Is anyone else who was laid off on Sept 29th still having issues with getting Cobra coverage?

I'd like to say when Amazon took over, but things were going downhill even before then. It has just been getting worse and worse. And to think I used to love working here. Not just loved, I was genuinely proud of working at Whole Foods. Now all I do... — read more 

Fire the scanner specialist. All he does is sit in the office & take up space. “Pretends” to work on fixing a scale or computer. Takes down signs we put up. I can print my own g-d d tags.

I am thinking about applying for order writer for grocery at a different store. Someone at my store said the job is going to be gone soon. Anyone know if this is true? Does anyone know when it will be gone???? I don’t want to change stores and then... — read more 

Anyone heard of more store closings??

I'm I reading this right. Whatever I put in for the year. There gonna cut it in half and then...... 4% of that half😐😐😐

The EC's or whatever they are called now are worried as three regions will be coming.

What changes are planned to happen in q4? Closures? Layoffs? Restructure?

Monday starts my last five days at Whole Foods.. AMEN!!!

Another t-shirt, no wfm or Amazon logos. Another thing to color- hopefully only hand drawings allowed- not AI generated. Like last years.

For those who got a severance in CA.. how long from your last till you got your money deposited

If you are wondering if if can be manipulated, the answer is --YES!!!!! My leadership does it all the time for their schedules.

Not sure how it's going to work with bakery or prep but it doesn't sound like a great idea. I know store receivers are a couple years from being eliminated

What are your thoughts on trying to start a Union?

There's two WD stores near my wfm. Looking forward to it.

I know our reputation has gone downhill and whatnot but i heard that some stores are cutting their hot bar/salad bar/etc in half? Is this just the first step to get rid of the entire department?

It seems that this is the reality for most of us, we perform many more duties than was initially in our job description?

We know you're out there lurking. It's your time to shine! This is a layoffs FORUM for heaven's sake! You're witnessing a sea change, and we want to know how it's going! I for one remember when we acquired a smaller chain that used Unysys for it's... — read more 

On one hand every store is short staffed and almost all the good employees are gone, the people left are begging for new hires, etc On the other hand i WATCH EVERYDAY as TM's get asked to do multiple jobs, stay late, work outside of their job... — read more 

How is Unisys support now that STSS are gone? Are tech issues being fixed any quicker?

It starts August 21st. Let the comedy begin!

Seen a few posts with this but no details. What does this mean and is it for all teams?

I was laid off after 15 years and they tried to offer me my job back on my last day (plus 2 other peoples’ jobs lol). It was complete chaotic disorganization at the top. I took the generous severance and ran to my new, higher paying job. I feel... — read more 

Who will be let go next?

Tables are done! Finally! Amen!

Most of the people I've talked to would never advise anyone to work here. Maybe you would?? I don't believe so.

That store is now in its 3rd STL since it open and mostly all new TL's. What a waste!

My store has not had any phones working in almost a week! How the fu-k does that happen?

Can someone tell us what it is? I heard it starts 7/4

Used to be a great company, but really started going downhill about 8 years ago. It really started when instead of being the leaders in the industry, and we were, we started being the followers and made everyone our competition. We never worried... — read more 

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 customer misrings an item it will put an out of stock item, that has been... — read more

I am an E-commerce TL and have been told I must shop 6 hours per shift but still get all my other TL and admin tasks done. Anyone else experience this?

Did anyone else randomly get blocked from WFM TM reddit?

Morale has been terrible for at least 5 years. It's a different company and will never change back. They pay a lot better then competition, unless you are lazy. That is why they are able to keep people. Either you are making good money compared... — read more 

I'm a little nostalgic, although I know that I shouldn't be dwelling on the past too much, but look for a new job more intensively. Golden years will not return.

I asked our STSS about our holiday tables and he laughed at me.
