I wanted to make one final update post now that I received my severance details.

For context, I was one of the associates working both **Whole Foods Market** and **Amazon/CXO**, and due to the dual employment change, I had to choose which employer I wanted to stay with.

I decided to **end my employment with Whole Foods Market and stay with Amazon/CXO**. My WFM employment officially ends on **6/29/2026**.

Today, I received my severance agreement/details. Based on the documents, the severance package is generally calculated as **two weeks of pay for every year of service**, with a minimum of two weeks and a maximum of 26 weeks. 

In my case, as a flex part-time shopper with about **3 years of tenure**, my severance amount came out to around **$2,000!** 💰

The agreement also mentions that payment is made as a lump sum after signing/returning the agreement, usually in the first payroll cycle occurring at least 14 days after returning it.

I’m attaching screenshots of what the FAQ/severance documents look like!

Honestly, this ended up working out really well for me. I’m staying with Amazon/CXO because it aligns better with my long-term goals, school schedule, pay, and growth opportunities. I’m also moving toward an **L3 Site Lead** position at Amazon, so this feels like the right move for where I’m headed.

Still, it definitely feels like the end of an era. I’m grateful for my time at Whole Foods, the people I worked with, and everything I learned there. I’ll definitely miss the **20% discount** the most lol but I’ll still be shopping at Whole Foods and floating around the sub occasionally 😋

Good luck to everyone else going through this decision. Definitely read your documents carefully, ask questions if you need clarification, and make the choice that works best for your situation.
