Hello, I'm a new Kroger employee. My store is located in VA. At first it was fine, I got pretty much ft hrs (yet still called pt cause it never goes 40 hrs for 12 weeks straight ).. Then it seemed to normalize (for what pt should be, around 20 hrs a week or so, I have another pt job I'd like to keep, so this is impo...

This woman, who just came back from pregnancy leave, apparently hates me. She constantly tells me, (and only me, not the other 8 baggers there with me) to use the loose bags before I leave. She doesn't tell me, it's like she demands it. Like eariler today, Angry Woman: Use all of these bags before you lea...

Ever had that one coworker that has a lot of seniority, thinks they know everything, and makes themselves a self appointed supervisor by telling the real supervisors about everything the lower employees do that slightly annoys them? Really makes life a *****

If I got to dressup in the d#mn uniform and drive my car in 5 days aweek, I'd ask for FT or go look for a FT job. Why in the hell would I want to come in more days than a Full TImer. Guess they think nobody has anythi...

Sorry but I need to vent a little bit! I go into work in the deli Thursday morning and just before I go to the time clock to clock in, the power goes out. Stays out for over an hour so we have to cover the cases and tell the stupid customers that we can't slice them anything because our slicers have no power a...

Does anyone know how to get your W2 electronically before they mail them out? I usually get mine in the mail at the end of January. Is there a way to get your Kroger W2 faster?? Thanks

How long does it take for a raise to take effect? I'm a pharm tech that passed my cert test over a month ago. I still haven't gotten my $2 an hour raise!

Our bakery used to close at 8, which is why they put me there. My available hours when I was hired were 8 am to 8 pm, so it worked perfectly.

It's all about wages and trying to get blood out of employees. I...
