There was some speculation during the big announcement about whether L1 TMs will get their automatic annual raise if they've been written up. I said that you don't get a raise while on final and some folks disagreed with me. This is the verbiage that comes thru when an L1 is approaching their first year (which is the automatic raise system that was already in place prior to the big announcement):

>
-If your Team Member is on a Final Corrective Action tracked in Workday (from 8/20/23 and beyond) they will not receive the 12-month progression pay increase. However, Team Leaders may consider an increase review the Inkling guide for detailed information (see exceptions and variances section)

So, yes, I believe if you are on an active final on your anniversary you will not be receiving a raise, however your TL can request it once the final drops off. Be sure to take responsibility and keep track of this, and advocate for yourself politely. No one cares as much about your pay as you do!

What should I expect from this position as a part timer? How many hours do i usually get a week. From what I can tell so far ( I start my training in a couple of days) it seems to be a pretty simple job. I’m good with little details and have experience in multiple departments in a grocery store for upwards of 2 years. Any advice would be appreciated

Why aren't WF employees entitled to anytime pay

Since we are Amazon again?

Lol just wanted to make this thread since it still haunts me to this day.

I work early mornings and was running late for work. I drove and sped into the exit of the parking lot, which is closer to the store, rather than entrance. And I brake into someone…….. and who is it???? MY STORE TEAM LEADER 💔💔 I sit in the car for a moment panicking after I parked and then go inside where he’s waiting to see who it is. Fortunately, he told me to be careful (but annoyed, rightfully so). From then on, I have been carefully & slowly driving into the entrance no matter if I’m late or not. *** I know I was 100% in the wrong, please no lectures, I have learned from it & extremely grateful nothing else happened***

Please share your embarrassing moments, I would love to hear them so we can all feel better lol

I had requested Saturday off and it was approved but I was scheduled that day. I hadn’t seen I was scheduled since I’m a part-time shopper so I usually check at the beginning of every week to put it in my reminders. My TL messaged me and told me why I didn’t come in.

I thought maybe I read the request wrong and it hadn’t been approved so I went to check and it was approved.

I’m confused why I was scheduled if it was approved, will this affect my upt? Was I supposed to call in since I was on schedule?

If UPT gets deducted I will br negative so I’m worried. I’m already on the verge of getting a warning since I didn’t call out in time a while back. I was told if nothing else happens as in a missed shift or something then I should be good but this is way too recent after they just spoke to me.

I was told by my TL

that customers can take anything off are e commerce carts

if its convenient for them

like the green produce bags

don’t know customers had free range

Question is in the subject. To clarify, I have bought New Balance in an actual store before, and they are fine, but I have 3 pairs of New Balance from Shoes for Crews that are like medieval torture. Can anyone name a single good shoe so I don't waste my credits again? Men's shoes, if it matters. I am Grocery, so I don't need any special safety precautions, just something to stand 8 hours a day in.

Hey everyone! I interviewed for a Produce position on Thursday morning. The interviewer told me Thursday was the last day of interviews and asked me to give them 48 hours to make a decision, but I haven’t heard anything yet.
She asked me about handling stress, whether I was comfortable helping with floral and lifting heavy items, my availability, and my previous Whole Foods experience. I used to work there as a Prime Shopper and cashier. She also asked why I left, and I explained that it was part-time and I needed more hours to cover my bills. I told her I enjoyed working there and would love to grow with the company. She asked who my old manager was and what he would say about me, and I explained that I’m reliable, show up for work, and communicate well.
The interview ended on a friendly note, but she didn’t mention a start date or who would contact me.
For anyone who works at Whole Foods or has interviewed there recently:
Is it normal for them to take longer than 48 hours to respond?
Does the hiring manager usually make the final decision?
Should I call Monday to follow up, or wait longer?
Thanks! I’m trying not to overthink it lol.

Hey everyone,
I’m an E-Commerce Shopper at Whole Foods. This week I’m only scheduled for 8 hours total (two 4-hour shifts). I’m thinking about putting one of my shifts up on Innerview for someone else to take (or calling out if no one picks it up).
This would leave me with only 4 worked hours for the week.
Will working only 4 hours for one week affect my employment status or automatically drop me down to seasonal? Is there any issue with doing this as long as the shift gets claimed or I follow standard call-out protocol?
Just want to make sure I don't trigger any attendance/policy flags. Appreciate any insight from fellow shoppers or TLs!

Been looking for them for like a month. Have they been discontinued?

I'm jealous of people who can work from home or have a relaxing job somewhere quiet. Or don't have to work. This job is exhausting and I'm not sure how my e-commerce skills can transfer outside of retail. Maybe I lack confidence or something. It's actually a good job but not enough to live off of alone. Feel like a failure in all ways lately lol Headspace doesn't help either.

Opening chefs case myself no longer stresses me out. I’ll fill the case to the best of my abilities, but there may be a few holes, or things that don’t get more food added to it. I’ll do my production list, which usually has a mix of pre slice and fresh pack items and all require me to make 20+ of them, but at least half of my list won’t get done. I’ll do amazon orders, but occasionally you won’t find your order in the pick up area because I haven’t been able to get to it yet. I’ll restock charcuterie, but just like with chefs case, there will be holes.

Does anyone know what The Co pay for the Amazon insurance is gonna be?I was just kicked off my insurance, and I have to get this.And I wanna make sure i'm not spending an arm and a leg
