Every part timer on our 3rd shift schedule is scheduled for four hours a night this week. Kroger makes less sense to me everyday i work here. How are you suppose to get a truck done by 2 in the morning when usually we are there til after 6 in the morning?

Can you refuse to work with someone in your dept? I've talked to mngrs for weeks and months now about how I feel harassed by this person (as have several employees) but they seem unable to do anything about it. I am just refusing to work directly with her, could I get in trouble!

Yes, I would like to know how it works, the rule, what is stated in krogers policy. I beleive it is being abused by the Manager's cousin. Are you able to take everyones hours below you, and have a 40 hr week, leaving other employees with 16 hr week ( normally 24 hr). Because if thats true, what is the point of...

A lot of good people with a f***'ed up set of leaders there. So anyone out there? And are you guys planning on running out of turkeys agai...

Why is it the old, fat, and female clerks are never called for carts? The majority of clerks are just that and the few other younger males do all the crap work. They have the same job title and pay scale as me. I mean I'm not heartless but if the situation was flip flopped the females and old would be sueing if...

We got a letter at my store yesterday from the zone manager that said no overtime allowed unless approved by him. Anyone else hear anything like this.

Walking into a Kroger store is what I imagine China would be like under Mao with pro State messages from the Chairman being blared into the streets from loudspeakers every ten minutes. Does Kroger really hire people so supid they don't know how much people hate commercials or do they really not give a *...

Now Kroger is running scare tactic commercials directed at senior citizens to get them to buy Shingles vaccinations on the advice of a grocery store Pharmacist whose salary is being subsidized by Merck. No mention of consulting with a doctor. Yeah they really give a Rats Ass about our health.

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...
