I've been a conditioner about 5 months now and i've been having a harder time than usual completing my workload. I have 6 hours to finish 9 isles and they must all be done perfectly, everything L blocked. The problem is it usually takes me 7 or more hours to finish and the managers keep giving me **** about it. Now i have drug gm coming up to me telling me im stealing there hours and i should stop slacking off. The other big problem if they give the other poor guy only 4 hours to finish the other isles, plus frozen and OTC.
I've already been written up for staying on the clock longer than scheduled as well as leaving gaps when the extra product is actually in go backs. So how is it at your store, same old **** or should i know anything? I'm starting to envy the front end workers who bag and take carts in.
I been told once by a very old kroger mang. That my family was friends with, he said that how he treated his labor that if one worker fails in his store, we all fail. He died about 10 years ago and then kroger operated and ran stores different then, and I did not work for kroger then, but the old man was right. Today we are all failing, store mang is failing the local union is falling behind and has failed all of us.we are all failures of kroger stores corp politics . Im sorry to tell you that your days are limit with kroger, your union will not help you, they may tell you thAt things will work out and they will talk to mang or some brush off $hit story like that and THEN you may think everything is hunky dory, and tHEN THE attacks about your work you do will start heavy against YOU. They will NOT reason with u at all, its like they came from a women prison as a woman prison guard or something (mang) when they unlish your punisment. they just want to burn us and turn us. However someone is watching us all, and they are learning about kroger bigger then kroger,and they are on labor side,
Here's how we do it my store. My store is a 24 hour store. We have a GROCERY Dept Nightcrew of 2 men (10P-6:30A). It is their responsibility to face (Condition) the the grocery aisles. Drug/GM, Dairy, and Frozen, etc are faced by their clerks during the day. Back to Grocery, the 2 associates face the aisles the work. They start facing the other aisles at 1AM. One will do the upper shelves, while the other is rolling on a set of wheels and a crate from Dairy Dept. Still takes about an hour or so to face the store.
