It's not "Whole Foods" it's Amazon. Whole Foods died when Amazon bought them.
source: I'm from Austin and know several people that work there from employees to management. They killed everything that was whole foods.
Pretty sure Whole Foods had shitty conservative executives back then too didn’t they?
I'm pretty sure it was one of the best places to work in the retail/grocery industry because of their profit sharing.
They also fought against tighter regulation and labeling of organic and GMO products.
And then Amazon bought them and as I'm certain it was fucking awful to work there.
edit: seems familiar.. package deliveries, pickers, warehouse workers, pee bottles
That's because they largely bought out most of the places that were better to work at.
Profit sharing ended in 2019. It's all been big ol Amazon now
You can't escape those fucks living in Texas. They're everywhere.
in austin; those fucks call themselves liberal.
It was shitty and ruled by a worker abusing chud before Lord Bezos bought it, too.
It's been like that about Whole Foods since the 80s. John Mackey is a libertarian fuckhead and it's been a series of people realizing it ever since.
They hired union busters all the time.
In the 10's he tried to sell his book "conscious capitalism" on the shelves. Surprise surprise, no one bought it.
I think I've heard about this.
