Friday I went to HR at the district level and the union for violating our contract. Our co manager got mad and started to get angry over the phone when he asked why I did it. My question is they know they are wrong so why get mad at someone doing something about it. So many violations get over looked because n...
What is the policy at your store? How often are comments printed? Who all at your store actually reads them? Are they discussed at huddles? How often are huddles held? Do your managers print and make the comments available to anyone to read?Do you have any idea if they have the ability to 'censor' some...
Recently the sick pay policy changed. I believe we get sick pay on day one now right? It use to be on day three with a doctors note or immediate hospitalization. I'm tired of having a full bank of sick pay I can't use nor will ever use.
Ive been working for Kroger about 2 years now and the whole time Ive worked. They always keep the store so cold inside even in winter. I have to wear several layers even in summer and its still not enough, I swear every time I wear more layers of clothing to work they make it even colder! All the customers me...
So my local Kroger seems to be out of this product. I had ask a worker if there was any and he just straight up says were out! I know hes lying and just doesnt want to go in the back to actually look... stop the lying! Get my aLL!!
tonight at around 4am, i stepped outside for a smoke break and saw a little glimmer of light in the corner of my eye. i walked over to the picnic table that is behind our building, and lo and behold, (i assume) a homeless man was sitting there with a little tiny bonfire raging next to him! i wanted to say some...
I have an anxiety disorder so I had some I excused absens and been late a few times. Well this week I was only scheduled for one day and I told a coworker I could cover them the next. Well the coworker was closing so I was told that I couldnt cover for them. Today I got suspended for all the missed days. Now they...
I was hired and trained for grocery well over a year or so ago. When I was hired and I would just be working grocery, gave my job description and training, etc. Just a few weeks ago they have began scheduling all of us for various departments anywhere from 1-3 nights a week. Do they do that at your store and w...
Our new store manager thinks the bakery is overstaffed. i have just a few questions for any other bakery managers. 1. What is average weekly budget? 2. Do you usually exceed your budget or do you fall short? 3. How many hours are you given? 4. How many hours do you actually use? 5. How many people in your d...
Should I call the union?I work with a courtesy clerk who continues to pull customers through self check and process their order for them.He has been warned several times by other corworkers this is a union violation.He's been intervened several times and stopped and pushed away.Coworkers are...

Been hearing another trash song being played at least every 4 to 6 hours at Kroger. It's been on the playlist maybe 6-8 months, maybe a year. Totally unintelligible lyrics, but about all I can say is the main verse or chorus (phrase) consists of about 12 - 14 notes, each word/syllable completely inde...
They're upset that we don't EVER have any working electric carts? They keep complaining to us but we can't do anything. Maybe if I tell them to call corporate, maybe something might happen? Feel kinda bad when I have to tell an elder lady who really needs one of those carts that they're all dead or being u...
There is no reason to call 3 employees because one is sick. 2 of the employees is literally doing nothing but walking back and forth and chatting. They are just in the way.
Kroger Union is trash. Negotiating a measly .25 cent raise ain't nothing, nor is 1 dollar good for leads. Leads should be getting paid atleast 3 to 5 dollars more due to the stress, department upkeep we have to do. At my store, leads don't last more than a year and a half. Frozen, even less. Nutritio...
A fellow employee I work with is a cashier. However, they applied for bigger and still want to transfer. What would some of the lines be that management hands out to basically say they don't want to approve of the transfer?
