I don't really want to get into the details as to why I didn't take my second vacation last year, but some of my co-workers told me if I didn't take it, I'd just lose it and Kroger wouldn't pay me for it. While I wasn't thrilled about that, I had accepted that to be the case. Well, recently my vacation time res...

We've all experienced something in our time at kroger where they brought in some *new and exciting* thing or new way of doing something only to have it fade away mere months after its implementation. Often these things are just walmart retreads. "hey it didn't work for them, let's take it and improv...

Saw a post touting Walmart's new starting wage. First off why would the number one grocery chain, need to wait for massive tax cuts to pay their employees a half way decent wage? They make billions. Then to brag about it like it's an achievement? $11 an hour is not that much considering grocery chains we...

Why do customers still come in to shop during power outages? We had one a few days ago and people were still streaming in despite the fact that we hadn't had power for 4 hours and we told them so. In the deli department they had a tarp over the pre-sliced meats to keep the cold in and the employees were told no...

Our back room is a disaster. There is stuff piled everywhere. However, the shelves on the salesfloor are empty because the stock crew can't get the product out. So they're going to close the store from midnight one night to 7 AM the following day for a total of 31 hours in an effort to put things right...

So I make 8 an hour right now, and am currently listed according to Express HR for an 8.85 pay increase in june, however my next job step is 0500, which if i remember correctly is top out. My union contract however, states for any Utility Clerks employed after 3 years, 9.05 and we are topped then. But my con...

Because of the new tax cut package finally passed by Congress and approved by President Trump, the economy is expected to be BOOMING this coming year, and many companies are already raising wages and giving out bonuses to some (or all) of their employees. Walmart announced they are raising their s...

The associate manager at my store swears that associates with a year or more will be getting 3 weeks of vacation time. Does this have any merit or is he mistaken?

Some people misinterpret Seniority. Seniority only has to do with hours, vacations, days requested off, etc. Others think seniority means you don't have to listen to the Lead or Managers because you've worked their longer than them. This isn't true and causes conflict. They need to call it someth...

People in our store are coming to work sick due to the 3 day rule that says you have to get a doctor's note to return to work if you are out 3 days or more. My manager is also sick too and went home early tonight. Why does Kroger do this? Many employees don't have the money for a doctor like me!!!

Clicklist associates, is your Clicklist dept understaffed? I work at a Kroger store and while our Clicklist has quite a few selectors we still have a hard time catching up on busy days and even not so busy days depending on how many selectors are scheduled that day. Selectors work past their shifts al...

So, I printed off the pass the baton last night. We had 2365 peices which it said would take 54.25 hours to stock. Scheduled hours was 30. Now the problem in our store is that our store manager insists that we not leave until trucks are done every night. I finished my shift last night with 57 hours. Nee...

Just out of curiosity, how many people do other stores have on their overnight stock crews.

About 8 or so years ago, I was a cashier for two years in a completely different grocery chain that is not affiliated with Kroger. Could I have gotten experience pay for that or no?

Some Kroger employees need to work on race relations in the workplace. It hurt like hell to quit my job but my first several weeks in I was being accused of things I didn't do and didn't get an apology from those who accused me. Training was also lacking from my department supervisor. Not saying people...

It's getting annoying. We used to have a decent scheduler, then they gave it to someone else who doesn't know what they're doing and makes careless mistakes. It's not like we're understaffed either. Some days I can only work until 3 and I end up getting scheduled til 5, and they already have 4 other emp...

So, I have been with Kroger nearly 3 years, two stores, and I have shopped probably 15 different stores in different districts. I have asked locally (Mid-Atlantic division) if anyone can tell me about how to get cultural councils started, but no one has resources. CSMs, ASPs, and the one manager that...
