Ive been with Kroger for over a year and a half, and I am finishing up my junior year of college. (Well, trying to, Kroger is making it difficult to get good grades and pass).
I have a week of vacation and 2 personal days left...since the summer is starting, would it be frowned upon for me to work through the summer, then take my vacation and personal days once the semester starts again, then quit once those are gone? That way I get paid for them.
I've tried working at Kroger and studying to get good grades, but seriously, it is almost impossible. Working 8 hours a day on the weekends, (2 to 10), basically takes up the entire day, leaving zero time to study and sleep. And I need to study... Calculus 2 and 3, Linear Algebra, Chemistry, Computer Architecture, Data Communication, Software Engineering... those take some serious work. And the measly pay at Kroger isn't worth not doing my best in school.
So if I take those vacation and personal days then quit, will Kroger be mad at me/give me a bad reference for any future jobs?
Really depends on your management. If you think you're in good with them, then explain your situation honestly now so there will be no last minute surprises and I'm sure they won't have a problem with it.
