Co-manager walks about store talking on cell phone at 922
Permalink   


I've reported a store manager on Kroger's facebook page and through ethics point and we've had about enough of this one.  Should I report her, ask our store manager to have a talk with her or just email our district/zone management?

I wouldn't have used Kroger's fb page. (Not unless you used a "dummy account" that they cannot link back to you) the reason being is that if she's on fb and 'likes' Kroger's page she can find you and make life hell in retaliation. Seen it happen before. Your best bet is to make an annonomus call to the ethics hotline or the appropriate number and go from there

First off, did you even know what those calls were about?

 

My manager can be seen on his phone quite often, but all of it is from district, region, corporate crap. One time the person on the other end was chewing him out so loudly that we can actually pick up on what the conversation was about (and how I found out about our rat problem here).

 

Of course, he still makes sure to put the conversation on hold if he needs to help a customer and what not.

 Still, he/she doesn't need to be on the floor talking on their cellphone. I sure as **** can't do it. Why should they? They have an office for a reason.

 We aren't allowed to be on our phones but they most certainly are. It may not seem fair,  but those are the rules.

In fact, their personal cell phones are considered a primary way to contact them.

 yet, they never answer when we call them as-well-as my personal cellphone is MY primary means of contact.

 No, when you're on the clock, your primary means of contact is through the store telephones. If you have any contact with anyone on your cell while working, you're breaking the rules.

Managers have multiple means of contact, including email, store phones, and personal phones.

I get that but let's be honest, we all know plenty of people who will not answer if the store # is the caller ID.  Also some are more readily available via text message.  My dept's survived on texting.  We have a co-manager who is very precise in that he'll duck off the floor to text if needed.  The calculators and adding machines we have to do our office stuff are atrocious.  I'm always pulling out my cell for that.

 Well I get that too but I was really arguing what the rules were, not what is actually practical. I've pulled my phone out on the register more than once if I needed a calculator.

 THE STORE PHONE!?!?!?!?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! let me take a breathe here. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

by the time someone gets to answering the phone your mother/father/sister/brother/dog/house/wife/grandma/ect will, probably, already be dead.

The store phone, ha, that was a good laugh.
