I could write a novel about it but I'll keep it short. I work my ass off every day for almost 2 years as a bagger. Since I started i have been asking to be moved to another department and literally everyone ignores me or they say some variation of "you don't work hard enough"(obvious bull****).
I've emailed corporate about it but they ignore me too. They say how they can't discuss careers it's for privacy yada yada..
I asked my store union person, guess what, ignored
Forgot to say, what is really ridiculous is the united states military trusts me to drive a $8,500,000 tank but kroger won't even let me put milk on a shelf. Pretty ridiculous
Find out who runs the different departments internally and ask them. Go direct to them.
My store manager said that our HR person is supposed to be posting a list of available jobs internally upstairs just before our break room.
Surprise, surprise, there's nothing there.
To be honest, if you've been bagging for two years, I would suggest getting the hell out of this company.
Courtesy clerks are the lowest on the ladder and Kroger barely pays, if at all, a living wage.
If you have been at Kroger for two years you can find something better if you can access it.
Publix, Food Depot, Ingles, that sort of thing, or possibly the private sector and a restaurant job that pays at least $8 - $10 an hour.
Which is more than you will make at Kroger.

Other companies only hire you if you are related to the managers and the department heads hate baggers for no reason .

Yes because all of those thousands of employees are related to managers.

That's interesting. Alot of companies won't hire you if a relative of yours works for the company.

I should have a specified. Small businesses usually don't hire you if they don't know you/aren't related to them. Big businesses are hard as hell to get hired at currently

That sounds about right. Before I started here, I applied (and reapplied in some cases) to many places, both big businesses (who sometimes say "oh we're not hiring, but we're interviewing"--I'm looking at you, Macy's) and small (ignored most the time). Either they have too many employees or you're overqualified, or in some cases, conflict of interest (family members). My husband can't work at the same location as I do, for example, although he would be a great help in one of those departments (besides FE).
If you want a living wage but have no college degree, you need to look for grunt work. Warehouses, factories, construction. They pay a little better because there is a certain degree of danger and the equipment can be expensive.
You need to go around and ask the managers of the departments you're interested in if they need any help and how many hours they could give. No one is going to come up to you and say, "Hey, come work in my department." Well, usually they won't. I was an exception. I was an early morning (5:00 AM) checker and one day the bakery manager asked me if I wanted to come in and fry doughnuts in the mornings. I jumped at the chance to get away from the front end. That was 20 years ago. Of course I do a lot more than make doughnuts now.
