I asked the union rep today if the union could make Kroger give us more help and she said no. I do not understand the union at times. My store is a marketplace and we have a skeletal crew to work that store. It is not working with not enough help. The union rep said that Kroger is telling the union that it is n...
so somehow next week a kroger manager put me down for 2 courtesy clerk shift? but I'm also working in the meat department for the rest of the week? are they allowed to do this? i read on another form that you had to sign some paper to work as a courtesy clerk again. i also thought you weren't allowed to work as...
Joy. With Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's holidays behind us, we leave behind one long, "fun" stretch in the world of retail and now enter a new, almost as obnoxious, time of the year, exclusive to Kroger (lucky us). The holidays have come and gone, so now it's time to "reempha...
I've been working here 3 months and as a cashier I constantly bend to get drinks from baskets. I'm 18 but my back hurts like hell once I leave work. If I need medical attention at some point will they cover it if I'm just 18.
I don't know what right they THINK they have to screw up my set availability but they did it. They keep switching things around. I have my availability set for a reason, that's beneficial to me. I keep switching it back over and over, they keep re-doing it over and over. I try talking to them and they say th...
I am a status one employee. My store manager always changes the schedules, and she put me on three nights next week. Is a 10 to 6pm still considered a night shift, and is it still over time if you have to work three of them in a week? -- Edited by agibu on Friday 7th of October 2016 04:41:34 PM
Everyone just shows up whenever (between 11pm and 2am) and just works the truck until their assigned aisles are done. Doesn't matter if you're schedule 7hrs, 4hrs, or 8hrs, if it takes you 10 hrs you stay 10 hrs.
all this bare bones and "work more" stuff got me wondering what it would cost the company to pay out workers comp claims on employee(s) vs just hiring people and giving more hours. Add 40 hours to a dept's schedule can't cost more than someone working too hard and getting hurt (time off/replacing inju...
I'm trying to keep myself calm but the more I think about what I'm about to type, the higher I can feel my blood pressure rising. I joined the Union back in March 2014. I was 20 at the time & I remember a Union rep. with a clipboard walking all around the store like a f***** Nazi trying to recruit new membe...
So, I've been with my store for over 2 years now... One of the few that have been there since the store opened... Ive done SCO since day one, but last year I started school so I changed my availability and since then I would do SCO twice a week, and be on a register the other two... In the beginning I'd only g...
Anyone on here work in South Carolina East Georgia area? Most stores in East Georgia and Coastal South Carolina were closed. How is it now? I am sure they are open up now. They acted like it really hurt them to close. But when people are told to evacuate they know they have to unless they want to be stuck in s...
I'm in Colorado not that it's really relevant here... I've worked for Kroger for almost a year and I've been offered a full time position. Will there be medical screening for health insurance purposes? If so, will there be drug testing? I regularly smoke weed (off the clock obviously) and am worried t...
I didn't have any time to talk to my bosses or HR before trying to kill myself, and when you are in a hospital for suicide, you don't get phone access. I didn't have anyone call in for me, except the first day in the hospital, because they wanted to focus on me "getting better". Treatment lasted a bit over 2 m...
I'm still on the less-than-stellar hours. How long does it take for the change I made on not-so-great people to go through? I checked and it still says "pending".
I've noticed that overwhelmingly, the amount of people who order ham salad at the deli are all old people. Once in a while you see someone under 60 ordering it, but not often. Whenever an older person walks up to the chef case I know that they're going to be ordering ham salad and more often than not I'm rig...
Where in the contract can I find information regarding how many times can a person call in sick? And what are the consequences of calling in sick or not showing up to work?
