Just curious, but have you ever worked at a store where it seems like one guy gets sick, another one breaks his back, another one ends up in the hospital for some problem, the guys supposed to replace them are not up to snuff, IF the guys who are out of commission are even replaced at all...and then you have...

I have 6 hours to finish 9 isles and they must all be done perfectly, everything L blocked. The problem is it usually takes me 7 or more hours to finish and the managers keep giving me **** about...

I am a Grocery Clerk, I work with the Grocery Manager who has 40+ Years of Service. Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of respect for the man, but...For instance, when we are stocking just say a pallet of Canned Meat, the backstock I place next to the pallet to take back when we are done stocking, my Grocery Man...

This next month is the last fiscal period of the year for Kroger. This is the one where everyone has to cut to the bone on hours and dollars spent on supplies and inventory to make it all look good for the Corporate big wigs. So my manager says we need to cut another 100 hours from the Grocery Dept. for next we...

I am filling out my paperwork to start at Kroger on Tuesday. I found this site while researching some more about Kroger and unions. After reading so many of these posts, I'm skeeeered.

I have a question, I'm a part time Kroger employee and I was told that for working on Christmas eve is considered a holiday. On Christmas eve do we recieve holiday pay or do we recieve the extra 4 hour deal?

In reading some of these threads, I've noticed that some stores are "Department Managers", in the case of thedude as a department manager who was appointed. The district that I am in is still a biddable department head job for all except Floral, DSD, and File Maintenance, those are appo...

I'm confused, is the goal >.50 or <.50? I've been doing pretty good the last few weeks, my elms always being in the top 5. But then I was suddenly asked to print out a thingy (nosale-96-signon) and was told that my .47 tendertime was bad and that below .50 is considered failing. (the lady that told m...

What is your view on working Christmas Eve/Day? Me personally, I would NEVER work those days, even for time and a half. Family and friends come first in my book around the holidays, no matter what the job. I'm certainly not going to be 'doing time' at Kroger of all places, being the worst.

Since the Christmas holiday has come and passed, for the following week, if you have direct deposit which day should your paycheck hit? I've been told the usual day or it's now the day after.

Anyone notice Great Wide Dedicated Transportation has been hauling Kroger trailers instead of Ruan? Is this for good or just temp? Noticed since we got the first Great Wide delivery, our truck has been dispatched from the warehouse between 9 and 12 hours late.

So management has cut our hours across the board so they can save labor and get that big Christmas bonus, yet they want everything done as if we had a full staff ? Everything has to look fresh and stocked so the corporate big wigs are impressed and they don't look bad. Then come January 2nd, they will cut...

I am a union member of UFCW but I don't work for Kroger. Can I still get a copy of their contract from the union office or do I have to be an employee to get it ?

Well, I started working at Kroger several months ago. I'm currently a conditioner (front end/bagger) according to my HR account online. There's plenty of favortism in the store, especially with one worker who can get away with anything and just receive a slap on the wrist from the boss. For example,...
