WFM in Detroit is linked to Hepatitis A. One of the two people is reported to be a team member. www.seekingalpha.com
Be careful....
Don't trust your STL. They say one thing and do another. Believe me..I know.
Stumbling Bumbling Along
The apparent stumbles of the two CEOs leads to another burning question: is Whole Foods' 11 member board providing the proper checks and balances, especially given two years of dreadful performance?
If you continue to hire part time TM's, you will have to continue to rehire part time TM's.
Part time TM's don't care and don't stay. It becomes more expensive to keep rehiring employees. Not to mention they call out leaving us high and dry.
Discount on pizza?
Is there a TM discount on a slice of pizza? I haven't been getting it.
Gainsharing

ASTL TL Regional Global
We know you guys troll this site. What's your input on these post? Or do you even give 2 f----. Probably not since the recent changes don't effect you physically or financially. You still make your 6 figure salary plus bonuses. But i could be... — read more
Murder
Is my store the only one that let's customers get away with murder? I work in one of the Atlanta stores and my leadership has no backbone when it comes to supporting tms even when they know the customer is wrong. Our STL yells at tms, talks down to... — read more

How to cash in PTO?

Benefit category level change for TL?
The new postings are for level 1. This used to be a level 2 benefit position. Can any TLs confirm if they kept their level 2 or have they quietly just changed this without notification?
I have an interesting story about what just happened to me, but I need someone to kick out the corporate trolls first.
It is interesting, believe me. But I have to be careful about telling it just yet.
Why would Kroger even want WFM?
Rumors of Kroger buyout of WFM are, at least in the opinion of one analyst, unfounded. As he put it, "Why would Kroger want it?" At this point, I doubt any other retailer in their right mind would want to buy WFM. Why buy a sinking ship? The rumor... — read more
It's getting worse
I can't speak for any other stores but I work in one of the atlanta stores and it's getting worse by the day. Leadership offers no support, TLs are either all over the place or have no clue what to do because everyday they are being told to make... — read more
Such a shame
To watch this company go down the crapper and feel so powerless.
The Negotiations have begun...
Kroger and Whole Foods have completed the first round of negotiations. Did they make the stocks jump? Yes they did...next time is for how high. Legacy stores will go to Kroger and the 365 will go to the ego. Let's get those back rooms cleared out and... — read more

Getting PT20
What are my chances of becoming PT20 after my 90 days? Is it something I have to beg for? Is there a consecutive week rule over 20 hours where they have to make me PT20? Will they cut my hours that one week so I won't qualify? Thanks

Store manager telling me to quit
I requested 6-5 months in advance time off in Christmas to visit my family. I got a YES from my manager, I'm part time. Then I'm being pretty much harassed to QUIT before I leave on vacation by the store manager. But of course they requested me to be... — read more
Low labor hours but the vp gets a secretary
So our hours are cut month to month and we are expected to do the same or more, but the vp and rvp each have a personal assistant to help book flights, hotel rooms, meetings..... I would bet they make at least $30 an hour too. How is this cost... — read more
Lidl (German owned European grocer) is opening 150 U.S. stores by 2018.
Look up the Schwartz Group...they are #2 behind Walmart. Why is no one at WFM talking about this? This is much bigger than TJs ....

Job Titles Changing W/O An Interview
Wish Global TMS would do an audit of all the recent job title changes that occurred without an interview. These magickal promotions further diminish the morale in locations where other TMs (who have a similar job title/benefit level), actually had to... — read more
Too much sugar in store
If we claim to be a health food store than why do a lot of our products have a lot of sugar in them? Maybe our store should be renamed- Whole Diabetes Market.
