My dept lead scheduled me until 9pm in my own department, but then someone above her added another hour and a half to that day for grocery.. So I'm scheduled to work until 4-9pm in my dept and then 9 to 10:30pm at night on a Weds for Grocery, when I said my availability is 9pm.
So... I'm leaving at 9pm, period. Chances of me getting fired...?
My kids are home alone after school, and I'm not staying until 10:30pm. They lucky I even stay until 9pm
If it was the weekend, then I'd consider it but they're already home alone (9yr and 14yr old)
The last city bus of the day runs at 9:11pm from my store for 75 cents, and I'm not about to take a $20 cab home.
I'm medically limited to 5am-9pm. One store manager with a history of violating people's medical accommodations kept tweaking my schedule, and it resulted in a flare up that kept me out for a few days. I had tried to keep the accommodations as a verbal agreement, but I finally made a formal request for reasonable accommodations and he backed down.

Thats not Krogers problem, I get it
Lol they lucky you stay still 9.. You're just a worthless associate kroger doesn't care and will replace you in a heartbeat. You're lucky to still even be there. Tell your kids to grow some nuts
Well, if it was written in, chances are it's not in Kronos. Have you said anything about it to anybody? Be careful becayse if you do, they'll know that you saw it. Do you know why they have you working in grocery? What department do you usually work in?

Are you fulltime? If you are, Kroger can schedule you anytime they need you. The only exception to this is if on your application to get hired you put a strict availability schedule down. They are supposed to honor that and I believe you can fight it if you did. If you are part time, they should be working with you and the schedule you can work.
I do love associates that say "They are lucky I stay till 9pm (or whatever time)", Yes we are so lucky to have you as an associate. When you were hired, you said you could work anything, then you placed 9pm because they said that would be the minimal requirement to get hired (in reality you want to work 8am-4pm). You say there are so many other "better jobs", but yet your are still here and do not leave. You voice your displeasure that another associate get the hours you would like, because you have a family and they do not (so this is justification for all your wants). You were hired to do a job and then decide your were not hired to do all the tasks outlines in the job description. Yes, please leave whenever you want and show up when its best for you.
Only a few years ago,does anyone know what would have happened with an associate as I described?

There's a girl in our deli like this. She has changed her "availability" so many times, when in reality she just wants to make her own schedule every week. She suddenly transferred to another store in our district when she got into a fight with her bf, and just a couple weeks ago, came back. The deli manager even told HR that if she was to come back she would have to stop that crap. She wasn't really a loss when we lost her in the first place. But now she's back and lo and behold she left another note saying her new availability.... 8-4 and needs every other weekend off. The deli manager basically said she can f**k right off with that availability because it wasn't even in e-sched. She was scheduled to work late tonight (the schedule was made before the note anyway) and she called off.

What??? How long have you worked for Kroger? I get you're a mom and need a baby sitter, but that' not Kroger's responsibility. You're the one that is Lucky. You're lucky you have a job that pays you to work for them, so that you can pay your bills and pay for clothes and food. I pay Uber $20 at least twice a week to go to work. Why? Because I'm glad I have a job and I want to keep it.

Its a sick society we live in where you feel like you owe a company, rather than a company owes you. I hope you value yourself more than the company does in the future.
You deserve more making someone else rich and being told. Someday you can too while you get milked blind by everyone else. Bills, taxes, that Uber, the company that won't pay you enough to get a car or even have reasonable transportation to work.
When you sign on its a contract. I will work for you. Develope skills, and make you money, in return, I eat, am clothed, have shelter, and am provided with some luxuries.
You seem to undervalue yourself and they are taking advantage of it man. I'm sorry you have that world view.
Talk to your lead or the one that makes your schedule and tell them flat out why. Make sure your availability is correct in e-sched. Youll get written up if they catch you leaving before the schedule says, whether your avaiability says so or not. If you are working with the night dry groc dept it might help to plea a bit to your night leader as well. Follow your schedule as its written until then and communicate with the comanagers or whoever is running the store if you need to leave. You could tell them you have to catch the bus and its a transportation issue.
Yall could do with like, at least one hair of compassion. Were all just humans putting too much of our livelihoods into a company that doesnt give two ****s about our problems and would spit on our corpses if we dropped dead at work. Its one thing to take advantage of the system and another entirely to have an avaiability and want to follow it like an honest person. Dont let this company suck the soul out of you.

So, I undervalue myself, because I believe 'you have to work for your money'? As for affording a car, it's not that I don't have a car and has nothing to do with Kroger. It is my own personal fear that stops me from driving. You must have the problem after all judging me without even knowing me or my personal experiences and automatically assuming I don't value myself. Thank you for your advise, though.

Speak for yourself. OP should be lucky it has a job. If it cant commit to it then maybe they should go blow people for cash. Least they can make up their own hours no problem then. Aint no one got time for compassion.

I speak for no one but me, though I guess I did make a hairy little assumption in calling us all humans. So sorry about that. I also never said they arent lucky. And no, you cant really, without any issues, make up your own hours when you blow for cash.
But if theyre a part of their union, then theyve got rights. And in extension, they may work with someone who gives a ****. If they dont.... then guess whatll happen there, bud. Theyll run em out and you all your dreams will come true.
I'm not trying to be uncompassionate, i try to meet all my associate's needs before my own when it comes to scheduling. I give myself the short end of the stick all the time.
But there's a certain point in which things just simply aren't the department head or the store's responsibility to cover. Someone wants to only work 8-4 Monday through Friday? Get an office job, don't work at Kroger.

On the other hand, if someone puts on their application that they can't work certain hours or certain days, then Kroger shouldn't hire them if they're not going to honor the terms employee's application. If someone says they can only work mornings Monday through Friday and Kroger hires them, then Kroger needs to stick to those terms.

I agree. My cake decorator was hired with availabilty restrictions and i've always made sure to honor that.
The deli person i'm talking about has changed hers from week to week, doing the opposite now of what she said she could work when hired.
