1. If you worked at WFM, how would you vote when the company's current health-care plan came up for an employee vote? Explain your reasoning.

2. To underscore WFM's relatively high prices, some skeptics point out that, despite discounts of 15 percent or more, many of the firm's employees can't afford to shop where they work. If you were a team member at WFM, how would this fact affect your motivation?

3. John Mackey now takes $1 a year in pay. In the last year in which he received a regular paycheck as CEO, his pay package totaled $436,000-about 14 times the average WFM worker's salary of $32,000 and relatively low for the industry. In the same year, however, he exercised nearly $2 million in stock options, bringing his total earnings to about $2.5 million. The company acknowledges that Mackey also holds more money invested stock options but prefers to publicize its worker-friendly pay cap. If you were a team member at WFM, would this fact affect your motivation? How about your attitude toward your job?
