I am just going to rant for a sec . . . Blow off some steam. I love talking directly to executive managment. They hate it! They don't like it when somebody at a low level, such as myself, speak directly to them. It bruises their ego, you can tell. They think to themselves, "Who is this peasant, and how d...
I am a sacker. People view sackers as the scum of the Earth. We aren't important to managers, customers, or other employees (only in rare cases for other employees). I have been almost run over in the parking lot of my Kroger because some people don't even give a second thought about who might be behind t...
What is the criterion that Kroger uses for deciding who you can work for while you work for them? I contacted the union and they told me that there is no federal law that says you cannot work for whoever you choose - it is just Kroger law. Are all grocery chains considered competition? can you work for groc...
i don't understand why management seems clueless on what really goes on in the store. I can't understand also why they say they want everything Krogers way. But ignore the problems at hand that is affecting customers because an employee mentioned it, like we are stupid. Well wakeup people.........
So is anyone else in the same boat as I am and feel as I do, at a dead end job can never get ahead, unappreciated I am about to the breaking point and about to just tell everyone to **** off, GRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
if there were potentially a position availiable within your department (such as say, fruit cutter in within the produce department or maybe working with cakes within the deli department) how do you go about getting the job and what are your rights if you had asked for the job but they gave it to someon...
I wondering anyone in Georgia store area; can tell me what their higher pay rate for clerk-cashier for 8 yrs experience. I want to transfer from Michigan to Georgia.
Same as the title. I really doubt anyone from that store reads this blog. But perhaps someone in one of the lynchburg stores or even the farmville stores area present. I doubt the charlotsville or any other stores in that area know about the appomattox store. Anyway.. What have ya heard? Do you work...
it has begun one of the oldest kroger stores in GA is closing up, next month. too many stores, too close together, and they are competing with each other, which i was saying 6 years ago, when they built two krogers, inbetween where i live, and the kroger i work at/ you simply can't have stores five miles ap...
When they propose a new contract why do they put so much emphasis on the words within the contract instead of dealing with actual issues that need attention? It seems like the last time we had a new contract proposed, they didn't help [most] of the employees (they helped dept backups and that's about i...
Alright well i work at store 614 and our manager has a few policies that really need to change. First she constantly allows grocery clerks to be called up front to cashier. and its not just every once in a while, its more like everyday. Second, she's makin afternoon grocery clerks work from 330-12 inste...

The insurance is all set by a contract negotiation between Kroger and the local union (s) that cover the employ...
I have 2 weeks left out of the total 3 that i get yearly. With me having almost no help in my department the chance that i'll get both of the remaining weeks taken before the end of the year is almost zero. My question is, can i just file a request for vacation in order to get paid for them and not actually take/...
If you are ever at a Quarterly update meeting (at least in my division) you will notice that when they speak about numbers (identical sales, mystery shop scores, customer/associate tracker) that they ALWAYS talk about how it effects THEIR BONUS! The people at the top are clearly only interested in w...

what does your store do if you take longer than 15 minutes on your breaks and lunches? Our store has begun hilighting our timecards and printing out a list of how many minutes each employee steals each day/week. If you take a 16 minute break for instance, you stole 1 minute. The problem is they don't c...
