i dont follow. what are 'stickies"?

the moderator has been gone for a very long time. So we won't ever have any stickies

Did you contact R&B or activeboard?

Thank you so much for posting this.  I may actually copy and paste this and take it into work to place for the other employees to see with everything that has been going on.

yea drew - you (and everybody on here ) should. kroger management is supposed to abide by several core values. they are HONESTY, INTEGRITY, RESPECT, DIVERSITY, SAFETY, and INCLUSION. 

Honesty doing the right thing & telling the truth
The Company is committed to being honest and fair, and doing whats right for our associates and customers. Associates at all levels are expected to uphold this standard with the Company, other associates and our customers

Integrity living our values in all we do, united approach to how we do business and treat each other
We are accountable to our customers, and to each other, to conduct ourselves every day according to our Core Values

Respect valuing opinions, property and perspectives of others
Every associate deserves to be treated with respect, and to treat others in the same manner. The Company is committed to creating a work environment based on mutual respect and dignity.

plus all managers are to uphold the OPEN DOOR POLICY.  At my past store, I always wanted to go upstairs to my store manager's office and knock on his damn door.  When he peeks out and sees me standing there and says "what's up?"  I would lean into his office and go "hey do you practice the OPEN DOOR POLICY?"  he would then say "yea sure come on in."  i would then head in and sit down in the chair across from his desk and sit there silently for 3 minutes.  he would be looking at me and I at him. Then I would get up and leave. On my way out I would say "Thank you" and head back downstairs to my department.

The problem with some stores is that these damn managers they got do not abide by these policies.  THAT IS WHERE WE NEED TO CALL THEM ON IT!  How can a person accept their paycheck from Kroger who obviously has implanted very detailed plain to read 'ground rules' on business conduct when they are acting in complete polar opposite to what Kroger is trying to instill?  It is downright hypocritical blaphemy to the 'religion of kroger'.

 BAM! 

My friend was being harassed in the sexual manner. She kept asking said person to stop. No luck. Told management multiple times and what she would do if it continued. No luck. Said person did it AGAIN. He ended up with a bloodied nose and a black eye because he "squeezed her tooshie." Her reward? Lost job. She got a better one though.

The guy lost his too. (Surprisingly)

He got off lucky. Her husband would have out the guy in the hospital for a week or more.

Yo, idiot. This isn't a Kroger-sponsored site. Please don't present any names, location, store details, and any accusations unless you REALLY want to get in deep ****.

 

 

Sincerely,

A fellow employee in arms

What kind of company puts a hardworking victim through so much?

The corporate kind with few ethics and little accountability.

You may type or copy/paste your report yourself to avoid the telephone ordeal:  https://secure.ethicspoint.com/domain/media/en/gui/16000/index.html to https://secure.ethicspoint.com/domain/en/report_company.asp?clientid=16000&override=yes&agreement=no .

Work injury so I'm on light duty conditioning and I work on 8 isles both sides no help other than my manger and all he does is talk ****... I have neck and arm injury so I can't life anything over ten pounds, it was ok for the first few days and I admit I play along with him but sometimes he goes to far and now he tells me that my performance sucks that I'm slow no I walk around. I hurt all damm day and night I have now RX for the pain because krogers sucks!! (Long story) anyway now this guy wants me to work regular duty because he said he doesn't care what the dr said I'm going to do what he says if not for me to quit or he'll fire me.... What do I do?

Reporting and investigation procedure for sexual harassment and other forms of harassment

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you believe that you are being sexually harassed by a co-worker, supervisor, customer or vendor, or if you believe you are being harassed by a co-worker, supervisor, customer or vendor because of your race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability or sexual orientation, you should take these steps:

 

1) Firmly and clearly tell the person who is harassing you that his or her behavior is unwelcome and should stop at once. If possible, take a witness to this discussion. Write a statement about the incident and what you did to stop it, including dates, times and places. This statement will be helpful if the harassment continues and the company needs to investigate. If you are uncomfortable with telling the person who is harassing you to stop, then proceed to the reporting procedure below.

 

2) Report the incident to your immediate supervisor, another member of management, any person in the Human Resources Department, the President, General Manager, Distribution Manager or call the Kroger Helpline at 1-800-689-4609 or email your concerns to (helpline@kroger.com). Your report should be as specific as possible, including the name of the person who is harassing you, a description of the conduct and the effect that conduct is having on your working conditions and work performance, and the names of any witnesses who could assist in the investigation. All claims of harassment will be investigated promptly and will be handled professionally and as confidentially as circumstancespermit. Your further participation in the investigation may be necessary, and you will be informed of the outcome. The company will not tolerate reprisals or retaliation against persons reporting alleged harassment or anyone participating in the investigation of the alleged harassment.

 I was harassed based on my race. It was promoted by the ASL. She told members of her community to watch me blow the whistle. 

The HR did nothing. Then got an replacement, HR said out loud "Were you threaten? Did you fear for your life? If not, it's nothing to worry about"

That HR was promoted to floating HR to train others. Another HR came and well, by this time, it's just one of those HR saving the company because Kroger is an friendly place to everyone but will kill nice people. 

Pinned posts will be kept clean, informative, and non-combative. If you want to argue/vent then do it in a normal post.

I have won several harassment complaints in my store. I like to joke around that I am batting 100 percent. 2 complaints for harassment, 1 for religious discrimination (because I refused to bag abortion pills), and one for a seniority violation (passed over for transfer into the Fuel Center-CS manager was forced to transfer out.) I have filed 3x on one manager, she ended up getting a final warning. On the last one the regional HR rep and us (store mgr, me, HR rep and Union rep) all reviewed the security video-Union rep said it was clear I was being targeted-mgr and HR also agreed with the assessment. 

Yes it has happened in our store several times-but I don't know what the outcome was 

I have won 4 harassment complaints in my store. 2 of those complaints resulted in demotions for the manager involved and a regional HR person who was involved in one the complaints that didn't do her job got demoted to store manager

The "Harassment Procedure" will only work if you hire an Attorney.

Then the Attorney may resolve the issues and will take all the money if you are owned any and you will be without a job and still very harassed.

LOL not

 NOT true. Get your regional HR involved (that will usually come from your Union Rep) and your in-store Union rep. That is VERY important.
