Thread regarding Whole Foods Market Inc. layoffs

More positions cut

Leadership just had their tribal meeting & came back claiming Bezos spoke & said he wants WFM to be unique and keep doing what makes it so. Then they immediately cut the remaining positions that are able to give each store a local flavor. For a few years now it's been a sh--show of upper management not listening to store level employees. Every store was literally designed differently so universal signage does not fit the fixtures from store to store. TMs are too busy and stressed to even notice when promo signs need to go out and no one wants to spend the time. They are getting a bargain w in house GAs and will now pay a premium for last minute sign corrections and outsourcing jobs that they took for granted. VP of marketing is from Wal Mart now Wfm will look like it- miserable employees and generic visuals. glory days are long gone.

Somebody here knows which positions this post is talking about? It was posted two days ago here: @SlT1QTb-2hxo .

Stop complaining we never needed marketing . It’s a business folks , move on and stop crying . No one paying $20 plus for a sga and nearly $30 for a marketing tl to walk around and sit all day . This what happens when you have a office job
