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...
I am in the Dallas area and in Local 540, the meat department. The grocery and others , in Dallas area, are all under Local 1000. We local 540, has a little different insurance that local 1000. 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...
Overall Q2 Sales Up 6% at Kroger The Kroger Co. reported total sales increased 6.0 percent to $18.8 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, versus $17.7 billion for the same period last year.

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...
So they have a temporary contract ready and union members will be voting this week. It includes our meat cutter union as well. No terms have been leaked and the union reps are keeping lips sealed. Managment is encouraging everyone to attend the meetings. We will see if it's worthwhile.
could be anything, favoritism, worthless employees who get preferencial shifts, lousy manager(s)/department heads not pulling their weight. posting as anonymous is probably the best bet here. GO!
as you know this company will hire just about anyone, including those with less than enough ability to do even the simplist of jobs. Well we have several, but recently one made me chuckle a bit. He's a nice guy, but I guess not the best worker because he pissed off one of my co-workers pretty bad here rec...

Beyond the "we don't have enough help" and "we don't have enough hours, it's ELMS fault"...what do you think...Front End WIG boards...do they work? Do you find them helpful? Have you been trained completely on it? Does your Manager support it? Don't attack me...I just am wond...
In our company (obviously Kroger ha), they act like there is no favoritism or that they don't prefer certain people over some. But I'm sorry- I think this is ridiculous. I'm not trying to slander any of my coworkers, i simply want you all to know that the problem of favoritism and shrugging off requests...
