Before this manager had come to our store, I had been thinking about moving up in my department. I have gotten some training, but at the time we didn't have enough people in our dept, so I had to learn the basics over the course of two months. Now this new manager comes in and takes a liking to me (I always try...

So the store has recently obtained 8 U-Scan robots divided into two clusters. We now have two podiums side by side and two iPads.The problem is that there is only ever one attendant scheduled at a given time. On top of having to watch 8 different machines (that are consistently full.) with two iPads str...

A coworker of mine told me that grocery crews at several nearby stores, maybe the whole district, got their hours cut this week. We certainly did - we are now way under hours. And we could barely get trucks done before even with everyone working 40 hrs a week. Just wondering if anyone else has had this goi...

So every week, as you may know, Kroger updates each worker's schedule for the next week. This is usually done on Saturday and I got my schedule for the next week yesterday. It showed all the days I was working and when I was of,f like it usually did. But today it doesn't show that I'm working any days at all...

Be me, a naive combo clerk, so i was told by a FES that cultural council invited me to some bs diversity summit. At first i was trying to weasel my way out of it but then i was promised a free meal and 8 hours pay. Okay it can't be that bad i told myself. When i arrived it was just a circlejerk ofKrogrr propaganda...

I thought I would just inform you guys that, at least in the Columbus Division, we will be updating to Esched 2.0. The portion of greatpeople.me that houses esched will be unavailable until sometime on Monday. As far as what changed in this version... There is a new look that will be put in place. Also sc...

I've way more than read enough on here to know what I think of this so-called union...........part-to-NO-TIME-hours, fking minimum wage, open availability demands, virtually no protection from management abuse, memebership dues gouging, etc., etc. I'll say it again: I am FOR UNIONS. But I will...

So I requested this coming Wednesday off and it was approved. This morning I find out that I'm scheduled to work on this day, plus outside of my long standing (since 2010) availability time frame (8-5). I have same situation coming up on the following Wednesday and Thurs. Preapproved, and I want to sc...

So today marks me one year anniversary at Kroger. And of course the best way to celebrate is after getting off a nine hour shift having a regular customer stop you and after a five minute conversation ask if I like older men and would consider some help paying for school in exchange for taking up a "...

I've been scheduled a 10 hour shift this week and I'm wondering what, if anything, I should do about it. I already had to reduce my availability and call my manager to get less hours so I can go to college, so I don't want to come off as whiny to my manager, but I feel as if I'm being exploited by being expected...

the city I live and work in is considering raising the minimum wage to anyone who's encountered this: is it probable that my pay rate won't be affected since I already make above the prospective minimum?

I had heard from one ACSM at a store other than the one I work at that Que-Vision is "gone" and I asked the ACSM at the store I'm at and was told that it's true and that 1 + 1 and dips are no longer part of front end metrics. It's due to stores being so understaffed, apparently, that it's no longer pra...

So, I am in a bit of an emergency situation and need to move from the town I work in ASAP. I want to put in my two weeks still, but I have a week of vacation time coming. If I put it in a week before my scheduled vacation, will I still get that pay or do I forfeit it? Would it be best for me to do my two weeks after? Doab...

So I work for King Soopers, a Kroger subsidiary in Colorado, and our contract with the union is almost up so the company has really been stretching us thin. I'm technically just a checker/cashier but my store has me doing CC work, and maintenance around the store due to how few workers we actually have...
