So, I have a manager who, from what I've heard, is three grievances away from getting fired. Everyone knows she'll act up and it'll happen eventually, but most of us are just getting tired of dealing with her constant demeaning attitude and incompetence. Seriously, the store would function so much b...
I'm a college student working on a double degree in mechanical engineering and food sciences. I've been at it for about four weeks now, and I am getting 40 hours, overtime, and a second job as a short order cook nights, which all together makes up to around 64 hours. As most of you have written the job I hav...
I have been a co-manager for just under a year at a very VERY busy store. Are there any co-managers on this forum because I would like to ask some serious advice of a delicate nature. Kroger is a political landmine in management. All you long term employees who are protected by unions and rules... fryi...

Has anyone ever been sent home early? Tonight the managers went around and asked if anyone could go home early, I told them I couldn't be done by 8 but I could get out of there by 8:30. I left at like 8:20 leaving one person to close up for the night. I was told sales were down and they needed to cut back on hours...
So due to school next semester I am having to move about an hour and a half from the kroger I am working at. I told my store manager about my plans and he told me I needed to call Krogers around my new area to see if there was a spot for a cashier. I called 4 krogers around my new area and 3 of them told me I would have...
Here was a situation that happened to me today: After bagging someones order, I started walking to bag another lane because it was in a desperate state.

I thought we were to get pay raises with this contract starting 3/24 but it says my pay rate is still the same as before. Does anyone know anything about this? Figured I'd ask here before I ask union rep
My shifts are pretty much open-ended and sometimes I have to work late afternoon/early evening. Of course this also means I have to deal with the lazy kids. Well one evening lazy kid comes in and tells me that I only need to worry about the corral furthest away from the lobby. I get there to discover that...

My store continuously schedules us for closing Midnight and opening the next morning at 6 a.m. When we complain, we are treated like there is something wrong with us and it is a big pain in the a__ __ to have to redo the schedule. Isn't the law 12 hours between shifts? Why don't you schedule managers t...
