In response to this management took him off running stock and had him condition(face up) some of the non dry grocery depts (3rd shi...

I catch the bus to work everyday and my supervisor has been scheduling me to work until closing time at 1:00 am in the morning. The buses stop running at 11:00 so I have been walking home by myself, which is extremely dangerous for woman even if it is a 15 minute walk. Is there anything that can be done about...

I am new to this site but need to voice how disappointing it is to see a company appear to do a good thing by hiring handicapped employees only to see them verbally harass and humiliate them. Shame on them, and shame on you who participate in the harassment or allow it to continue unchecked.

King Soopers ( a division of Kroger) is union. If I transfer to a Kroger store in another state that is also union why do I lose my seniority?

My store has had an issue with Telxon disappearances. We have lost 3 in less than two years. What does your stores do to keep track of them?

If an employee wants to transfer to another department or another store can management say no? I want to transfer out of the deli but have told I'm too valuable an employee. So in other words, I'm being penalized for being a good worker?

It seems that since the start of the year, our contract is up in October, my store has been spending money on a stupid stuff. Seems they don't want to have any money when we demand a raise. Anyway weve had a new register installed, que-vision, sent people for stupid meeting regarding key retailing that...

We just got a new deli manager after being with the last one for over 20 years. Her name is Jenny. She's only been here a few days and people are already having problems with her. She said we had too much backstock in our cooler and freezer. So she didn't put any orders on for several days. When the bac...

I just finished going through the program to become a bakery manager. I'm waiting to hear which store I am going to be sent to. However, I do have a question pertaining to my pay rate. The one thing I guess I never thought to ask was: how many hours need to be logged before a pay increase happens, or is the hou...

After soooo many years of hoping and praying that one of the lazy baggers I've had to put up with would be fired or quit or anything to happen so he wouldn't work at the store anymore, lo and behold! My wish has been finally granted. I couldn't be anymore happier.

Are other stores allowed to have water? We can only drink water from the gross drinking fountain.

At my store one of our long time employees just lost one of her siblings, this just after the death of her father a few months ago. Anyway she didn't get funeral pay for her fathers death because of her being on vacation at the time. My question is, shouldn't you still get funeral pay if your on vacation?...
