How much longer do you think WF will be around for?

How much longer do you think this company has? Introducing the 365 concept I think is a sign saying main stores aren't going to continue to prosper, but some people are optimistic. Are you? Why and Why not?

Time to get out of Wall Street's grasp!

An ideal and dreamy solution would be to sell ourselves over to a private equity firm (this is how you leave Wall Street) and grow slow like HEB does in Texas. Maybe our current leadership is doing this right now....making us sellable and viable once... — read more

WFM Workers Union

The CEO has described unions as herpes. He did not feel like a union was necessary because team members were treated well. I think the 4000k health insurance deductible, cuts in gainsharing due to shrinking labor budgets, and increased workload has... — read more

Wal-Mart offers e-shopping.

Today I found out that two WalMart locations in my city will be offering e-shopping. They're hiring two people in each store to shop for the customers to keep up with demand. Kinda too bad WFM is missing out on yet another revenue source. It's only a... — read more

I still love my job but I don't see it lasting

I still love the work but these 50 hour weeks due to being so understaffed are killing me slowly. Every month 2-3 people quit and with labor at a bare minimum it feels like we're barely keeping our head above water every day. Corporate should read... — read more

Aldi

I think 365 is a way to prepare for an Aldi major expansion in the US. They already shred their way through the UK. Am I alone in this thought?

Flash and Nonna's Excellent Adventure

It was great how Flash and Nonna did a canvassing of the DFW stores last week. Keep cutting labor and eliminating positions and then come into all the stores and criticize what's wrong and how we aren't doing things well enough. Then they met with... — read more

wfm is just another crappy retailer to work for now

which is fine, it is what it is. i think many people are having a hard time coming to terms with that though. for years now people that, for whatever reason, had no choice but to work in retail/food service had a pretty good thing going at wfm. the... — read more

What's the deal with the end of the fiscal year?

Everybody seems to be waiting. Something is about to happen but we don't seem to find any info. Anybody has some solid leads? STLs across the regions are in the know but they are keeping their lips sealed.

I bet they are the ones really keeping this site going. Fortunately for them, they have the ability to remain anonymous. I'm sure most people would agree that this site contains the sort of dialogue that a town hall meeting would truly consist of if... — read more 

Who's left WF to go to the competition?

Have any of you left and gone to Wegmans, Trader Joes, or other food services? How is the pay, benefits, and general atmosphere of the work environment? Management? Better same or worse?

Quarry store needs capable store leaders!

Can we please get someone else with a proven track record. Our current store leader has no idea how to improv a store with declining sales/customer count. Our new ASTL is great and is a coach/mentor. That's exactly what the store needs. The other two... — read more
