At the start of the year, ESS listed that I had four personal holidays to use, and I successfully used one a few months back. When I did, the site updated to say that I used one, and had three left to use, which I was planning on using next month. But I checked ESS today, and it says I've got personal days left...

I recently was offered a job to work at a local Kroger as a courtesy clerk. I was told I would be contacted once they ran my background so they could go ahead and start me with training and get me on the schedule. It's been two weeks and I haven't heard anything. Should it be taking this long??? I even called t...

so here lately I've been having 3 to 4 pallets of ice in the freezer at one time because the company keeps Distributing it. This past time I barely put a dent in the one I had ordered a few weeks ago and then last week they sent another pallet of the same size bag. It already takes me about a month to get rid of on...

Well the deli/bakery dept. I'm in is down to only 8 people between the two with the people we had quit this week. Yet with this the department managers were forced to cut 20 hours off of next weeks schedule. Seriously WTF are they smoking? And to beat all one of the guys still there comes in hours late al...

I thought that it was rude of the new guy to do that and I didn't say nothing, and now I caught his cold sickness, I'm taking EmergenC. He was two hours late and was supposed to come in at 10'oclock and help me unload the grocery truck for night crew, so that is what he was doing when he sneezed on me, and I was pi...

Anybody have tips on how to throw faster? I usually do the nonfood side of grocery (pet, laundry, paper, baby). We have to go straight off the pallet, no spotting. We usually spot some stuff , but right off the.pallet for the most part. I use the big boxes of paper to hold my trash. Anybody have any words...

I can't deal with being a cashier anymore. Don't really want to move up either, since it's gonna be more BS to put up with and it's not really worth minimum wage. Hated pushing in carts all day and cleaning restrooms, but now it doesn't seem all that bad after I've experienced what it feels like to literal...

Today (November 15th), the store radio only played Christmas music. Usually we have a few sprinkled in at this time of year but this was the first time we heard Christmas music and it was all day. Also our radio is really annoying because it's 90% horrible country

I'm sure many of us will experience a lot of things that make us want to beat our heads against the wall this holiday season. Let this be a place to vent such frustrations! I'll start. This is the first week of the holiday sales here. Mega event with great sales almost everywhere. I run frozen and the...

Does anyone else have a department head who basically does nothing, then tries to act as if they're the only hard working one in the department? And I got bitched at today by her for texting her on her day off. It was one little text, as much as she plays with her phone while she's at work I didn't think it wou...

Availability: Is Seven-Day/Night Wide Open the Only Option? One store is kind of making it seem that way by leaving submitted availability revisions pending indefinitely (ten days) or sometimes by declining them the day of schedule-writing . . . which kicks the can down the road and leaves the work...

I work in the meat department, and all of our hours got slightly reduced this week, the week before thanksgiving. How does this make sense? :/ It wasn't cut by much, but everyone lost about an hour on average.

How long do you have to be with the company to get paid for the holidays?

nightperson · nightperson

While talking to one of the older employees that definitely knows more of the "ins and outs" of the store. He pointed out while i was on break that one of the workers was going to be moved to the front next week. This person worked in two/three different dept even the one i was moved back into. Se...

I don't think that Kroger should be open on Thanksgiving. Making employees work is taking them away from family. It should be a law that ALL stores, including Kroger, close on major holidays. It's just not fair. If they don't close all day then they should close at 5pm or even before to let the employees...

Hello. I was very fortunate to retire in 2008 with 36 years and 55 y/o. I took the level income pension. I am now 61 and will turn 62 in May of 2015. I now work full time driving a transit bus. The question I have is by working full time I will make more than is allowed under IRS rules. That will trigger a large in...
