A commenter on another site made this wonderfully written post about how Kroger's metric-centered policy negatively affects the employees and the company, wanted to share for how insightful and true it is:
Hiyo. I was wondering if anyone had access to a chart that tells the raises levels that each department gets over a time. Preferably for a night crew stocker? I'm currently getting $7.25. But I'm about to be promoted to an official night stocker, which would boost me to $7.50. I hear after that it's anot...
I found out that one of the co-managers left our store to work somewhere else. How long do you think it takes for them to realize "oh crap....how long can i really work here?"
I have called in maybe 4 times in the last 7 months. I had a fever and diahreaa and I called 8 hours before my shift. The manager demanded I got a dr note for this. I don't have insurance and can't afford it. Do I really have to get a note of am I going to lose my job?
I spoke up for myself today. They gave me a written verbal about my "tardies" and I told them I would not sign it, so the co store manager wrote down refused to sign. So when I told her about working in a hostile environment and the CMS using his size to intimidate me, she said I could write it down...
While I'm at it, I just wanna rant about the garbage they force us to listen to on the Food 4 Less radio station here on the west coast from 12am to 7am. What idiot thought it was a bright idea to program the same damn rock & roll songs to play over and over and over and over every single night at this time? W...
I'm currently a supervisor working 25-30 hours a week. I'm really fed up with supervising. I just want to be a bagger. Should I try to move to a different department, or ask nicely to just be a bagger?
or are they lazy like ours? Store was busy today so of course I could never keep up with bringing the carts in from the corrals in the parking lot. Our customers snatch up those small 'buggies' like they had $20 bills taped to them. One of these days I am going to do it just for the hell of it. Anyway... Went ou...
There is a flyer over by our break room upstairs that says we get 20% off certain purchases from August 29th - September 1st. Anyone else hearing or seeing this? -- Edited by FrontEndSlave on Thursday 28th of August 2014 01:35:31 AM
I've been wondering something for awhile. Can anyone start a thread without frontendslave turning it into his own personal rant. Please frontendslave slave, learn to follow instructions from superiors without taking it personally. Everyone should learn to do just three things. Clock in on time...
I am a new employee trying to figure out what hours I have and havent been paid... I can get my pay stub but were do I go to see what hours I worked for each individule day.??? my pay stub doesnt only shows total for payperiod.. can it be seen online from home or do you have to be on a kroger computer????
Okay so i work as a cashier and i am 19 so yesterday i scanned beer for another cashier who is under 18. Then one of the supervisors yelled at us about it and told me never to do that ever again. The thing is that I've been doing that since i was a bagger (i started when i was 18) and none of the other supervisors h...
I wish the managers would just leave the schedule alone and leave it as is. This week and last week, I've had handwritten times written underneath the original time on the schedule. In fact, all of the cashiers have. On the days that I had off, there would be a handwritten time and "OFF" was cr...
