One thing that frustrates me about this site is you have to sift through ten questions or responses to find any resemblance of fruitful dialogue. When the ideal is sharing information that helps inform others it often reverts to petty or quite frankly mind numbing discussion.
Most forums have some kind of moderation system to address this, we don't here. That's both a blessing and a curse. It then comes down to us to self regulate. For example, do I really want to read about not receiving free pizza slices anymore? Personally, I don't. But for those that do is that really what is of prime importance? This site will be what you make it and we all have the right to post what we want, I just happen to be more concerned about those that are losing their jobs due to combing teams, those who are affected by any kind of restructure, and that people seeking input on sensitive matters can get meaningful information to make the best choices for themselves.
On a completely other note here are a few key points while working for Whole Foods
-
Work your a-- off because that's who you are, never change your output based on others.
-
Never go to TMS about a concern that is above the TL level, this s---s but it's true. I have seen people be "low keyed" black balled. Word of advice here, have your ducks in a row. The only thing regional TMS wants to know about is harassment, if they pretend otherwise it's bs. Any other concerns they have are more towards proper flow of paperwork, injury's, workman's comp, etc.
-
Yes combined TL's will have new wage guidelines
-
At the end of Q1 many TL's will not have found a new role and will lose their jobs.
-
Some regions have/will be raising the TM minimum. Will every TM get a raise because of this? No.
If anyone has any questions ask in the reply, I'll do my best to answer.
