last election everytime I got a newsletter it was "obama." You couldn't escape it. This election I hadn't seen one piece of information telling me who I should vote for until today: the democratic candidate, go figure. No thanks, fam.

I was interviewed yesterday, and they made take a drug test and fill out typical paperwork. I have a lot of questions. 1. What do we wear for orientation? 2. I live in a "right to work" state, and I understand that Kroger has a union sort a thing. I don't want to join due to personal reasons. 3. Exactly how l...

when we were introduced to order revolution, they told us we should be able to run all backstock every morning (we do day trucks) then leave those carts on the floor to set the new backstock on. This practice has never worked. Not in the beginning before hours were chopped, never. It's a silly concep...

I'm tired of only getting 25 to 30 hours. I want full time I've been working at Kroger for over a year and a half. I'm in hour trouble right now because I've been asking for more hours! Can I apply and work at another Kroger across town or no? That way maybe I could get 40 hours a week or more! I only make 7.65 an h...

Are union dues still deducted even If I am not scheduled to work the whole week?

I've noticed in the last several months since I left Kroger that the store conditions are terrible. And the shelves have tons of holes and I rarely see the same employees two visits on a row. Is this the case everywhere now!?

What is going on with Kroger Health Insurance? I've been an hourly employee for 4 years and well over 40 hours a week (Status 1) and now they tell me I CANNOT put my wife on my health insurance. HR told me that they no longer will carry a spouse on health insurance unless they are TRANSGENDERED! HR also s...

I've been working here 3 months and as a cashier I constantly bend to get drinks from baskets. I'm 18 but my back hurts like hell once I leave work. If I need medical attention at some point will they cover it if I'm just 18.

Four months ago we got a new store manager who came in like a ball of fire. My dept. manager stepped down and transferred because of it. He told me I needed to find a transfer (which I did but the new SM won't approve it), I talked to a merchandising rep who said yeah get used to it you're not going to li...

In my handbook, if it says an employee fears that they will be assaulted or immediate threat of assault to call 911, and then notify loss prevention, and thats all the employee handbook says, but this handbook is older. what do other handbooks say? , is there anywhere online where a kroger handbook can...

I have been a conditioner at Kroger for a couple of years now. This was supposed to be a temporary second job for various reasons and I won't be doing this much longer, but the parade of stupidity I have seen is worthy of a finely crafted novel. Kroger will hire any functioning retard that passes a drug tes...

I asked the union rep today if the union could make Kroger give us more help and she said no. I do not understand the union at times. My store is a marketplace and we have a skeletal crew to work that store. It is not working with not enough help. The union rep said that Kroger is telling the union that it is n...

Do they ever help your dept with the monotonous tasks or are they off doing their own thing? Do the head/backup work side by side every day or do they understand that sometimes you have to do what needs to be done to make the store look good? Does it take both to do the schedule? At our store it does. 2 peo...

all this bare bones and "work more" stuff got me wondering what it would cost the company to pay out workers comp claims on employee(s) vs just hiring people and giving more hours. Add 40 hours to a dept's schedule can't cost more than someone working too hard and getting hurt (time off/replacing inju...

Everyone just shows up whenever (between 11pm and 2am) and just works the truck until their assigned aisles are done. Doesn't matter if you're schedule 7hrs, 4hrs, or 8hrs, if it takes you 10 hrs you stay 10 hrs.

I don't know what right they THINK they have to screw up my set availability but they did it. They keep switching things around. I have my availability set for a reason, that's beneficial to me. I keep switching it back over and over, they keep re-doing it over and over. I try talking to them and they say th...
