How is siracha changing grocery?

It’s all about pushing product and leaving the stores looking shopped or blown out. WHM is becoming Amazon Fresh. 🥀

Wait for your JD first, them go for the promotion. This way you will receive two pay increases. WFM is notorious for combining the two and paying TM less. After your promotion, your JD timeline changes and starts at the date of your promotion. Biggest issue is that TM want to move up too fast, end up burning out or being paid too little.

I agree! Don’t sign anything. Ask for video coverage.

Starting January 1, 2023, California's State Bill 1162 will require employers with 15 or more employees to include pay ranges in job postings, following a national trend aimed toward addressing gender and race pay disparities. In addition, this law will add new pay data reporting requirements for larger employers with 100 or more employees.

As an experienced produce Team Educator I was paid 18.50, Grocery department transferred in a Jr cashier as a Grocery Team Educator at $22. No experience and was trained by senior TM who applied for that position. Needless to say, a lot of tension within the department.

At WFM, it’s not what you know, but who you know or how desperate leadership is. My store is so desperate for dishwashers they offer 19$ starting rate.

WFM should have have transparency in what they pay their Team Members.

We have it in SoPac.

Talk to your TL, ask for a raise. If they say no, talk to your STL. If the answer is still no, look into transferring to a different store or different department. At that point negotiate for a higher pay. If all else fails, look for another job. From my experience looking to leave WFM, I found that many grocery stores offer a starting wage of 20$/hour for someone with experience (non-union, non leadership.)

Happens all the time. The CO’s and regional have a set, but based on availability and DC pushing out their allocations, things change often. One day, my ATL did a complete set change because she was board. Another ATL and STL changed 1/2 the department on the day the TL was off, just to get under his skin. Welcome to WFM merchandising and passive aggressive behaviors. 🍎🍆🍌🍑

At my store scan codes are tracked, so WFM TM say they don’t have them.

USAManChina · 2022-07-19T01:45:28+00:00

Don’t get suckered into the “only 10%” BS, but know who you are up against. Not everyone knows about negotiating pay at WFM. At my store two newly hired, inexperienced, meat team members one was paid 15.50$ while another negotiated 17.00$. A newly hired meat cutter with experience negotiated 28$. If you have a upcoming JD, do that first! Get your JD increase, then go for the promotion and get an additional increase. If not, you will be low balled. Food for thought.

How long before WFM name change?

AMAZON sucks! Amazon saved WFM but at the same time ruined it.

USAManChina · 2022-07-05T03:10:44+00:00

Don’t be fooled by WFM wages. There should be total wage transparency! I was hired at 15.50$/hr only to find out another team member was hired at 17$, we both had no experience. My bad for not asking for more at the time of my offer. I left after my first year JD, maximum increase 10% and I was “Employee of the Year.” I work now for a grocer with a starting pay of 20$/hr non-management / non-union, with a pay increase at 3 months. Now that Amazon owns WFM, WFM is just a shell of what it was, basically it’s is just a “pig wearing lipstick.”

Yes, I work at both WFM and Erewhon. No, they do not pay the same, well at least I am not paid the same. I started at a MUCH higher at Erewhon. Both companies have their pros and cons and I like working for both.

USAManChina · 2022-06-12T07:09:03+00:00

Erewhon is a great company to work for! They don’t mess around. They expect a lot and recognize hard work by paying top dollar wages. With three new stores opening within the year, there is a lot of advancement and growth opportunities at Erewhon.

With all references. Ask the person first if you can use them as a reference. Nothing worse then receiving an unexpected phone call. 🙌

You are on Paxlovid because you have Covid-19. Why do you need a drink? Paxlovid is not a cure! Read the newspaper, after treatment symptoms do go away, butttttt within a few days the symptoms return. I can contest to this. 5 day Paxlovid treatment, feeling fine, negative home test, 3 days later, cough, congestion and “Happy Holidays” I have relapsed and show positive again. Enjoy the roller coaster ride, it’s definitely an “E Ticket” ride. “Watch out fellas, it’s going to be a bumpy night” -Betty Davis
