is all this more work/less hours what they see as "progress"? I can't remember a time when we had less help. I'm just sick of it. We're supposed to be putting the customer first, yet store almost never gets conditioned, trucks are rolling into the next day, backstock only occasionally gets ran. We just can't get caught up with the amount of hours we have. Backstock carts are filled as full as they can be but we don't ever have extra time to run them. Had 20 hours scheduled today to run two trucks. Those 20 hours probably won't be enough. Sad thing is the backstock would go easily if there were hours to run it. I know what you're thinking: don't order a truck one day and spend that day running backstock...and I agree that sounds good, but what about the following day when we don't have help and the size of the truck doubles to make up for the non order day!? The people who do our orders don't pay enough attention to them. THey could easily go in and cut a ton off that we don't need, but they won't. "takes too much time" -well you're not doing anything anyway! Having to spend an eternity restacking the backstock cart so I can put new backstock on them gets old. I could go on and on and I will if anyone bites, I was just curious if things will be changing for the better or if I should seek alternate employment. Flipping burgers probably sucks, but i'm not sure if it's worth the money anymore to do what's asked of us. Screw bonus checks, just give us some ****ing hours!
Corporate is making progress in increasing the bottom line. That's the only progress happening here.
I see what you see. Shelves appear destroyed even in the early morning hours because we can't retain much beyond a partial night crew due to the poor pay and verbally abusive management. Hundreds upon hundreds of holes throughout the store - some of which could very well be filled if the overflowing, tightly-packed back stock carts were ever worked, but who's gonna work them? Good luck ever finding an empty u-boat at my store as they're always full of back stock. Trucks sit in the back grocery hall for days, sometimes, untouched and unworked because of how few people are scheduled and how the front end keeps calling for surge help. With the holidays not really that far off, it's only going to get worse. And worse.
I can't imagine how much more money the million dollar store that I am at would make if we actually had well-stocked shelves full of product for customers to buy. Kroger, though, sees more value in being cheap with the hours, it seems.

you said it friend. Oh no they might have to pay a person $80 to work an 8 hour shift, they could run a lot of BS, filling holes, leading to sales, ????, profit. But no, let's not do that! "logic"
