Alright so I just started in the deli department at my local Kroger. I really like the HR lady at my store who hired me, but not so much my new manager. She came up to see me on the day I was finishing my computer training in order to schedule me in for training. Our store is so hurting for help that she wante...
I am learning that at Kroger when it comes to hours, seniority means NOTHING. Despite what they told me when I was hired. In the department I work in there are 3 positions: 1 full time and 2 part times. I have been there longer than the other part time employee by 2 years and they gave him 40 hours and me 20 ho...
So, I'm a bagger, and I believe I'm a hard worker if I do say so myself. Passionate. So, A customer came up to me and asked for a 24 pack kroger with the bigger cap. She was older and the Plastic saving one's too hard to open. She already grabbed a 12 pack and was at checkout. She asked me to look, I looked hard &...
Does anyone out there have a management team that can say anything positive to the associates. Every negative seems noticed, but never ever do we hear a thanks for all you do. doesn't seem right that we have to be the most friendliest associates on the planet while being beat down and demoralized behi...
Hello all, I have had the beautiful transition from Kro life to freedom and a new job. Unfortunately I found out that the vacation time I would be receiving in my last check would be prorated. So if you know you're going to be leaving, or just plain had enough of the bs lifestyle we're put through at this ev...
Hi all ive missed three days in a row of work and my boss in demanding for me to bring in a doctors note. I've never brought in doctors notes before because they wouldn't take them. Can I call the union about this? And no I am not on any steps. Thanks
The Frys division has gone to crap since Jon Flora passed away. The employees mean nothing amymore. Everyone seems scared to death to lose their jobs. Especially coordinators. People really mattered to Mr.Flora and he proved it. Close to 2 years since his passing and it is just a sad place to
I was recently hired at Kroger as a part-time Drug/GM Clerk. My orientation date is soon and I'm still unsure if I should join the union or not (I do live in Indiana which is a right to work state) I'm 18, still in high school, this is only my second job at which I am going to make minium wage ($7.25). I don't pl...
We were told if a mystery shopper walked up to the deli counter and if every single person didn't say hi, we wouldn't get full credit for the mystery shop. Isn't that the dumbest thing you've ever heard of? I wouldn't shop at a place like that. I'd take my business elsewhere. Tell everyone you know to...
Ok so, it's my 2nd day on working at the Deli, and it was just me and this other girl, she worked there for a while, so I figured she knows what to do. It's 10pm, and we have to leave, but there are 3 slicers that aren't clean yet, I asked her, "what do we do with them? Do we just stay a little longer to clean t...
Our FE lead is doing "performance evaluations" of every employee in her department. I've heard that one of our CSR's (in my opinion, a rather good one too, very few dips when she works) got dressed down for a good half-hour, with a highly negative evaluation (the two have constant personal...
This is my first job as an overnight stocker. I've been on the job for around 2 weeks and was cheaply trained. Anywho no one EVER told me how to use the cardboard baler compactor thing . I asked an older lady but she never answered my question she just took the cardboard out of my hand literally moved (almos...
Does Kroger have an employee-employer mediation program, apart from the union, where former or present employees can work out disputes? Also, what jobs in the store are not considered covered by the union? I ask because certain states seem to have even non-union employees covered by union contrac...
Or does the store close early? I hate the online requests, because before you could request something like "I can't work past ___ on this day," but with the online request form you have to request the day off and then put down what hours you're available for. Most of the time in my store they ju...
What is the proper procedure for disciplining an employee who does a no call no show? Are there write up forms? Do i get the co-manager to handle it? What would u do? -- Edited by biscuitparty on Saturday 28th of March 2015 07:39:23 PM
I've been working overnight full time for kroger for at least 5 years. On my last pay stub it showed that I got paid a night preimum for just 1 hour for the week and for the whole year so far. This whole time I just assumed and took for granted that I was getting paid It. So, I went on HR express and combed throug...
I had four days of approved time off/paid vacation last week, and I didn't receive the vacation pay today (Thurs). Does vacation pay take longer than normal work pay to be posted?
So I'm givig my manager 2 week notice next week. I've heard of managers who automatically knock you off schedule when you give the notice. How often does this occur?
