How come Kroger hires more people when they don't have the hours to give the employees they have? My hours went from 21 -16 hours a week and I heard they're thinking of hiring someone else in the my department. How can they do that? 24 hours -32 is considered part-time and I don't even get that.

I was checking my paystub and noticed that there was a new category under "Other Deduction" called "ACH SVGS 1." Usually I just have my union dues. I would have made about $130-140$ this past week but when I checked my bank account only $75 went in. When I went back to check my paystub, I realized whatever...

Hey guys, Attached is my resignation letter from back in October. I'll tell you this: NEVER be afraid to bail on them, no 2 week notice, if they treat you like garbage. You have more leverage than you think. I left without a notice, without a warning. Guess what? The company hired me right back and I'm cur...

I have had customers asking me to sell the individual bottles and or cans of beer that you use to make your own 6 pack of beer, and when I tell them that I cannot do that, they complain. Either they tell me there are too many rules regarding that or they want to speak to a manager because they do not want to pay t...

I haven't had a chance to talk to anybody about this yet. I was told today that part-timers who average 25 hours/week are eligible for insirance. This sounds the same as before, but they acted as if its new. Did they shorten the waiting period or something?

Just like my subject line suggest does anybody know how to do that accurately? I've heard different things again from people at my store and I just want to verify which is correct. 1st way-You count 7 days from the date something goes out and it's that date 2nd way- Count 7 days but you subtract one, cause...

Guys, it's been a long time since I've posted here. Being back at Kroger as, once again, a freight boss, I figured I'd stop by again and chat with you all. I went back. I needed employment, I needed good money, and I took a job as a freight crew lead. I know what you're all thinking, and I am honestly surprise...

Why is there a sense of urgency for the front end cashiers when scanning customers groceries? Why does Kroger expect and want this to happen?

Hello, I've been working in the frozen department of my store for about 5 months now. The other day I had a "meeting" with one of my managers saying that I'm too slow. I work hard, dont really talk to anyone, focus on my work. Not really sure what I'm doing wrong, but if I dont improve, they're gonna put me on...

I work at Fred Meyer (my first job). Who do I give my two weeks notice to?? My department manager? HR? Also, do I just need to tell him I'll be gone after a certain date or do I need to write a letter? Thanks
