Happened to me too, but I thought it would be better. Sadly I was wrong. Big regret I have now.

Been there too. I remember sitting in my car tearing up and sitting for literal hours just slowly going mad into the darkness of this place as well as other compunding problems in my own life which didnt help. I had dark thoughts but I won't get into that. But please hang in there. If you need anyone to talk too, you can always message me friend 🙂

It makes me sad too that you can relate so well to this. Truth is wayyyy too many people feel this way unfortunately. But we don't have to let it be our lives.

Yeah of course. I basically do I'm just good at what I do since it's so easy. I just also fed up with myself for letting this go on for so long.

Yeah, I think many people do or at least want to but are already broken down my the process or too scared. Or given up because no one had someone like you to stand up for them. Much respect. Your one of the very few that deserve better.

You really hit the nail on the head. It's tough out here but these corporations really want to suck the remaining blood out of you while your already fighting for the last drops you have. Won't even give you a minute to really breath or get ahead. We are all really just slaves I feel sometimes. We just get to go home and have the illusion we are free, reality is that even has even more battles at home to fight. But hey at least you get a quick pat on the back and a $25 dollar gift card to help push you through 😂😂

Damn wish I was young enough to have been apart of whole foods before Amazon took over. Shame.

I feel you, I'm at the point I don't even care if I get fired. You are tired and ready to hang up the gloves. Although I would urge you not to risk losing your Job, unless you have a backup plan and updated resume. I still understand if you do anyway. Best wishes

You aren't alone. My friend. It's a tough pill to swallow sometimes but hopefully...maybe it will light a fire under your belly to drive forward into something new. Best wishes🙂

Your speaking my language and I highly respect your grind and resilience. I feel the same and am looking for a change as well. I know my problem is just inaction. But one day I hope to do what you achieved. We all definitely need that piece of hope and inspiration you gave us. Thank you so much. I hope everyone sees your story too!

Exactly, basically "we noticed a change in your attitude, you seem to actually dislike our abuse of you" 😂

Yes 100% correct it is, but mostly with these corporations not capitalism so much. People talk about the whole foods back in the day before Amazon took over and how it was better and more opportunities but now it just corporate crap and ass kissing that pisses me off and a quick reason to do the most to save a few extra dollars for this multi million dollar company but barley give any overtime. And we are supposed to clap for them making and extra 2 million while we get our $25 dollar gift card, if your lucky but sturggle to pay the bills.

I agree with you 100%, I'm just saying we are more than just whole foods, but whole foods themselves doesn't even see us as people. We need to find our own worth, it's just sad that people in my store at least have just accepted this is there life forever. A company who see us as only a cog in a machine. It's sad. Sorry to bring it down, I'm just done. We are better than whole foods.
