How long does an employee have to work before they can file a complaint for wrongful termination?

Anonymous

I was told that I had to contact HR to request a transfer from Indiana to Denver, but I can't find the number anywhere. Google has failed me. Who do I contact, and what do I say to them? (I've worked at Kroger for 6 months, gotten one raise.)

We bake a lot of bread. Usually I either bake or bag. For some reason, I seem to be the only one who will put bread out when it needs to go out. Everybody else just throws it on the channel cart and maybe it will get worked when it's all bagged. One woman even gets upset if the deli manager tells her to fill...

Ok, the majority of the cashiers at my store are good people to work with. But there are some that think that they're the sh** and they'll want you bagging the way that THEY want you to bag. I'm a bagger and I never teach you guys on how to be a cashier. Don't give me this "I've been working here 35 years...

I don't know if this is just my store or not, but our front end always seems to be shortstaffed every day, and they're constantly calling for help from other departments. (i am a dairy mgr.) It aggravates me and it should not be happening. They have their own people assigned to that department, so they sh...

Ok so I want to work at Kroger while keeping my day job at another supermarket retailer but have been told that you cannot work at a competitor company. How would that be enforced ? Once I am off the clock, what is it their business to dictate to me where I can work and where I cannot ?

When you guys have food served to you in the breakroom, please take the leftovers and put them in the fridge. It's really depressing to see 6 hour old hamburgers and frenchfries go to waste. Sincerely, the hungry night crew
