I plan to give notice by the end of the month. I'm becoming a little nostalgic. Who on this forum remembers WF's golden years?

I feel horrible when I do work for two people while others who have somehow managed to become favorites just stand there, talk and do almost nothing. In addition I am terribly underpaid for the amount of work I do. Sometimes I ignore it and... — read more 

I have been following this forum for a long time and I wouldn't want to offend anyone, but how come everyone thinks they are hard workers? I know the person who does a really sloppy job, but she also says that she is a hard worker. There seems to... — read more 

I've passed my 1 year mark. When am I supposed to have it? What happens if my tl doesn't doesn't give me one?

I remember when our schedules were realistic and we would get appropriate time off. I remember when I could turn to the STL for help and I would get it. I remember when we used to hire people who had skills that made them an asset to the store. WFM... — read more 

Why can't it be one of the many terrible ones in the region?

I feel sorry when I see some people think that it's enough to just work hard and that someone will notice and value it. No they won't! No one will notice it if you don't make sure they notice it. WFM is full of employees who work little but make... — read more

Can anyone shed light on the truth behind the installation of all the cameras in the stores? All the money spent on them cannot just be to monitor theft. Now we're being watched and our conversations being monitored too??? What about our rights?

It seems now that WFM has many of us multi tasking, doing multiple jobs and then they have the nerve to walk up to me and say I had overtime. When technically they should be paying for 2 different positions, but are having trouble hiring. What a F... — read more 

I’ve been here for half a year and I’m leaving at the beginning of next month. I can't wait for my last day here. I don't feel sorry for those waiting to be laid off even though they can find better offers, but I do feel sorry for all those old... — read more

I'm not going to get into the dollar amounts that I have to pay out of pocket but our insurance is obscene. I have a daughter and basically it barely even covers her. How do they get away with offering such terrible insurance? Tell me if I'm wrong... — read more 

Does anyone know if the Southwest Region base pay will be changing soon?

Escalating oil prices translate into bigger grocery bills. Given that many consumers are affected, I wonder how this will affect WFM. Will the company be faced with looming losses? I hope that the coming period will not be much worse than when the... — read more 

Since I still haven't heard any new rumors about cuts, I guess that means there won't be any soon? I hope so anyway. Given my age, I no longer feel a desirable employee here and I definitely intend to leave. Still, I’d rather go on my own than... — read more 

Does anyone know if order writers can participate in inventory. I heard no.

I don't like what I'm hearing. Is it true that health insurance will go downhill? If I knew for sure that this was true, I would immediately give notice.

I felt terrible for months, because for everything that was not good in our store, the manager blamed us. How often do you feel guilty that things are not going well in your store? If we are such bad employees, why did WFM hire us in the first... — read more 

^ That doesn't happen in my store. However, according to some writing here, it could be concluded that there are a lot of those who do long shifts with no breaks. Of particular concern is "no breaks". Is it possible? I would automatically give... — read more 

I was thinking about applying for an open grocery order writer job at a nearby store. Someone told me that that the order writer job is going to be discontinued soon. If that is going to happen, I don’t want to apply. Does anyone out there know if... — read more 

I don't know what is more ridiculous, the fact that someone didn't see this coming and act preemptively, or that the answer is to take a bread called Russian Rye off sale and have all signage pulled because of the Russian/Ukraine conflict. A team... — read more 

Just heard they are getting rid of all of them by converting them to WF employees. What do you guys think about this? we all seem pretty understaffed so it should be interesting to see what happens

I heard a rumor that grocery and Whole Body were going to be combined again. Any truth to this, what about other teams??

a bunch of people (mostly vets) were fired from my store for time theft because of the time clock being down.... i really think the company did that on purpose to replace higher paid employees with minimum wage kids. thats how low i think of this... — read more

The produce tl in my store didn't even lift a finger to help in his floral dept. And store leadership did nothing about it.

i dont understand how some people let higher ups overwork them because the company is broken. bare minimum is standing up for yourself when you get pushed around in life. you dont have to stay past your shift, you dont have to skip breaks, you dont... — read more 

I often visit this forum to check if there are any new rumors and I was really disappointed how many people here think that some of us do not deserve to be paid more because we are not educated as doctors, dentists etc. Obviously some think that we... — read more

The labor shortage is real, folks. We're all overworked and trying to be in three places at once because nobody is applying. The few that are applying and are hired are here for a few days before they stop showing up. For once, I can't blame WFM. I... — read more
