So here's a fun thing I heard from a department head yesterday. Lately my pickup department has been getting more and more people and our schedules have been suffering, it's mostly just 4 or 6 hour shifts. Barely any 8 hour shifts anymore, Everytime I asked about it I was told oh next week we'll have more...
I was hired to work in Clik list (not the front end!). I took this job because I know my limitations..that I am unable to tolerate being watched and stared at by long cashier lines. From day one the clik list dept head was rude, condescending, humiliating. It seems every dept in the store finds her impo...
An old guy I work with told me that the company can take away your stuff, like if you win the lottery or something they will just take it because you were an employee. I asked the hr person about it and got no denial just evasion and asking me stuff. Now they want to know who I was talking to and all of the mana...
I haven't been scheduled in weeks, but I had a vacation scheduled next week and I got paid for it. I asked the managers, but they're being incredibly vague about it and won't give me real answers. I talked to the union about it and their only solution was to bump people, but I don't think it's a viable solut...
Should I report this to my stores management?A coworker fired for theft was caught in the employee break room for no apparent reason. He acted dumbfounded when employees asked what he wa doing there. He was fired 2-4 months a go and we occasionally keep finding him in the break room. Im worried he mi...

So my union contract says for part timers such as myself we have to have 24 hours notice of any shift changes if the schedule has already been posted. I'm over night 10-6 and was told last Monday night we would have to come in at 7...we werent told until 11 pmish....that's a violation by my reading of the c...
Do you ever find that certain departments always end up with terrible help and lazy employees? I have noticed both deli and front end end up with the laziest people around. Night crew sometimes has the same issue.
Since I got back from maternity leave I've had $5 taken out of each check for union arrears.....are they really making me pay back my dues for the weeks I was off for maternity leave?
Such a dumb slogan. And it has been trademarked. Kroger spent a HUGE amount of money on their new ad agency in NY to come up with this. It should already be a "given", right?? It should be assumed that we now (and always have) wanted to provide fresh products to all customers. All grocery stores tr...
Not sure I understand.........is this new yellow signage with the "cartoonish" looking characters for a limited time (one period, one month, 6 months, a year???) or is it the new, relatively "permanent" theme / motif / logo / brand we are going to use??? I would like to hear what everybody thinks o...
Anybody else feel this way??? I barely take a break and Im constantly made to feel like I just never do enough , And besides that I am treated like an incompetent. Theres no way I could possibly finish and manage all the things that they give you to do in a shift, since we are so understaffed all the time ....
