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 t...

Don't lie to your coworkers and tell them dribble like this. A coworker several years ago told me this and when I contacted the union (at the time) they told me she was wrong.

Sorry kroger but I can't stand this company any more and I was willing to work another 15 yrs until retierment. No. With lack of communication between stores and within the store and unable to maintain a healthy employee moral I'm just done. Done, done, done. This has become more of a dead end go no where...

Kroger changes our method of clocking in today but does not bother to let employees know which this change they added a new restriction to dailypay requiring you to work 22 hours each week before allowing you to instantly transfer your earned shifts resulting in being forced to wait a day or two for...

An employee just up and goes back to their home country and last minute enacted fmla. We still need to be respectful because of the situation. They quoted "No eta of return." Company policy gives 3 days for local and a week for non-local. How do we address managment to get us a filler until they return? Ou...

I've been with other companies that have used my time and it does not give employees livable paychecks. It is not the best system to write schedules. This system just reduced employee hours about 20%. Good lord one restriction severely penalizes your hours. Only request days off you truly need unles...

My store had a shake up and multiple people requiring on slipping through the cracks to survive are no longer with the company. We've lost about 6 people since we got a new manager about 8 months ago(Nov 23). Troubled employees are gone. Those requiring slipping through management turn over are gone....

I've lost track of how many store managers I've worked along side with at my current location. We've probably had 10+ in a six year time frame. Staff is less than pleased with where the store is going and quitting or transferring out. I'm enacting my back up plan. I've given this company almost two decad...

Should the baker be able to bake all the bread, make the donuts, bag all the bread, put away the frozen food order, and do the breakout for the next day all in 7 1/2 hours? ( that's an 8-hour shift minus two 15-minute breaks)

Our department already short on staff... Our lead was forced on fmla for 12 weeks. Highly doubtful he will return upon completion. So, until then we get to be short staffed running on coal fumes and have to wait for corporate to decide if he will be able to return to work or not. So for the next 2 friggen mon...

My son who is 16 has no idea what he was doing and opted into the union.

Is an employee required to stay at the store during an unpaid lunch break? (clocked out)

How much is too much? Coworker requests shift swap every week. Generally I don't mind if the individual is reliable as I've been on the short end of the stick a few times. I don't mind to a degree. I have a few coworkers that want to change shifts almost every week. If they are reliable and I am not doing anyt...

Our store recently had a cleaning of employees with shaky work histories. Several of with I've worked along side with 8+ years. These people did their job duties very well and they eventually got them on some sort of technicality. Just because you're in the union does not mean you're 100% safe. It just...

Hi Everyone, Anyone here work for Kroger back in the 1991 - 1993 timeframe? If so, do you remember listening to P.O.P. Radio/In-Store Broadcasting Network? What did you think of it?
