 i think a manager ended up in the fryer and you you made a break for it. you're hiding in a cave somewhere in Kentucky right now until the heat dies down. AMIRITE?

 CLOSE! but a little over the top dramatic.  guess again

Well, good luck to you- there's plenty of life after Kroger and plenty of happier, better futures. You've come full circle from sounding like a company planted yes man in the beginning to an eyes open true realist on how Barneyland really is for large majority of folks. One thing I would hope you'd be honest enough to admit... in this modern day of electronic surveillance by employers and big govt. it's not only smart but a lot safer if you remain anonymous on here with your store/company specific remarks. The old adage "Don't Give Em A Reason!" always rings true when dealing with Kroger mgmt. whether at a co-manger level or at the CEO's executive level. They may swear your comments are welcome and no retribution would ever be handed out but anytime "dirty laundry" is hung for all to see.. even the general public- then rest assured someone at some level of mgmt. is in trouble or mad at the truth being exposed. Post all you want under whatever nickname you want but don't bring up specific store numbers, locations, mgmt. names, co-worker names, etc.  - majority of managers from store to division level even some lower level at corporate that I have worked for/with in my 30 plus years will go from Mr./Mrs. Nice Guy to Psycho, Mean-Spirited, Vengeful lunatics when provoked or embarrassed. Whichever glorified co-manager that was on their own little power trip/witch hunt that you locked horns with was waiting and watching for you to make a mistake or not answer politically/company correct on something when quizzed- that's what they live for- the boss might buy them  a cheap lunch now along with a pat on the back....

btw....

  ... who the **** wants to be the god damn moderator?

Cmon man.... spill the beans on what u did...u know suspended indefinitely just means after they go thru the motions with the union u'll be terminated! I'm thinking of the male flight steward that snapped and got on p.a. on the plane and said Adios M'fers! then hit the emergency button where the blow up ramp pops out- then he grabbed a six pack and got the f..ck outta Dodge? The coworker u described sounds like 80% of the new employees they hire at my store- they are put on a pedestal and have more rights than u while ur supposed to pamper them and do ur share and their's of the workload. Mgmt knows they hired another worthless(and sometimes toothless) turd but as long as they have a body with a pulse then they don't hafta give a true worker overtime to get the job done.

As far as a new moderator I think Mr Nocturnia has the right mindset if he can just use all the moderator powers for good not evil!!!

my sentiments exactly.  the problem is... we work at Kroger. where things are done wrong and backwards.

 As awesome of a guy Nocturnia is, a Walmart guy being mod of a Kroger forum just seems wrong, LOL

Let me ask you this Dude, do you have good things in your file?

 I have tons of good things in my life.  That's what life is about, isn't it?  Working at Kroger really isn't on the list.  Sure is comes with a pay check and some good work friends but I have a lot more going on outside of the Kroger walls

oh wait... I misread that.  u said file but somehow my brain read life. haa haaa

I'm off to watch several more episodes of WEEDS now....

oh hey thanks there Bag Boy.  I appreciate the recommendations.  My cat and dog are aliens so yea that would be good.  You ever look real close at a cats face? scary!  So look ... your in the running for this gig.  So I suppose we should start with the 146 question application.

Q #1 - Do you like your coffee black or with sugar and cream?

hmmm... yea I like kayaking.  did it once or twice when the city flooded and the main drag was a rushing river.  Thanks! I'll keep it in mind.  I might be driving down route 666 real soon (yea I know, not route 66 but actually 666 - way more scenic) and all the sudden there is a white water kayaking spot.

Coffee is best served in Monster form, but if i had to pick between black and other... I'd pick "with a little bit of milk". :P

So this was all over a couple of scraps on the floor? Instead of u taking the high road u join in the moronic drama that some of the lower life forms live for? Disappointed that u would snap at something so trivial.... and then now ur going to go thru the never ending process of arbitration to hopefully get ur job back in the same situation u went off on? C'mon Man! My biggest challenge nowadays is coddling and accepting the entry level folks and their basic lack of common sense, cleanliness, and personal responsibility. Ur favorite comanager that u obviously had previous issues with gets the thrill of suspending u and the bragging rights of getting u to take the bait. You are way too easy! I'm betting there's a couple sloppy. messy elves at the North Pole also so u might as well expect conflict there too- guess who's side Santa Clause will take? Dude you really didn't get ur money's worth on this not so "epic" event!

 yea what you said is exactly point blank right. you nail it on the head with every word, sentence and letter on this post.  I snapped. Glad I did.  Where doors close, others open.  I'm disappointed too. That I snapped.  But disappointment can come at every corner. Like wasting a good 5 years working at a stinking Kroger deli (sorry to all you people who have done this too). But as for going thru the arbitration process, that has yet to be decided. And if I do, my main goal is to merely "make me whole" on a situation that is totally blown way out of proportion.  You. Can't. Let. People. Make. Far. Fetched. Accusations. About. You. And. Let. Them. Get. Away. With. It. There's a huge possibility that I will not succeed (especially now since I'm ranting about it on here for the whole damn world to see).  But the goal here is to mitigate the situation. I'm doing it for you and for her and for them. It's bull**** what is happening and just plain wrong.  And maybe just maybe if I do get my job back, I will drive back down from Santa's Village and put on the Kroger blue one day and walk back in to work only to say F*ck you all. So as for not getting my money's worth.... the event just might not be over yet.  Stay tuned.
