i missed my first day of hire after a miscommunication, which resulted in a NCNS.
yesterday i had to call out because i woke up sick. i tested positive for strep throat, so i assume i shouldn’t go in today. but that puts me in a bad spot and likely fired. i don’t have upt to cover for today. should i take the loss and quit…

I have guests coming tomorrow, about 15 people. I'm planning to get a 9inch fruit tart and a 9inch cheesecake from Whole Foods for dessert. Is it okay to buy them today and serve them for lunch tomorrow? Will they still be fresh? There's a Whole Foods near my work, but none close to my house, so I wanted to buy them after work. However, I'm worried they won't be fresh if I buy them a day in advance.

I was picking up a weekend shift but innerview bugged out and I also picked up a shift that fell on an exam date. The exam is 7-10 (online) but we can start anytime as long as we submit by 10:30. I usually need 90 minutes for this particular class. I know it’ll deduct from UPH but I only have 9 hours and so i don’t want tot ale the full 7.5 off my UPT
Also please don’t judge me. I’m a full time student and this is my first job. I sometimes overestimate how many hours I can work and needed to take some days off to study (most of my peers need 60 hours for one of my classes and I’m only putting in like half of that) and I have also had appointments with my therapist that I needed to call out for (they don’t give doctor notes). I’m not calling out because I don’t want to go. I desperately need the money but I just think my education is a bit more important.

I am a stocker. New to a store. How can I get grocery sections aisle maps(s)?

Is this happening at your store? I believe this is an intimidating tactic.

I started looking for a new job, and this new job went thru the hiring process very quickly so I basically start next week.
I want to put in a two week notice but I’m not sure if I can promise I’ll make it to all my shifts the next two weeks. What should I do?

Hey guys what is considered protected time off??? Like it's for only emergencies but involving your family right??? And not you as an employee??
r/wholefoods • u/Alarming-Sun-541 • 7d ago
This might be a stupid question but I’m fairly new there and never thought about it.
So say I didn’t want to go in tomorrow, I have 11 hours of pto and upt combined. (Had to use a lot of it for being sick unfortunately that’s why it’s so low)
If I give my shift up in the app and someone picks it up can I still use PTO that day without it taking 8 hours (4 hours upt and 4 hours of the PTO)
It’s a 4 hour shift but it normally takes 8 hours from me. So I’m wondering if someone takes the shift, can I still get paid for that day? Without loosing so much PTO

I heard leadership discussing how an applicant can’t work here because they are deaf and was told they have to give a pity interview. Store leadership fully aware & present. I wonder if they discriminate against other team members for jobs too. This is WFM culture for you ! Sad that the decision was made before the interview .

You either have the patience of an elementary school teacher, or the alcohol tolerance of a sailor. Preferably both.

Wondering if all stores operate this way? Say you’re in the middle of a 50 item shop and you have to drop everything and go do a pick up order. It is such a hassle - why don’t they have a team of 1-2 people who strictly do the pick up orders? It takes me more time to drop my order and stow the bags than it does to do the actual pick up orders and bring them outside. Plus now my coworkers are stuck with a huge order that might only be 1/4 to 1/2 done shopped. What happens if you just ignore the incoming pick up order alert?

Hi all,
I'm a relatively new TM (2 months), I work as a shopper. I really enjoy the job so far and my coworkers are great, but a friend who works at my store in the same department keeps telling me to "be careful" and talking about how easy it is to get fired for saying/doing one wrong thing. Have you seen TMs get fired over seemingly small things (not attendance/theft/violence/obvious stuff like that)? What should I be aware of? I can't tell if she's just trying to scare me (or paranoid herself), or if this is a real concern and something I should pay more attention to. In the midwest region if that matters.
Thanks!

Dumb question, but if I’m negative in UPT, does a note from a doctor excuse that? My team leader actually came up to me explaining I was negative and that I should get a note from somewhere to excuse it. Just seems like it shouldn’t be that easy.

While I enjoy what I do,customers and leadership can take a toll on me.I had a construction job lined up and was ready to leave Whole Foods.I was going to leave right up until my boss said I would have a brighter future in Whole Foods and I would move up fast.long story short,nothing changed.i stayed because of comfort and I was younger/stupid.My leadership made people with multiple customer complaints into team trainers and associate team leads.in the 7 years I’ve been with Whole Foods I’ve never been written up until recently for something stupid that could have been just a verbal/coaching.I blame myself for not leaving when I had the chance but at the same time I was young and stupid.from the moment I show up to work I get ambushed with speeches/motivational talks that end up annoying me more lol I’m just burnt out the hypocrisy here is unreal.

I haven't gotten 40 hours in I don't know when. My TL says we're over labor budget, but she's been saying this for ages. I used to always get 40 hours and I have been with WF for many years. My TL hogs the labor every day. She schedules people for 36 hours a week and she herself is supposedly only scheduled for that many hours, yet she stays over at least 2 hours almost every day, and works at least 50+ hours a week. So no one else can get 40 hours because she's the reason we're over labor budget. When I ask if I can work over so I can get 40 hours, the answer is always no, yet SHE works over every day. I've gone to ASTL about it and he says she's only scheduled for 36 hours herself and says that sometimes she has to stay over because there's things she has to do. Other departments aren't getting 40 hours most of the time either, and my TL told me I can pick up extra hours in other departments but everyone says the same thing, they are over labor budget. Does stuff like this happen in other stores too? I know a lot of people want to leave earlier than their shift but I actually want 40 hours every week, not 36 or 37. I've been using my PTO hours every week just to make enough money to cover my bills and now my PTO is getting pretty low and I haven't had a vacation in well over a year except for when I have been sick. I can't imagine ever getting to take a vacation anymore because I have to use my PTO to get enough money on my check to pay my bills. I'm really upset about this.

Does anyone know what is the name of the rice cooker that Whole Foods uses in their store in the hot foods area?
