what tech team?
Tech has never been WFM strong point and it never will be. Nothing is well implemented and the deployments are always horrendous.
dear global tech team....why did you design a platform where the end use-the point of purchase affects the order guide in amazon for what customers see as available???? if a ccustomer misrings an item it will put an out of stock item,that has been marked out of stock by a worker back into the system so then more order will come in for said item throughout the day???? causing more of the dreaded INFs!!!!!!!!!! get ya system in order before you start to hold team members accountable for your sh#t show....
The only reward at WFM is the paycheck nothing to be proud of working here.
While tech leadership has been typically tight-lipped about this, from reading between the lines I'm gathering that the tech teams will continue to consolidate. And while this will create opportunities for folks within the company as new teams and new positions are created, it will lead to lower body counts for remaining teams, who will then have to pick up the slack. Ultimately, those who do not move up will find their roles, while still valuable on the surface, to be less and less rewarding.
