compensation, including bonuses,
for any team member at 19 times
the average pay of all team

”At Whole Foods, everyone is hired
into a particular team on a
probationary basis for 30 to 90
days, at the end of which a two-
thirds positive vote by the entire
team is required before a new
hire is granted full team member
status”

worked for the company
for several years enjoys
the same benefits
enjoyed by the two co-
CEOs of the company. It’s
very powerful to be able
to tell people about this
practice.”

you feel, respectively, that you can
get a higher return than the 38
percent you got last year, it’s a
free country. You can sell your
shares of Starbucks and buy shares
in another company.”
-Howard Shultz, CEO Starbucks
