Our department barely has any staff and we are eligible to 2 days off minimum and I frequently get asked to come in and like hell I'm doing 6+ day work weeks. If you give me the minimum 24-48 hrs notice advance shift change and i have no plans I'll consider it. If it does not fall within that time frame I'm no...

Pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, RUN!!! DO NOT hire on with this company. They will blow smoke up your ass, promise you things, and once you are there they will pull the rug out from under you. You will find yourself on your own without support from upper management. They play mind games with you kee...

Remember: Staffing isn't your issue it's the company's. Stop letting them exploit the actively working staff and fight back. I'm so fed up with this company I want back to 4 days a week every other week. They're still not hiring people to fill the void and refusing to do so. Floaters are frustrating be...

Oh, I'm sorry that kroger can't hire enough staff but would rather hire utility clerk as floaters to fill the void. Which isn't even helpful half the time. A department needs more than 2 staff to operate efficiently. Instead of complaining about it kroger hire some damn staff. Even when school ends I'...

1 Staffing isn't my problem. 2 Hire more damn staff. Oh, wait you won't because you exploit your help into 6 days and 50+ work weeks. All good. I changed my availablity back to 4 days and they're kicking them selves. Thus exhausting the staff you have into quitting, illness or scheduling extra time off j...

This game of the company turning a blind eye to lack of staff is getting old. Current staff is worked to exhaustion and it causes us to become ill or develop health issues that go on for a while. I feel bad when I call out because there is zero coverage but that is the cost the company has decided to make by not...

I have been seeing a lot of posts on reddit about work scheduling people 10+ day work weeks, denying vacation/pto requests. Please set an availablity if you do not wish to work 50+ hr work weeks. Your bank account won't like it but your health won't. This will wear you down the longer you do it and exhaust...

Not sure if this post will last or not but if you are going to wear a mask on the chin just take the damn thing off as it does zero good and you look silly wearing a mask bib on your chin.

Hi all I was just wondering if any of you guys have heard of the new attendance and tardy policy where they are lumping tardies and missed work into the same category???

Good lord I hate this new time punching system. If you call out sick they do not want you to do the right thing and come in on another day off to make up the skipped shift. Due to them being on a tight hour budget. Then you have to constantly remind them to input sick pay for you. Even if you ask over the phone the...

Don't know if my coworker will see this but fmla is very strict about how long your job is protected for. If you wished for an extension you should of done it a couple months before the expiration date expired. Not after it did. Now you're just screwed. Please consider worker retraining programs throug...

I'm a cashier. I do a good job, but lately there has been a cut in hours for me and several other part-timers after a brief raise in hours (I was getting 30-35 weekly, and some were getting 38 to start). I'm wondering how to get full-time so I can be one of those guys that works from the ghostly hour of 6am to 2p...

I'm honestly ready to leave the store I've been at the last 7 yrs and move onto a bigger store. I am so sick of being the only active employee + lead.

I am so sick of full time and this started out as a health insurance job. Unlike others I do not really need the income from the job but it is nice to have it. Work fights me for requesting so much time off be it paid or not. Knowing vacation cashes out it will supplement the difference. I tried to vocally quot...

We don't have them here in the Local 1996 Atlanta GA area. Are you referring to the Shell stations that accept the KrogerPlus card for 3 cents off the price of their gas?

8th person died this week from listeria contamination. Publix has pulled most of theirs in this area. Why not Kroger?
