So i am coming up to a year working at kroger. I like it (I go to college to). One of our dairy guys left and they moved me to diary the next day and got told I would be there a week, then a manager told me I might stay there. I do not want to stay in dairy. They ignored my days that I need off for college classes. I hav...
Is unavailability like time requested, as in its just a request or what? I've had certain hours set as unavailable for awhile now because I can't work them but this week I was scheduled during those hours, what happens if I leave early?
We're busier than we've ever been. Every weekend our stores are packed full of pretty much everyone in town. We're slammed. The weekdays are nothing to sneeze at either. Yet every week they tell us our sales are down from last year and we're over budget and we're not doing our best to sell. If only we co...
I work in the deli (non-management) and I earn top pay, which is $13.65. I saw a job posting for "Level IV Toy Department Lead" at my store. I didn't even know that there was such a thing because I've never seen it on the list of department managers. I'm debating whether or not to apply for it. Do...
My question is when you work a shift and you and you have to go back in before 10 hrs they call it short time rest overtime say I work 8 hours is it suppose to be time and half for those 8 hrs if so how does this show up on your check stub...thks
I was having a chat with a co-worker of mine and I said that I don't understand why they can't get any bodies in the deli since we're short handed. The co-worker said that he spoke to one of the store managers and he said simply put: the costs. According to this store manager, it costs ~$1,000 per new hire...
The one thing I cannot stand is when a coworker from the Front End comes outside and asks me personal questions about my life. They then began to judge me when they don't know sh!t about me. Honestly I NEVER really speak about my personal life; That is why work is called 'work'. You go there, do 'work', and...
Since the creation of the third and fourth hiring tiers at Kroger it has become blatantly obvious that they wish to create a tension filled work place where turn over is increased. Low paid employers with little ability to advance to a higher rate and not enough hours to make a living are more likely to...
I worked at the Kroger in my area last summer as a bagger, and it seemed that most or all of the grocery clerks were men. I want to get into another department this summer, and I'm eying an overnight grocery clerk position. Would they be less likely to hire me in as a grocery clerk if I'm a girl?
I swear you would have thought it was the day before Thanksgiving or Christmas as busy as the store was today. The bakery usually does around $17,500 a week. As of Thursday, we were already over $20,000. I wouldn't be surprised if our sales were double what they normally are by the time the week is ove...
My managers were not happy lol We already had two recent quitters and I found a better job, even though it's a temporary one. I put my notice in and all night the managers were telling me how they think this new job has nothing on Kroger and I have a bright future with them and crap. Gee, maybe if they treat th...
Last Sunday during our busiest time of day our store manager was chatting on the perimeter of the sales floor with another store manager who was shopping. This lasted about 20 minutes all the while he didn't say hi to other customers. Today we get a nasty email saying we didn't say enough hi's to ou...
I like working at the deli but sometimes I feel that my manager is only looking out to see what I do wrong instead of paying more attention to what I do right..
They're in the final planning & permit grabbing stages of bringing the areas first marketplace store, which will be located 13 miles from my current work place, supposedly with a late 2016/early 2017 grand open goal. The store I'm in now is small, relative. We do a little over 500 a week, and all...
Hello, I have recently transferred departments, and have needed several things from my AA, one of them being essential for me to actually do my job. My AA has "tried" to help, but seems to be too incompetent to help, since it's been almost 2 months and still nothing has been done. I speak to my...
i made another post recently about availability issues. my supervisor always puts me down for hours that are outside of my availability. i asked her if she could shift my hours to another time. she said that she couldn't. i did not come in because i could't miss my prior obligations. then i get question...
I've officially been on the phone waiting for close to an hour trying to call into work sick. No one is answering any of my calls, and I don't have my supervisors number. I've been throwing up since 4:30 this morning (so roughly two hours), and since another person I'm living with has strep or the flu (som...
