It has been so long since I've taken 14 days off for just my self. Generally vacations are go-go-go and super busy traveling. I haven't been able to afford a out of town vacation for several years. Each time I try to do a stay-cation work goes: Oh, so you can work.. No, that's not how those work. It's probab...

The merger did not go through as arbitrated by the federal judge in wa state. *claps hands* you stood up for the little people that make the store run instead of the corrupt ceo's that are only in it for the profit. Thank you. Many workers would be displaced, prices on groceries would go up, the new compan...

If a manager at a store calls mandatory overtime can you still go home sick and not be penalized for it? If you do go home sick do you require any documentation or anything else under that circumstance.

The two local stores near me only have one cashier on duty at 7PM and most leave around 9PM leaving self check out as the only option (which PO's customers!!) How many evening cashiers are in your store?

The store had a nice food drive last month for thanks giving and this month should be a good one as well. Lets not forget though that food donation is great but we also need to donate soap and shampoo for some of the lazy ASSociates who come smelling like sweet sweaty butt. ASSociate filth is at an all time h...

I've never worked at a store where they seem to hire in all the flakes or wierdos. The past 5 years my store has ironically hired in alcoholics into my department's lead position. I honestly have no faith left in this company.

Why on earth did kroger think having utility clerks was a good idea? The company poorly trains to begin with and then they expect people to quickly pick up jobs and we know that's not true. When we get a utility clerk they're utterly useless. We spend more time trying to show them the ropes than them actua...

Does Kroger hire help for the holiday season? I have no interest in working beyond January 1st. Also can a person request not to work with a particular category of people (known only in private with the HR person)?

Ive heard different people. Some say its Kroger night shift, some say its the actual truck driver. Im asking for like meat, produce, grocery, frozen, and dairy trucks during night shift. Who is supposed to and where are they supposed to unload it to? Like to receiving or actual take it to departme...

I understand the company rules well 20 yrs with company you learn them well. Every now and then we'll get a manager that just decides I don't like you. Then it's hell. His @$$ is headed towards a union grievance if he doesn't back off me. At this point it is very clear it's discrimination.

Many people do not realize the produce back room is a trash dumping ground where side departments come and leave their garbage by the trash door. many people are too lazy to call to get a key. Even when it's wide open they just lazily abandon it like we are responsible for it. Hell no! Our produce back roo...

I'm basically tired of not being respected and treated like dirt. he's done some things that I would consider a violation of kroger's integrity definition. I feel he's also trying to "push me out" and that in it self is illegal because we're union protected. Our managers have high turn over and he's on...

I can't bring my PURSE into the store but I CAN bring in two Kroger shopping bags with the same stuff. I would bet that most of the shoplifting is done by customers. I just transferred out of a store that was #1 in our District for shoplifting. i saw in my previous store customers roll out with a cart full of g...

I have told them several times I am going on vacation for 10 days the first week of december and going out of town. Manager is a dick and decides to schedule me on one of the days I did not input for vacation. But instead did a single day off request. Nope, calling out sick that day if manager is a dick about it....

Several years ago someone in our Local 1996n area got demoted from Regional HR to Store Manager (one month) then to what is called a "Field Position." I was told she was put in that job to see "how (she) gets along with other people." What exactly does someone in that job DO and is it considered a dead end/y...

Kroger : Stop this wall of shame for those that do not do fresh start daily. Weekly was fine but a wall of shame is disgraceful. Not everyone works 5 days a week. Many work part time or 2-4 days a week Vacations happen and you need to not get snippy with us when we take 1-3 weeks and harass us abt it when we...

It is somewhat mysterious but it seems someone brought a class action, probably in arbitration, and I got money for being denied breaks. Why deny us breaks? Company is basically a gang of criminals. I'll provide some details if you want them, but I'm mostly wondering if anyone else got money. And if y...

There's racism at Fred Meyer when an Caucasian female employee asked me "Do you eat Cats and Dogs?" No manager intervene-they're all Caucasian. And the thing is the employee asked it almost on a daily for 2 months when Trump was saying about the refugees. I'm not refugee nor an immigrant. Isn't this...

All the b.s. I've had to deal with this year in my department alone coupled with repetitive shi--ty managers. I'm just spilling the beans on how bad this location has gotten in the past couple of years. I don't care if I end up submitting a 30 page essay telling the inners of how far my store has fallen. It s...
