What is going on with Kroger Health Insurance? I've been an hourly employee for 4 years and well over 40 hours a week (Status 1) and now they tell me I CANNOT put my wife on my health insurance. HR told me that they no longer will carry a spouse on health insurance unless they are TRANSGENDERED! HR also s...

I've been working here 3 months and as a cashier I constantly bend to get drinks from baskets. I'm 18 but my back hurts like hell once I leave work. If I need medical attention at some point will they cover it if I'm just 18.

Four months ago we got a new store manager who came in like a ball of fire. My dept. manager stepped down and transferred because of it. He told me I needed to find a transfer (which I did but the new SM won't approve it), I talked to a merchandising rep who said yeah get used to it you're not going to li...

I have been a conditioner at Kroger for a couple of years now. This was supposed to be a temporary second job for various reasons and I won't be doing this much longer, but the parade of stupidity I have seen is worthy of a finely crafted novel. Kroger will hire any functioning retard that passes a drug tes...

I asked the union rep today if the union could make Kroger give us more help and she said no. I do not understand the union at times. My store is a marketplace and we have a skeletal crew to work that store. It is not working with not enough help. The union rep said that Kroger is telling the union that it is n...

Do they ever help your dept with the monotonous tasks or are they off doing their own thing? Do the head/backup work side by side every day or do they understand that sometimes you have to do what needs to be done to make the store look good? Does it take both to do the schedule? At our store it does. 2 peo...

all this bare bones and "work more" stuff got me wondering what it would cost the company to pay out workers comp claims on employee(s) vs just hiring people and giving more hours. Add 40 hours to a dept's schedule can't cost more than someone working too hard and getting hurt (time off/replacing inju...

Everyone just shows up whenever (between 11pm and 2am) and just works the truck until their assigned aisles are done. Doesn't matter if you're schedule 7hrs, 4hrs, or 8hrs, if it takes you 10 hrs you stay 10 hrs.

I don't know what right they THINK they have to screw up my set availability but they did it. They keep switching things around. I have my availability set for a reason, that's beneficial to me. I keep switching it back over and over, they keep re-doing it over and over. I try talking to them and they say th...

I'm trying to keep myself calm but the more I think about what I'm about to type, the higher I can feel my blood pressure rising. I joined the Union back in March 2014. I was 20 at the time & I remember a Union rep. with a clipboard walking all around the store like a f***** Nazi trying to recruit new membe...

Anyone on here work in South Carolina East Georgia area? Most stores in East Georgia and Coastal South Carolina were closed. How is it now? I am sure they are open up now. They acted like it really hurt them to close. But when people are told to evacuate they know they have to unless they want to be stuck in s...

They recently moved me to another store as a promotion, and now my home store is severely understaffed (what a surprise) and they called me in to help today. I did go in to help but how sad is this company that they are willing to pay me sixth day pay, overtime (i'm not sure if i'm going to get manager rate for...

I'm still on the less-than-stellar hours. How long does it take for the change I made on not-so-great people to go through? I checked and it still says "pending".

Today I was looking at my employee file, shredding old paperwork we don't need. (Cabinet left open for me to clear out old papers.) I found all my past write ups both store copies and "employer copies" plus one from six months ago today. Into the shredder they went. Now it's like I have had no write ups wha...
