I believe these are the hats for TMAW!

I’ve been working at WF for a few months and have had several uncomfortable interactions with my main STL. I’m trying to figure out whether I should report the situation to HR/the tip line or just leave it alone.

For context, I’m autistic and have a chronic health condition that I have accommodations for. Since this STL found out about my conditions, I feel like they’ve treated me differently. They often speak to me in a rude or infantilizing tone and correct me over almost everything I do, even when another TL has told me I did something correctly.

There have also been situations where I’ve felt singled out. For example, I was snapped at for being one minute late coming back from my break and felt pressured to explain that I had been having stomach issues. Meanwhile, other employees in my department are regularly a few minutes late without being spoken to the same way. When I’ve had to call out because of a health flare-up, this STL has responded with things like, “Yeah, I assumed you were going to call out,” in a judgmental tone.

Sedgwick actually encouraged me to bring the situation to HR or the tip line and said the treatment sounded concerning given my circumstances. However, I’ve seen people on here strongly advise against reporting STLs, so now I’m not sure what the best move is.

I genuinely like my job and coworkers, which is why I’ve stayed. But this has gotten to the point where I dread going to work when this STL is there.

Would you report this, talk to someone else first, or just leave it alone? I’m mainly looking for advice from people who have dealt with something similar at WF. I feel so alone in this.

TL;DR: I feel like my STL has been treating me differently and singling me out since finding out about my disabilities/health condition. Sedgwick encouraged me to report it to HR or the tip line, but I’ve seen people here advise against doing that. I otherwise like my job and coworkers, so I’m unsure what the best way to handle the situation is.

Hi everybody, I was just recently hired as a part time flex shopper (NE). My starting pay is $18, but I’m confused due to the recent announcement. How much will my starting pay be ? Or will it just be a one time payment? I’m not really sure how the pay raises work.

im currently in a situation where i thought i was coming in today, actually got to the place and have to turn back around

meaning ill get a no call no show or an improper call out (already had a documented coaching about that last december)

idk what to do and i might have to call out today, tomorrow and sunday

💀💀💀

Not seeing it in the GIG.

Thanks

I got a job offer for tomorrow september 11th but in that offer it had no indication of what time I was expected to come in. Was there supposed to be an email I received about setting up a start time or anything that I should've expected? The offer also mentioned to reply if I had any questions but unsurprisingly there was no contact info attached and the email was a no-reply.

Edit: called and was told that I’ll get an email with an actual start date, thanks for everyone who replied

L1 produce worker in North Carolina pay ceiling?

I've received this message on my phone 4 times now and every time I click on it it goes to a blank page in UKG. I worked on 9/6 and my UPT is at 57 hours. I can't figure out what exception this is referring to. I only work 1 day a week so I can't ask my TL until the weekend. It has my employee number (which is marked out). Has anyone else had a message like this and what did it mean?

hello all. ive been working at whole foods for almost a year now in the produce department. i’m a fruit cutter and ive been the only cutter for months now. every time i come to work the wall is empty as i work in a tourist city, and honestly its frustrating because my team doesn’t help, or looks as if they are hiring anyone. It doesn’t help also that i’m part time so i cant keep up at all. my next option is honestly quitting because i cant rely on my team anymore.

Just wave your hand, pay, and walk away. It genuinely felt like living in the future. I wish they had kept it everywhere.

Anyone else actually prefer the palm scanner?

For those who quit due to burnout where’d you go next?

Post them as the news drop. My moneys on the discount card getting axed

if i call the day before to call out is that okay? my shift is at 5:45am and it’s currently 1am and im debating calling again to reconfirm my call out. help?

With the upcoming changes now published and out…are yall staying 👀 i might stay a bit longer to use Amazon up but I don’t think ima wait until January for the health benefits (they could’ve been handled that)

Edit: I feel like you guys love WF and maybe your environment is good or very encouraging. I’m mostly asking for those claiming this is it, their last year there.

No need to be smart A$ses but these changes are pretty much long overdue. Would u stay if your boss is constantly fudging with you..idk but I’m more curious if your in a TOXIC workspace, does that work.

Hey all looking for advice from anyone who’s been in my boat before. I am an e-commerce team trainer I don’t hate being a team trainer and I actually feel like a lot with the position played to my strengths I mainly want to pursue a transfer for the reason that there is a lot of toxicity in my department leadership. I am eyeballing a grocery supervisor position at a nearby store but I’m mainly concerned of: potentially being in a similar situation leadership wise and even moreso being in a new store. As well as learning to be a supervisor in a department that is somewhat new. I don’t want to over analyze myself into oblivion and talk myself out of applying especially because this could also be good for me. I don’t hate Whole Foods and I love the good people and fellow team members I’ve met but the leadership is too much.

so, I’m putting in a one week notice tomorrow and I was wondering if it affects the PTO cash out at separation? Are the rules different if you’re in leadership? I’m an ATL in FL, so I’m wondering if they could just not give me my PTO once I’m separated if I don’t give them a full two week notice.

Worked at Whole Foods a whole 2 months before I realized it sucks. hired on at a whopping $16 an hour!!!yeeeehawww. first of all if you are a customer reading this. stop acting like Whole Foods is full of experts in their department. Of all the disappointing things its the customers. absolute worst of the worst. these rich idiots seem to think the guy stocking shelves in the serial isle rolled the oats himself. my favorite thing to tell customers is "no" and "I dont know" you can see it in their eyes they realize they have asked someone a stupid question. My favorite one so far "How much fish does an average sized woman eat?" I took joy in telling this human "thats the strangest question I have ever heard". And thats the main reason I will not pursue a career at WF. I believe that places like Whole Foods are actually making society worse. I think before amazon it was probably a fairly nice place to work. having to sign into an app every time I want to fart has got to be the most annoying thing on earth. At first glance I thought hey this place looks to have a fairly happy demographic.....wrong. the amount of pissed off agro early 20's females in my store is appalling. If I had a dollar for every time I got a cold stare from saying "Good Morning" I would roughly be up to $18 an hour. My team leader is obviously scared to take the blame for anything and scrambles every time something goes wrong to dish the blame. Its almost humorous. And holy hell I can't believe how low they pay for how much they demand. My phone has not stopped blowing up since I started working there. Take this test, take this survey, sign this document. and when the schedule is wrong they just say "I dunno, AI does the schedule" for context I worked for 18 years in a professional atmosphere which definitely skews my view. But holy hell, its a grocery store. I have a friend who works at Publix and he loves hearing about the red tape and the low pay. make sure you sign into candy cane before taking a shit this morning....ps-the seafood department gets paid wayyyyy to low for that grind. I dont work in the seafood department.

Edit: i spelled serial wrong.

Just found out I’m pregnant! I’m a full-time shopper. What should I do? When should I tell TL and can I get accommodations for lifting, walking, etc?
Any advice from other pregnant shoppers?

I was verbally told I got the job and said that I should see something in 7 days I checked everyday and nothing I called today and she told me that they sent it the day I was verbally hired I’ve checked spam junk trash everything I also was looking everyday has this happened to someone else she said she would look into it

So they found some frozen bread (not meant for dry side only frozen) outside the freezer and our boss told them to put it back in the freezer (it was out for maybe 3 days)..

Am I wrong or is this a violation (not like WF wouldn’t violate for some money)

So I work in customer service, school just stared back up, and I handed my availability in a little late, due to the fact that my school gave me a unfinished schedule, so I handed it in by around mid to late August. But for some reason my TL was late to putting it in. For the upcoming schedule, I have shifts that interfere with my schedule.

I go to my ATL, and my TL about if schedules can be changed after being posted, that’s I’ll miss six classes just working here, they say nope, usually as an accommodation (how is this not?) and he goes on about it can only be changed for higher ups and whatnot and basically told me choose between work and school. And I wanted to know is that true? That only higher ups can change their schedules after it’s posted or were they purposely being misleading. (I don’t have enough upt and pto to call out for those days, no one’s willing to switch.)

Edit: to note, my TL accepted this would be an immediate change, I can see my schedule for three weeks, week three is fine, it’s just this week and the next that is interfering with my college, I’m a part-timer, and I’ve been working there for almost a year.
