Hello all, I work in a Cincinnati store, I was due my first wage increase the first of this month, it never came so I was told to call HR. HR told me that since min wage went up in Ohio the first of the year (a month before my raise was due) that Kroger counted the wage increase as my raise and my next raise will a...
If you think you are being unfairly treated/harrassed by a fellow coworker, is there anything you can do about it? Would this be an issue to take to management or the union? What if management doesn't do anything about it? This is getting out of hand and I can't even go to work and do my job without verbal a...
This isn't a lesson on CAO, just an FYI. But for one thing the CAO layout will tend to change. But if you really want to learn CAO or you need to, talk with your grocery manager. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about CAO in the entire store. I mean they know just about everything if not everything abou...
Toward the end of the day on Homecoming Day, a couple families called the store floral department for last minute boutonnieres and corsages. Although I have only begun working at Kroger, it was rewarding that my manager had confidence in my ability to create these floral pieces to satisfy our custom...
So, I changed the bank I get direct deposits to. It did not deposit, so I checked the old account. Nothing. Lovely. Paystub says I got paid but shows nothing for where it would be deposited. What worries me is tomarrow is my last day with the company, and I move to another state on wednesday and need that...
Kroger recently notified participants in their employee 401K plan of changes to the investment options for the plan offered by Merrill Lynch, which was purchased by Bank of America during the last financial meltdown (BOA was forced by the US government) to keep it out of bancruptcy. The plan, whic...
According to those surveys. Now we're going to be pushed harder to be more friendly to people. Forced hellos to anyone within arm's length, telling them to take the survey on the receipt, blah blah blah.
Does anyone know if I can do anything about my unit manager? We're running a skeleton crew (can't keep anyone for more than a month), and it's turning out to be 10 hour nights minimum, which is fine most of the time, but times I want to follow my schedule due to plans, my manager loses his mind. I don't think...
Full timer here, been hearing rumors about being demoted and tranfered from other co-workers and been personally told by a friend right after they talked to the store manager about me being demoted and tranfered. But I haven't been told anything? All I did was tell the manager I was gonna call the unio...
Hello everyone, I was recently signed up to be a utility clerk by my customer service manager without being asked. I'm normally a courtesy clerk and have been for as long as I have worked there. However, I prefer not to be in utilities but I'm not sure if I should talk to my CSM about that. She said she was so...
She swiped her card on the pinpad, thinks she's paid. Comes to me saying that she didn't get a receipt. I'm like, no maam, you didn't pay. I tell her that she has to press the "card" button on the self checkout's screen to finish paying. I try to explain to her the pinpad is waiting for her response from the o...
Have you folks ever had occurrences where you find yourself bumping into the same person at work... no matter which corner you turned, no matter which hallway you walk down, no matter how random of a time you go to bail your cardboard or go pee, etc? I swear this keeps happening to me at my job. Especially...
Do they say "hi" and "thank you" to you? Do they treat you like any other customer? Do they give you eye contact and acknowledge your existence? I've noticed at my store, all the managers never go to a cashier's lane, they always use the self checkout. I wonder why.
I honestly don't know what is wrong with me. People hate me. People are intimidated by me from the moment I say 'Hello'. Everyone I work with, in my department, hates me. They loved me at first. They gave great reviews about me. They constantly told me how good I was, what a good work ethic I have, and how...
Does any one know if all Kroger stores and their affiliates are distributed similar seasonal items? As I'm trying to look up this really awesome Caramel Apple Torte Cake that my store got in with our seasonal stuff. Had yellow cake, with apple filling(like how they would put in one of those baked apple...
So I was coming into work the other day and noticed a new posting about us doing a kids night(can't forget the costumes and fun) on Oct. 24th and that each dept. has to have an activity for the kiddies. To which I believe this is brought to us by Apparel and the culture council. And has me wondering, is anybo...
