I got my first work experience here and I’m grateful for that, but it’s time to move on. Is it possible to make a comparison of WFM with some other grocery / retail companies? Your opinions would mean a lot to me, where it is worth trying to find a... — read more

Do you predict that there will be Whole Foods layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
Here’s the real problem.
The reason we all left a few years ago is because we could see the writing on the walll. We could see that this is where it was going. OTS was the final straw for most of us. It’s too bad but those of you left behind but you are in a situation that... — read more
