Minardi/NE named Global All*Stars 2015

The woman in charge of the region that caused the weights and measures scandal that had serious consequences on WFM's reputation across the country is being rewarded as Global All Star. The same year the scandal broke! Sure, the NE makes a lot of money for the company, but it's also the region where Core Values go to die. Does this make sense to anyone?

Of course she's an All-Star---just think of all the money the company made on those flawed weights/measures that she was either inexcusably unaware of or perhaps deliberately looking the other way on. Even after paying fines, the company probably came out ahead! So, it only makes sense that such a corrupt organization as WFM has become would reward unethical behavior! Once upon a time, the All Star award meant something (at least 10 years ago) good. Now, if you want to know who some of the worst, most dishonest, most incompetent leaders are at WFM, just check out the All-Star list (apologies to anyone who may have recently earned this reward honestly although I don't know how you managed to do that in the corrupt culture that WFM has become).

She and all the other managerial waste have ran this corporation into the ground. Let's lay off some more people Christina, so that you can hire more friends and family members. #wholefoodsmarket

Unfortunately F0bqX72-ayad, you're wrong about the stealing part. Some TLs in my store straight up steal product CONSISTENTLY and REPEATEDLY, and the ASTL and STL know about this but do nothing. Wanna know why? That TL has some absolutely dope weed, is why, and he smokes up the STL. Pretty sweet deal for them, just not for the rest of the store.

No one in charge ever seems to be held accountable. This is the perfect example. It's always "he/she is learning from their mistakes. They'll do better next time." If you are a TL or in regional, unless you actually steal, there seems to be no accountability for poor performance. STL's seem not to have the authority to step down a TL. And that affects morale for TM's in the stores.

When you are a seasoned veteran in your job, you're not supposed to make these kinds of mistakes with weights and measures. When you lay off whole departments in order to improve your numbers for one year, your company will pay for it down the road. Eliminating the SSI positions in every store has a lot to do with the weights and measures problems now. Eliminating ISE/ISF and reinstating every two-three years causes huge problems in the ranks, with being able to promote knowledgeable TM's.

And regarding the Holiday Blitz walks, I totally agree. Why don't the regional people introduce themselves and say hello, and stop checking emails on their phones in the store while they're walking or standing? Which is an event for which the rest of us would be written up.

She's so full of herself, that she probably believes that "all star" actually means something. Keep pushing that Allegro Christina, you're not only an all star you're also a ROCK STAR! #wholefoodsmarket

Bravo for all these correct and honest posts about the incompetent Minardi. If it wasn't for the TM that have made this region TOP DOG she would be collecting unemployment.Give credit to the TM. They're the ones who deserve the recognition.

TL's and ASTL's from the NE are drinking so much kool aid that the toxic air is coming out of their butts.That's why little Christina & her trolls are so high from all the toxic airs that going up the noses.Giving out awards for what?! Doing a lousy job. Having your tl's & astl's monkeys doing your dirty work. Enjoy your time at the top. I can't wait for all of you to fall on your ass soon. Nothing last for ever you monkeys...

Dear Cristina,

Do you remember when you worked in your family bakery? When you wanted a better life? Well that's what your "employees" not TM want. They work hard and want a better life too but because of greed they have been dismissed by your coorporation. I hope you find it in your heart to give up your lavish lifestyle for the "core values" you preach about.Santa is NOT HAPPY WITH YOUR GREED.
