I have health problems. I am over 50 years old. I have been employed with kroger for 33 years. I can not run a register because of a repetitive motion disorder with my neck. I also have fibromialgia. I have worked in the non food dept for at least 10 years because of my repetitve motion disorder. now that I can not work fast enough for the key retailing program they are going to put me back to running a register. this really sounds like discrimination to me. they are going to try to screw me out of my jobl.
Hey Dude, smart ideal,LOL As soon as she gives the note from the Dr. with restriations she is out untill the she has a full release.
She may also run the risk of being 'out'---permanantly. An increasing number of work places are insisting that an employee unable to perform required job functions is eligible for termination.
I have seen this thing happen several times.

perhaps you can be a u-scan only cashier? we have someone at my store that only goes on u-scan because she is older and has health problems with lifting things
I have the job for you HR!I am serious. ****dose nothing but sits and shuffles pappers,Hands paychecks outs,hires everyone she can in her family and is the store spy.
well after 42 yrs my husband just lost his job KROGERS IS NO PLACE TO HAVE A CAREER!!!!
Once u get older your replaceable and they will replace you there is no loyalty on Krogers part!!!
They found some little thing to get him on its not the first thing he even had an ex manager tell him Krogers was going to get him to retire! Oh they finally found a reason a coupon!
If your younger get out NOW!!!!!!!
ps another girl did the same thing and she is still there
Key retailing purpose is to give all mgmt. power for firing. It's a documentation system for showing poor performance, whether or not it exists. Kroger never does anything without ROI (return on investment) and Kroger's largest expense in the company is the pension fund. Notice how many older employees and chased out/fired. People with medical issues need to google ADA and read, really read. Kroger is doing this all over the company.
I am sorry, if you are unable to perform the essential functions of you job you should not be in that job. Excuses, I am sorry. Health is a problem, fight for disability, otherwise don't b*tch about them moving you elsewhere when in reality there is someone else who could easily do your job and do a better job at it.
