Thread regarding Whole Foods Market Inc. layoffs

NorCal Marketing Update

Has anything been settled regarding the remaining marketing "team"? Is there a practical plan of application in place, or is it the usual confusion and knee jerk responses?

Well, now that the dust has settled, here's how it played out for NorCal mktg. Postings currently up for SF, Tri Coco, South Bay, Reno and Fresno. They did not even have enough MMLs left who wanted to hang around. Severance was an option or you could take a LOA for 30 days to find another WFM job. Talent - walking out the door. Original count of 24 whittled down to a hopeful 13 - and that did not even happen. How is it possible to more with less?

One more MML gave notice in NC this week so that's 3 total so far out of 21. They are supposed to be working on the job description but nothing so far. PBS has heard they will be restructured but I don't think they have any details either. That's the disturbing thing- they obviously want people to leave in their own and then see who's left.

Been wondering myself. Seems like that should be settled in the next week or two. Wonder if severance was an option and which of the "favorites" got picked this round. lol.
