I just recently left a store because the manager was unbelievably difficult to work with, it seemed like everyday there was some ridiculous problem he had with me. Either I was standing in the "wrong spot" or me fanning my self made me unapproachable. He's also since I left, told a girl who sprained her...

There has been a recent job posting on KnowMe for a ClickList Supervisor in my area. The listing details all work responsibilities (which are quite a lot), and also a Pay Level of 60. I was thinking of attempting to apply for this position, as I am more than qualified, but I have some questions about the r...

In grocery, we're obviously not running backstock "every day before you run the truck" as they told us when they rolled out the orderrevolution. Never has that actually happened. Trucks get bigger occasionally and there are fewer workers so we have to steal from other tasks to get the trucks ran (c...

(being rude without straight out tellin' it how it is). Not exactly being rude, but I remember early on in my "career" I had a nametag made that had a ebonics type name on it (nothing offensive).

I started working at Kroger a couple of months ago and I was originally hired to work in the deli. However, when I was doing my new hire paperwork, the HR manager told me she wanted me to be a courtesy clerk instead and then do cashier training, which I did. I've always been on the front end and never worked a...

I'm no longer seeing a section under the Personal Profile link on ExpressHR for vacation time, personal days, sick days (not that I get those, lol) etc... Is it gone for everyone else, too? It's not that big of a deal, because I know what I have left for the remainder of the year, but when it all resets in th...

I was trying to figure out how long you have to work to get an hour lunch. I've had to work several seven-eight hour shifts. I was thinking it's eight full hours of work, not counting lunch to get an hour.

I put in for my vacation a month ago and it got approved. Well now I find out I was bumped by a co- worker with more seniority. I already paid for my reservations and plane tickets. I WILL be going on this vacation, bumping or not. Now in case they TRY to terminate me, do I need my union just in case?

Ok here is the deal... Back when I was only 3 months pregnant (beginning of 2nd trimester) I was told by my dept head that he talked to the store manager, without me present, and he told him to let me go out his dept.
