Any tips on being a seafood lead?

Anonymous

I haven't had a chance to talk to anybody about this yet. I was told today that part-timers who average 25 hours/week are eligible for insirance. This sounds the same as before, but they acted as if its new. Did they shorten the waiting period or something?

Just like my subject line suggest does anybody know how to do that accurately? I've heard different things again from people at my store and I just want to verify which is correct. 1st way-You count 7 days from the date something goes out and it's that date 2nd way- Count 7 days but you subtract one, cause...

I am just wondering if other Kroger stores treat there night grocery crew like we get treated. In the union the don't seem to do anything except take our money. I have been with the company for almost a year & in that year all I have heard is how much a worthless worker I am. That no matter how much we do it...

I was pushed into hanging tags almost 4 years ago, and have been trying to get off since. I work grocery overnight and hang tags twice a week. When I managed to gain the balls to demand an answer as to why im not off tags yet, the grocery manager said it was because Im not doing a good job of hanging tags, so wh...

Guys, it's been a long time since I've posted here. Being back at Kroger as, once again, a freight boss, I figured I'd stop by again and chat with you all. I went back. I needed employment, I needed good money, and I took a job as a freight crew lead. I know what you're all thinking, and I am honestly surprise...

The front end supervisorsupervisors including the assistant customer service manager pretend like their job is so hard. Especially when it comes to giving people breaks. they're constantly scheduling cart shifts when an employee is supposed to go on their break (minors must go at a certain time....

Why is there a sense of urgency for the front end cashiers when scanning customers groceries? Why does Kroger expect and want this to happen?

Hello, I've been working in the frozen department of my store for about 5 months now. The other day I had a "meeting" with one of my managers saying that I'm too slow. I work hard, dont really talk to anyone, focus on my work. Not really sure what I'm doing wrong, but if I dont improve, they're gonna put me on...

Someone told me working here would help me get over my public speaking and social anxiety but i swear i think its made it worse. I was ok with greeting people but now that I know about secret shoppers its made it worse. Like I feel more paranoid so it actually makes me want to avoid people. It doesn't help e...

I work at Fred Meyer (my first job). Who do I give my two weeks notice to?? My department manager? HR? Also, do I just need to tell him I'll be gone after a certain date or do I need to write a letter? Thanks

So sometimes when I'm on break or I'm doing a little shopping before I go home, customers come up to me and ask for my help. I don't know of it's obvious to them if I'm off, or they choose to ignore it. I usually have my phone in my hand , and have a few items already picked out. Anyways, they'll come up to me and a...

How does it work with the union when your store closes and you bump someone out of job from another store?

Well... I enjoy overtime! On my own terms. Store manager is expecting the night crew to complete putting the trucks away and then conditioning the grocery section, before we leave. I understand this, but she is known to chant about reducing overtime. So... do we stay over or leave on time? Friday we le...

At our store there is an EXTREMELY difficult-to-understand ad (relating to the pharmacy) that airs randomly over the intercom system............I can't be sure if it is a "local' ad just for our store, or district, or it is part of the feed from the In-Store Audio Network to all Kroger stores. It is...

I only ask, but I don't know what's been in the "water" lately. But it seems at my store lately it's a battle between day shift and night shift in the bakery at times. I mean I get that the bakers are the first ones to see the dept. when they come in at midnight and will formulate their opinions about stuff. An...
