hi, everyone in krogerl land. two days agoe at my store one of our cashiers severely cut her fingur on the register belt due to faultey equipment. manager took her to clinic and was given many, many stiches and then brought back to work to finish her shift.after coming back she slipped on floor and was knocked out and taken to hospital with head injury. this was an older women and a great cashier. we, at my store are still shocked that she was brought back and expected to work rest of day after getting 30 stitches. As a manager would you not take care of your employee and say 'go home and rest? Does kroger not understand about taking care of its people? If she had been a customer it would be a whole different story. She will now be off untill who knows becouse of head injury and I CERTAINLY HOPE SHE WILL BE OK but I must say krogers management or whoever trains its managers should be ASHAMED. Everyone out there be careful on the job because your just a body and they dont care. kroger managers need to remeber the golden rule before they were bought off 'DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE DONE UNTO YOU' AND HAVE COURAGE TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT. By the way register belt is now fixed just too bad a good employee suffered. take care
She probably never would have fell and hit her head if she had not been upset about her finger. So really all the manager did was screw himself. Instead of her taking the day off for her finger now she has several for a blow to the head. Hope she's okay.
Oh wow. She should have at least gotten the rest of the day off. That reminds me of a lady I know who works in our deli. She burned her hand a couple months ago when she spilled deep fryer grease. The deli manager told her to get a glove, fill it with ice and stick her hand in it.
They waited an hour or two to take her to the hospital. She finally went, they told her that putting it in ice is the worst possible thing you can do. There was a possibility of having to do a skin graft (but i don't think they did). She had a couple weeks off after that.
a long time ago I was a manager for a Frisch's Big Boy. We ran out of hot fudge so I ran down to our dry stock room to get a can. In doing so I fell over a milk crate in the darken room and snapped my wrist. I went to the hospital and got a cast applied and when done I called and was asked if I was going to come back in to finish the night. Like an idiot I did and I was there until 5 am in the morning trying to do closing duties that normally would be finished by 1am. the next day I went in and told the district manager what an unsympathetic piece of crap he was and ended my days there at Frisch's. Lucky for me I did get workmans comp and unemployment.
that reminds me - about 2 years ago i broke my thumb when i tripped jogging. i was an asst deli manager then and had to figure out a way to work with a huge thumb spica cast. it was hillarious trying to get an xtra large glove over that thing.
