Why does kroger always wait until staffing is a catastrophe before doing anything?

Why does kroger always wait until staffing is a catastrophe before doing anything?  Many stores are short staffed and it's like a few years ago when no one wanted to work and staff needed days off. No help to schedule so departments went unmanned. One call out and no one works for the day. Kroger wake up to reality and fix your company. Stop living in this fantasy land called office. Staff might stay if you give livable wages. Stop making it so the only people you can get are flakiest of society, people that need income that are not the best workers, people with records, high schoolers that are horrible workers at best.... Come on kroger bs like this is why you're loosing staff. I was going to retire with this company but now I'm having second thoughts.

 Me too.  I've got 6 years to go before I can go on Medicare.  The biggest problem is all the micromanaging.  Also, the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.  We probably waste 2 to 3 hours every day doing counts and scans.  We shouldn't have to do that every day.  We should be able to count stuff once and the Zebra should be able to figure out how much to put out based on what gets scanned at the checklanes and what gets marked down and scanned out.  Kroger can't seem to figure that out.  Also, speaking of left hand versus right hand, the Zebra might tell us to put out 6 of something, but the district manager will say there should be no more 2 out on the table.  So we get out 6 , put out 2 on the sales table, and the remaining 4 go out of date.  I guess they expect us to watch the tables constantly and when somebody takes something, run out there and replace it.

Because kroger higher ups knows you clowns dont work. All of you just stand around on the phone talking texting and watching videos. They are not gonna pay you just so you **** off for how ever many hours. Either stop being a lazy sub human scum, actually do some work or just quit. Laughable at this associate entitlement

Actually, Kroger does want us watching videos and doing stuff on our phones. It's called Fresh Start. Then there's Fresh Production, Daily Count, Backroom Count etc. Kroger has us spending almost as much time counting and scanning stuff as we do actually putting the stuff on the shelves. And it doesn't make the job one bit easier. In the bakery department we have well over 300 different items that have to be scanned every day. You have to scan the item and put in how many you have. When you get through, the Zebra device (it's actually and Android phone) tells you how many of each item to put out or make. You are then suppose to put in how many you actually made or put out. It keeps score on how accurate you are and you have to get 85% or higher.

They need visuals including long list of all different customer's complaints added with district employees coming in to see what's going on.

-Could be just the location...

---Sending you positive vibes. 

My store is cutting hours.

Best answer I can give: They dont like spending money on preventative maintenance. So long as the money keeps coming in, we could be making do with paper cups and string.

Thank you. I would find bakery very punishing, but that is how things are. When things are working. 

As for Kroger generally, friends take the hint. This company is not a winner and you don't belong there. 

If someone gets hurt the company feels like it is accomplishing something. Not the kind of organization to be part of.
