I am hearing rumors that we either will get raises in January or March and they could possibly be retroactive. Not sure of the amount but I keep hearing $9.00-hope it is true. If we don't get something substantial in the new contract, we are SO close to a strike it isn't even funny!!

Sometimes my other comes to visit me while I am working. Store manager knows my S.O. is connected to me and "shoos" them away (hand motions included), even if they were there no longer then a minute. My S.O. doesn't normally stay longer then 3 minutes or so to say hello and good bye and is irritated/ embar...

Hello! I was wondering if it's possible to transfer to a store that Kroger is the parent company of (Quality Food Center). I'm graduating from school soon and want to move to the Northwest and was wondering if they would accept my transfer. Thank you.

This is my first year so I have no clue. The day before Thanksgiving and the day before Christmas Eve were terrible, we had 11 11 11 on Que Vision for about 2 hours straight and then 9 to 10 the rest of the day. So is Christmas Eve less, just as bad, or pure hell?

Do we really need to lay off people or are we covering the overspend in buying other Grocery Store Chains? Notice that none of Kroger Senior Management will be part of the "voluntary retirements" Nice touch by the way to let the associates know right before Christmas - Absolutely Heartless

Basically as stated above. Been here 8 years and have been asked by the managers at my store multiple times if I want in. I'm just nervous about how hard the background check is. It happened after I had been with the company for a long time,so I haven't said anything, but would obviously have to disclose i...

So, I had the 26th requested off about a month ago. When I looked at the schedule for this week, I noticed that the manager had scheduled me to work that day, and gave someone else the 26th as a regular day off. Now that coworker is bragging to everyone who'll listen that they have a 4 day weekend, and didn't...

We're always failing this (well... not only this, lol) at my store when it comes to EcoLab inspections. Management (naturally) only cares about this when EcoLab is threatening a visit and when that happens, people (like me...) get randomly pulled to clean underneath the bottom shelves of the aisle...

Can you get fired for leaving a shift early? all my work ha been done and the next person is already there to take over. I work in the cheese shop at kroger but I just feel like it's better to go ahead and leave rather than wasting money just standing there. But can I get fired for doing this or do they have to gi...

I've done my cashier training and had 30 mins live on the tills yesterday in training. Today I'm on the floor on my store and wondered if there's any advice or tips I should learn? Also do I ask my manager for the 3 letter/password combo so I can access a register?

Kroger will limit you on how you invest with kroger stock. You will only be able to purchase 20% kroger stock in your 401 plan, even though your right as an participate is to choose your way you want to invest, in which again is being denied also, merrill lynch is going to stop real time trading. They will g...

I put in my 2 week notice, but was told I can't leave. My last day would have been December 26th. It may have been denied due to the holidays? Or its also possible because I work in deli, and 4 other people in the department also put in their 2 week around the same time? Leaving the department with the manage...

This is probably a really stupid question... but i honestly don't know how these things work. How do you set up a 401k account? Is there a certain amount of time you have to work for Kroger before you can have one? Is there a retirement benefit already growing? I have a loooooooooooooong time before ret...

I read that it's on the southwest web site, but cannot find it for the life of me. I'm telling you, I've been the new seafood lead at my store for one month now but they refuse to train me.
