GUY DID NOT LIKE WORKING AT WHOLE FOODS




A Whole Foods market employee has launched an hilarious attack on the firm with an extraordinary letter of resignation..In his parting shot picked up by the Gawker Website, the disgruntled Toronto bulk buyer, who has not been named, starts out noting point-by-point how the chain does not live up to its corporate ideas... He then turns his attention to his co-workers, about how he cannot stand to work with them anymore.. A Whole Foods spokesman said: "we disagree with this former team members statements, and we wish him best of luck in his future endeavors"

I'm only 24, so maybe i'm not the most qualified person to speak on such matters, but i'm 98% everyone can't stand at least one person at work. either way, talk about venting. what i wanna know is if this guy has been so anti-whole foods, why the fuck would he put up with it for "5 or 6 years". i mean we've all been where this guy is, dreaming of going out in a costanza-like blaze of glory. but this guy whiffs so bad on it, its hysterical. here are some of my favorite complaints:

"I was hired about five or six years ago. I appreciated and respected what the company said it's philosophies were at that time. However, it didnt take me long to realize what complete, and utter bullshit they are" 
So the company sold you on something and it didn't turn out exactly that way? Do me a favor and go to a Yext Orientation Day, listen to the employers tell you about the job, move from Florida to New York to take a job with them and tell me if you the work justifies how company presented itself. Its what business do bro, how else are they gonna attract employees?


Oh, you throw out enough food to feed a lot of hungry university students. (Caring about our communities and our environment)
are you serious right now? you're mad at them wasting food not so they can give it to, you know, starving families or homeless..but to "university students"?? never having food is apart of being college. its as normal as going to class. why do you think ramen noodles are so popular in college? they're fucking 70 cents a cup. get a grip


Oh, the food here is really quite awful on average? Almost everything that prepared foods makes is terrible. The pizza used to be pretty good but the slices have shrunk, the toppings are sparser and it's usually extremely overcooked. The sandwiches are the stuff of nightmares. (It's amazing what advertising can make people think. It can even trick their senses.) (We sell the highest quality natural and organic products available)
Listen to Gordon Ramsey over here, "the toppings are sparser and usually extremely undercooked". Dude, you woooork there. Think any of the management give a shit what you think if people are buying it? and i've had steak from the prepared food section there before and it was pretty good, so fuck off about whether you think the food is good enough


Oh, you buy poorly made, ugly t-shirts for your employees that will just be thrown in the trash and pretend they're gifts when they're really just advertising tools? (Supporting team member happiness and excellence, Caring about our communities and our environment)
what the fuck is he talking about??

Oh, you purchase products from Israel (Or any distant country) if they're slightly cheaper than local alternatives? (Caring about our communities and our environment)
oh, buying the cheaper of two of the same product to sell? im no finance major but i'm pretty sure thats good business


There are quite a few more complaints, some serious gems about the computer system used, not agreeing with the universally accepted "customer is always right" saying, and his take on inflation. His letters to his 9 co-workers are equally as entertaining. Just classic raw emotion in each one. But as unintentionally hilarious as it is, its far from Costanza
