Hi. I worked for Kroger for 36 years. I started in June 1972 and retired in May 2008. Overall my years at Kroger were OK. I was lucky enough to retire before they changed the retirement. I really feel for those friends of mine who were within a couple of years of retireing when it all changed. I worked in the...

I am a former Kroger employee that wishes to let others know my case. I worked for the company for over five years And had been harassed, called a liar, treated unfairly , and most recently written up for being a tiny bit late while others were over two hours late including a manager. I finally had enough...

Walmart has a choir. And apparently they paid for all the employees in the choir to go out to a hotel to record a CD, and paid for their meals. Who would want this? And more importantly when is Kroger getting one?

I do not want to have to go into my store until I'm s...

As I was sitting there listening to her spew sh*t from her mouth to the half dozen employee...

Hi I got kicked out of the service desk because I did no fill out our money order log ( did not know we had one) when my customer got 3000 dollars in money orders, and because I lost us 150 dollars on a lottery ticket I did not cancel in time. Do you think if I talk to my store manager and ask for forgiveness, and a...

Long story short, I was fired in 2008 after 4 weeks right before my probation period was going to end. I was called to the managers office where he said that I was too slow checking out, and said it "wasn't a good fit, and honestly you easily could have slipped through the cracks and made it off probat...

2 assistant managers love to make a deal about store sweeps being 28 and 29 minutes. We at our store now have to log the sweeps and bathroom checks on the clock. So I had a few that was maybe 2 minutes under. It was just an honest mistake. They are sussposed to be 30 minutes. One was like 28 and one was 29. It was...

Just got hired last week. I have yet to have training or any kind of orientation. I'm a male. I imagine they provide the uniform top, (not sure what color) and just wear khakis and comfortable shoes?? Pretty much what colors can and can't you wear? All company's have certain abbreviations that they use...

1. I have training tomorrow and was wondering if the badge or employee number is what we use to sign in for shifts? 2. How and when do we sign up for the union? 3. I'm specifically a produce clerk and was wondering what the job is like from other produce clerks? (ie. hours, working environment etc.)

Is this legal? Whenever anyone asks to see the new union contract, we're told to contact our union representative. The union refuses to let us see the contract.

I have recently started working as a clerk for my local Kroger. I have noticed that the pallets we receive from the distribution center in Atlanta are incredibly off balance. I am finding that people are loading these 1500+ pound pallets with fragile and light weight things on the BOTTOM and then VERY...

So, my last day off this week was last Sunday. Looked at the new schedule today and I work Sunday through Wednesday which means I'd be working 9 days straight. I was also scheduled 41 hours with just Wednesday off. How can they schedule someone 41 hours in a week? I also work at a store in Kentucky.

Just wondering if that's allowed? I'm pretty sick but I think the manager is going to give me a hard time. I don't call off a lot, but I did call off once a little under 2 months ago. I was just wondering if they could say no, you have to come in?
