to cut labor, push employees harder, be more strict with no OT and more Corrective Actions. Sad.

In the 5 years I was with the company it changed dramatically. I lost any hope of growing with the company (despite consistently advancing in the ranks) because I realized that it was becoming just another grocery chain as fast as possible while... — read more
