they keep suspending her for alleged incidents that she swears she did not do......they would keep her off work suspended for 2-3 months at a time....this happen 3 times and just got tire of their bull****....i been with her 8 yrs and she never misses work.......she is practically deaf....her hearing has gotten worse with age...she was working in meat dept. and sometimes had probelms hearing customers.

we are going to find out monday from jeff crider.....i thought 10 weeks severance = 400 hrs.....she received 235 hrs.....even if they say fulltime is 32 hrs, that is 320 hrs.....i am very happy she is not employed any longer at krogers....we will be fine...one door closes..another one opens up....i just want krogers to honor the signed written agreement that kroger,union rep and her signed
The union is always cutting deals with Kroger, because the union usually doesn't want to actively persue what is fair and right. It was an open and shut case on one particular thing, but my union representive advised that I take it to avoid arbitration. Why exactly did she get a severance package?

she was a meat wrapper in the kettering area....she had 23 yrs in......could her hourly wage have caused a probelm in her dept ?......she worked many yrs in springfield and a meat cutter named thomas,who i think ran dept, took excellent care of her.....she should have stay there

well.....after telling my girlfriend i was calling jeff crider to find about the rest of the money,she showed me 3 more checks,which met the condition of the written severance....jeff...if you read this,i am sorry as my gf was deceptive....u know i have never taken a penny from her in 8 yrs...i ask for $280 every month for rent....i spend $500 alone in food....aint love grand....thanx everybody in this forum..enjoy your day
Just curious what did they keep suspending her for? no pay doesnt matter how much you make in a department. But could make you a target because management/kroger would rather fire the person making 15 an hour and replace them with someone making 7 an hour.
I've have had problems in the past where somebody didn't like me and they were trying to get rid of me... what did I do? I put in a letter to transfer since a spot was open at my old store and FORCED them to put me in where I wanted to be.

well,since she lied to me about her severance package amount, i am starting to wonder about her deceptive behavior . she was always elusive about her suspensions but i was led to believe they were from customers and management who would place her on new duties without training and then would find fault with her performance.
Go to couples counseling. You won't get the help you're looking for here. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but I know the board mods don't like going off of Kroger topic. Relationships are definitely not on topic. Good luck with whatever you decide to do...and just think, you saved money on not having to hire a lawyer.
