full timers that don't have to work 40 hours?
Permalink   


There is an employee at my store that

.Is full time but only works 4 days per week

.Works as the frozen lead but is not the lead "on paper"

.Gets to work 9-5 instead of 2-10

The grocery crew is short handed but on the nights the guy is off management wants someone from dry grocery sent over to frozen and that means only 2 people (including the grocery manager) are supposed to throw the truck and condition the aisles.

I feel the answer is going to be along the lines of "what else did you expect at Kroger" but is this something that should really be happening? Is it not possible to go over store managements heads and do anything?

What business is it of yours?  Perhaps you don't know the whole story.

really? you couldn't guess from the post that I work on the shorthanded crew and have to do twice the work on the nights the guy is off? I am not willing to allow some guy to be lazy and as a result cause me to do twice the amount of work. I do know the whole story and he just wants to work only 4 days per week.

Then if he has seniority and has his availability you can complain all you want. As long as hes working when hes supposed to theyll consider your complaints invalid.

Now if he doesn't have seniority and he's just screwing around instead of working, then you have a valid complaint.

Well it's not about seniority because if the grocery manager schedules him when needed the ops manager just takes him off the schedule. In other words the department leader wants to schedule him as needed but ops manager just rewrites the schedule to take him off.

Have you ever thought that he might be working in another department or at another store?  If he hadn't been working a total of 40 hours, he would have eventually lost his full time status.

  • Maintaining full-time status takes just 32 hours a week under at least one contract.
  • If an associate is functioning as a lead but without the proper pay, he is being cheated.
  • How is the functionality of a shift or store the responsibility of any one non-management associate?  If this guy goes on a leave of absence, transfers, or dies, will it still be his fault?  It's on management to schedule adequately to meet the needs of the business.

Sounds like it's not worth following up on.

Working here, four tens is a super weird thing.  If anything, that's specifically not a Kroger thing.

Either he's an absolute boss with old school cool, or he's got some dirt and is taking advantage of it.

Neither is something you can (or should) do something about.

I'd say to let it go and try not to attract heat.
