Thread regarding Whole Foods Market Inc. layoffs

Spot on. To quote a former STL, "I'm not giving you the answers, figure it out". Open door policy at it's finest.

Too many emails from coordinators throwing the teams they oversee under the bus why do you think they will be a thing of the past? Coordinators are to focused on throwing the teams they oversee under the bus to make themselves look good instead of making sure teams succeed. Coordinators dug their own grave especially in norcal and since they kept the failures they will now be globals problems but how will whole foods justify the company failing from global leadership to amazon?

Seeing the inept people at the top is the best part. They offer no solutions to any of the store level problems. If you ever feel stressed just remember the people above you don't care about your well being. Do the bare minimum since you will get a pathetic raise regardless of how well you work. WFM is owned by a multi billion dollar company that chooses to pay low wages and offer garbage insurance for the people that are the back bone of the business. Store level may be low skill work but it is necessary to keep the company going but the higher ups don't care about store level issues.So why should we care about anything our coordinators or regional teams have to say?

The dress code that was updated earlier this year.
My store leadership enforcing it-by posting it at the time clock.
Ha! Ha!

We should get a raise for simply having to deal with the utter ineptitude of some members of store leadership in these regions. Of course, most of them are just out to save themselves and would no sooner throw members of the teams they supposedly support under the bus if it meant looking good to their leadership and global. It's Just one more thing to fall on the backs of the workers.

And don't think that last statement is something thats it's not. Maybe a well-led union could have saved us at some point. But that ship has sailed.

Consider this a cautionary tale to anyone who reads this. If you are considering working for this company. Turn and run away. Run as fast as you can. That is, unless you enjoy punching in just to get sh-t on from multiple sources for 8 hours a day.

The standard line from WFM leadershit is "Solutions not excuses."

SMH...something's never change.

yup. we have been short staffed for years. Our staffing guidance literally says we are allowed 2 part time team members. If we wrote a schedule following staffing guidance we would have 4-10 hours a day unstaffed. Our lines are so long people are abandoning their full carts and hand baskets rather than waiting in lines that reach from the register to dairy. As leadership I am working Overtime overnight. Literally 9 people on our team quit in the same week. Store leadership says your KPI metrics are red. I'm like okay let me know how I can make them green while 10 pallets of load are in the receiving bay the day after it was supposed to be worked also we haven't worked backstock in two months. The PM refill scans we are supposed to do are Fu----g pointless because we haven't finished load or worked backstock but you are going to try to hold us accountable for that when we have 2 TM's! Global says hire to meet In stock demands, regional says you are over staffed. Gloabl and regional do not communicate! Global and Regional get it to fu----g gether you fu--s.
