They keep telling me I have to do all these training modules. So far it's eleven. I've heard other employees talk about how they have to take training on stuff that has nothing to do with their job. My job takes me a full eight hours to do and no one else in the department is going to do it for me. If I don't do it, then the following day I have to finish the work from yesterday before starting on today's work. I'm not staying over to get my work done just because I had to waste an hour or more on the computer doing something completely useless. If they want me to complete all those training modules, they are going to have schedule me a day to do them, and it's not going to be one of my off days either, which is what one person suggested. I've been with Kroger for 35 years and I'm seven years from full retirement and I like what I do, but the changes they've made in the past few years make me seriously think about leaving. I think it all started when they changed their goal from selling groceries to feeding the human spirit. I mean what kind of woke minded garbage is that?
I'm on night crew, and every now and then they'll try to bring it up and we do a few, but generally we ignore the training on the Zebra and no one comes after us as a result. It's been at least a couple months since I've done one. Even then, I don't read the questions, pick the first answer in the multiple choice, inevitably fail the whole thing, and then go back to my job after one test. I don't care if I end up with the worst scores in the store.
The zebra can be useful, but the endless modules tend to not be. I think this results from a combination of wanting us hopelessly busy at all times and a desire to make us be trained to do every task in every department. Something else to watch out for is the built-in temptation to use your personal devices to do the zebra syit off the clock while your poor phone is being hacked, you are being spied on, etc. Fock all of that.
I get tired of the gay BS that precedes it-I just hit x to pass on them
I've always seen an option in the menu beforehand saying something like, "I'm short on time, let's skip to the test." Select that and bs your way through.
