Hi everybody. I'm just going to jump right into it. I am a Back-up Lead in my store's Grocery department (night shift stocker)and upon coming back from vacation I noticed on HR Express that not only my position has been changed to Grocery Clerk, but also my pay has been reduced to the default amount I wa...

Can anyone tell me if they know of someone who has successfully acquired a full-time position in the front end without having open availability. I currently work between 3640 hours a week as a front and supervisor and there is a full-time position being offered this week and I would like to apply but I...

I am a newly promoted produce backup and I am going to do this training at some point, idk when exactly. I'm hoping to get a head position in my district. I was also wondering if being willing to travel out of tow...

The management at store 638 in Jefferson Georgia is a joke. All they do is walk around like they are busy when the breaks get behind for the front end employees. I have seen an employee come in at 9 am and when it was 4 PM she still had not received her break. The excuse of well we are behind in our breaks is a jok...

We got a new manager in our deli and since she's been here, we've run out of things a lot sooner than we should. For example, we ran out of Kowalski cole slaw (we sell oodles of that on a daily basis) and the truck wasn't due for another few days. We had a customer come in and complain because we ran out of it. ...

I filed a grievance for not being payed correctly when i got promoted to a lead a month ago and haven't heard anything. I called a couple times to follow up and the rep said he's working on it and will let me know. Does anyone know how long it takes for them to resolve issues? Jesus

I worked at the Kroger in my area last summer as a bagger, and it seemed that most or all of the grocery clerks were men. I want to get into another department this summer, and I'm eying an overnight grocery clerk position. Would they be less likely to hire me in as a grocery clerk if I'm a girl?

Just wondering. I was hired as a cashier but I'm usually never actually a cashier, I work drug gm a lot and sometimes I help the scan coordinator. When I was hired they said I was guaranteed 16 hours at front end, so if I had 2 full shifts with drug gm and one half shift with the scan coordinator shouldn't I ge...

I was having a chat with a co-worker of mine and I said that I don't understand why they can't get any bodies in the deli since we're short handed. The co-worker said that he spoke to one of the store managers and he said simply put: the costs. According to this store manager, it costs ~$1,000 per new hire...

Tomorrow will mark my 16th year with Kroger. I can't believe it has been that long. I never imagined staying for a career. Only 26 more years until I have finished my sentence and can be paroled/retire.

Can you leave 15 minutes early instead?

If you have been following my drama of "As The Home Depot Turns", you know that I called out on Tuesday for my scheduled shift on Wednesday. My Front End Manager didn't like it, didn't like me telling her that it was because of my going to my other job which paid more. She said she was going to tak...

So just got my background check packet in the mail and the grade had a flag not clear for hire, so does that mean I failed? Or do I still have a chance. I've heard of people getting a flag saying do not hire so why I'm wondering if I had a chance?

I went into my local Krogers the other day to buy some chips for a party. They redid the whole store layout and I couldn't find anything! I couldn't find any employees to help me either! So I had to go to the meat department to get help. But the butcher was helping someone with steaks, so I had to WAIT FOR 3 M...

Time and time again on this forum people ask for advice and it's difficult to help without knowing your contract. If you join the union, get a copy of the contract. Learn the contract. If you have questions ask your store steward. You cannot expect Kroger to abide by the contract, it's not convenie...

I was recently interviewed and offered a job at a local Kroger, and I'm currently waiting to hear back about my drug test. They (the recruiter) said that I would get an e-mail from Verification Inc.(?) about it, but I'm not sure if my sample needs to arrive at the facility first, or if the email comes firs...
