Associate Survey Announcement (Read this before you take it!)
Permalink   


Just a quick reminder:

 

The survey is basically used to evaluate management at your store.  

Try and answer truthfully (including what department you are in). HOWEVER, you do NOT have to answer the demographic questions, especially because those can be used to identify you. All you have to do is press the "next page" button, and leave the questions blank. 

 

So be honest with your answers (Give management the worst possible scores, we all know it's true, and be honest when they ask about the working conditions, we all know we are overworked, understaffed, and underpaid!), just don't give demographics.

Some employees under older contracts might like their pay.  Some employees might like their managers.  You say to try and answer truthfully but then advise us answer with your truth.  Because we all think like you.  If you think we all do then you just wasted your time posting because evidentely  we were going to anyway.  Because we all know it's true.  In your mind.  If we told the truth.  LOL!  Good post!

 

Have you taken the survey?  If you could you please post the answers for us so we don't accidentally get one wrong.  Thanks.

 1) Nope, sometimes the toold given are actually more of a burden than anything

2) Not really. Only if they are desperate for a job.

3) It depends on if you're in your managers favor

4) HAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAA hahahahaaaaaaaaaaa hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh, Seniority, son!

I haven't taken the survey but is one of the questions my ideas and suggestions count?  If it is, I'm going to put down a negative number.

Thanks, OP, for the heads-up.

As of yesterday, an associate manager knew nothing about survey scheduling, i.e., if/when his crew would have the chance to do the thing.  A grocery manager said, "Come early if you want to take it."

This store put up "Red, White, and Bull" posters and then did not serve food.  Now we have a Bill Breetz poster touting the survey, the survey management claims no knowledge of and maybe has no plans to implement.

Maybe our surveys will have to go on ethicspoint.com/.

While I did put my personal opinions in the original post, my biggest thing was the fact that, and I'll say it again:

 

You don't have to answer the identifying demographic questions.

 

Especially if you work in a small department, and are the only male above say, 45. Or the only girl. Or the only Asian. Or the only black female. 

 

Just skip those questions, the survey will still continue.

I wrote as much as i could (damn 500 character limit, you can tell they don't really want to hear it) about "What can Kroger do to make things better?" i said, well, the turnover is insane, instead of doing yet another hiring event, actually raise wages so we can compete with our competitors, instead of sending them all to Walmart who's starting people at $9 an hour. i don't think anyone will actually read it but i was the most negative this year than i ever have been in the 3 times i've taken this survey.

To raise wages they have to wait until the union contract expires, then they can negotiate raises for the new contract.  Our contract is 2 - 3 years.

 Which is why there is talk of going non unionized as a company.

I agree that Without rhe union we will get payed more but then again you could get fired for any reason. You're too old, get fired; You bring up some issues to.management, you're fired; you take a gnarly dump and your manager use the bathroom after you, you're fired. I know the union doesn't do much but I'd rather have union protection than no protection.

I really doubt we'd be paid more without the union. Everyone always seems to think that unions are bad, corporations would treat their employees GREAT if it wasn't for the union....

The union isn't perfect but people forget why unions were created in the first place. Corporations, given free reign, do NOT care about the feelings of an individual employee.

 That wouldn't do a bit of good if someone tried to do that to me.  I refuse to take the survey.  It doesn't do any good anyway.

What would make Krogrr a better place to work?

  • Living instead of welfare wages.
  • Adequate hours allocated for tasks: end the chronic, cruel, deliberate understaffing.
  • Associates properly considered assets, not liabilities.
  • Regard for human beings rather than meaningless metrics.
  • Abandonment of algorithms (e-schedule, for example) that don't work.

. . . the union is a[n] old idea--it's 2015 not 1950--time to move on . . .

Yes, at $7.55 an hour and unjustified beat-downs as a daily way of life, we've arrived: how could we possibly ask for more?
