Given this company 2 decades of my life and for what? Nothing. Just a pay-check-to-paycheck job. No good deed goes unpunished with this company. Lack of promotional advancement. Schedule requests are now all of a sudden null-and-void and not even a suggestion. Moral is so low in this company it has h...

In March our hr rep requested me (singled out) to collect paper work or get dr notes for excusal on uniform requirements. Turns out she was singling me out. I spent a month headachingly tracking down/getting this paper work only to find out they didn't want any of it. Okay, so you're an a$$ to me about thi...

Why does kroger always wait until staffing is a catastrophe before doing anything? Many stores are short staffed and it's like a few years ago when no one wanted to work and staff needed days off. No help to schedule so departments went unmanned. One call out and no one works for the day. Kroger wake up t...

Don't lie to your coworkers and tell them dribble like this. A coworker several years ago told me this and when I contacted the union (at the time) they told me she was wrong.

Sorry kroger but I can't stand this company any more and I was willing to work another 15 yrs until retierment. No. With lack of communication between stores and within the store and unable to maintain a healthy employee moral I'm just done. Done, done, done. This has become more of a dead end go no where...

An employee just up and goes back to their home country and last minute enacted fmla. We still need to be respectful because of the situation. They quoted "No eta of return." Company policy gives 3 days for local and a week for non-local. How do we address managment to get us a filler until they return? Ou...

I've been with other companies that have used my time and it does not give employees livable paychecks. It is not the best system to write schedules. This system just reduced employee hours about 20%. Good lord one restriction severely penalizes your hours. Only request days off you truly need unles...

My store had a shake up and multiple people requiring on slipping through the cracks to survive are no longer with the company. We've lost about 6 people since we got a new manager about 8 months ago(Nov 23). Troubled employees are gone. Those requiring slipping through management turn over are gone....

I've lost track of how many store managers I've worked along side with at my current location. We've probably had 10+ in a six year time frame. Staff is less than pleased with where the store is going and quitting or transferring out. I'm enacting my back up plan. I've given this company almost two decad...

Should the baker be able to bake all the bread, make the donuts, bag all the bread, put away the frozen food order, and do the breakout for the next day all in 7 1/2 hours? ( that's an 8-hour shift minus two 15-minute breaks)

Our department already short on staff... Our lead was forced on fmla for 12 weeks. Highly doubtful he will return upon completion. So, until then we get to be short staffed running on coal fumes and have to wait for corporate to decide if he will be able to return to work or not. So for the next 2 friggen mon...

Is an employee required to stay at the store during an unpaid lunch break? (clocked out)

How much is too much? Coworker requests shift swap every week. Generally I don't mind if the individual is reliable as I've been on the short end of the stick a few times. I don't mind to a degree. I have a few coworkers that want to change shifts almost every week. If they are reliable and I am not doing anyt...
