Our hr rep will leave mid shift (approved) for a dr appt and come back several hrs later to finish her work shift. I thought split shifts were not allowed. Due to anything being in the middle being considered over time. She's been doing this for years and no one has called her out on this. It started out onc...

I've been baking at my store for a few weeks. A channel cart holds either 12 or 15 trays. At the very least I have one cart of rolls, one cart of bagels, one cart of Italian bread, one cart of breakfast pastries, one cart of artisan bread, and one cart of primetime French bread. I also have to slice the art...

2 months ago a much older co-worker put his hands on me back in the meat cooler. He came up from behind me, while i was bent over, and grabs me by my hips and squeezed. I scream....he laughs! "Whys your face so red"? I tell management. Store manager pulls this guy into office (two weeks later) and gives him a...

Dear kroger: do you really think people want to stay if you remove "livable paychecks"? Company roll outs are always messes and it'll take you month to get it rolling smoothly. Just requesting one day off penalizes staff in their hours and tha'ts wrong. Sorry kroger but I'm going back to temping work t...

Only scheduled for 11 days out of each month. Fine, Kroger can keep it's hours. They'll never be able to find a better employee. Since Kroger forgot to put me in the schedule for for 3 weeks, on the fourth week, I was given 20 hours but I declined. No schedule, no loyalty.

Careful with over requesting days off with the new my time unless you want to screw over your hrs. I am accustomed to request 1-2 days a week off and I'm glad I only do 1-2 months at a time. I think I screwed over my hours with the new my time schedule. I am warning fellow staff to only request off what you need o...

I got this job as a cashier in july. I asked for the transfer back in mid august and they said it would take a month. It was november when I got...

Given this company 2 decades of my life and for what? Nothing. Just a pay-check-to-paycheck job. No good deed goes unpunished with this company. Lack of promotional advancement. Schedule requests are now all of a sudden null-and-void and not even a suggestion. Moral is so low in this company it has h...

In March our hr rep requested me (singled out) to collect paper work or get dr notes for excusal on uniform requirements. Turns out she was singling me out. I spent a month headachingly tracking down/getting this paper work only to find out they didn't want any of it. Okay, so you're an a$$ to me about thi...

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...

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."

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)
