In my short time working at Kroger i have seen the head person of grocery leave and another move in, two or three people that did work in diary...gone, the lead in diary moved and supposedly there bringing someone to take that spot. Several of the people that went to training that worked at the same store as i did several of them are gone. This type of stuff made me realize fast to do what i can and leave the rest be. Just too much chaos and people not knowing what they are doing.
In the time I've been on this forum, it has amazed me how incredibly fast the turn over rate for both hourly and salaried management. NO WAY I'd wanna take that on! Kroger is apparently beset with more administrative problems than Nixon's Watergate scandal.
Since i have been working there i cant recall how many times I have been asked to do this and somewhat quicky been shown what to do or in some cases not told at all which i end up winging it. From what i have seen it seems the "right hand doesnt know what the left hand is doing." We had one person in dairy just leave not looking after he moved from produce. I do my shift to earn my pay but the rest is just chaos and drama.
some of the revolving door makes sense, especially up front which often gets students.
unfortunately you still need a certain institutional knowledge up front every shift. you can't go without someone who can handle supervisor tasks even if it's just your service desk person winging it or if you have someone at self-checkout who can do it. it's hard to be the only person with an override and lane after lane of cashiers fresh from training.
we're in a bit of a crisis now and people who have moved up and were candidates for service desk or floor training have left.
others just looked at the drama and said, there's no extra pay? thanks but no thanks.
I'm still having the hardest time understanding the mentality of unions in other states when it comes to front-end desk positions. Here, the CSM gets paid $15.50, and ACSMs get paid $14.50.
How is it I'm seeing on these boards about people in these positions still earning only or near minimum wage? Shouldn't these people be outraged? Why not take the union wage listing of other states then show it and complain to the local?
