In grocery, we're obviously not running backstock "every day before you run the truck" as they told us when they rolled out the orderrevolution. Never has that actually happened. Trucks get bigger occasionally and there are fewer workers so we have to steal from other tasks to get the trucks ran (c...

(being rude without straight out tellin' it how it is). Not exactly being rude, but I remember early on in my "career" I had a nametag made that had a ebonics type name on it (nothing offensive). I was in a hurry and accidentally grabbed that nametag one day and be damned if the Zone MGR came in (I didn't...

Hello all! i have been with the company going on 15 years now. A month ago, I went on short term disability due to having surgery. I still have another month I will be out or so. In that time frame I have found another job opportunity. This company has been nothing but good to me (for the most part) but I am rea...

Anyone else dislike them? For one thing I'm always having to look at a calendar to see what week (nearly 3 weeks out) I need to request days off for.

I started working at Kroger a couple of months ago and I was originally hired to work in the deli. However, when I was doing my new hire paperwork, the HR manager told me she wanted me to be a courtesy clerk instead and then do cashier training, which I did. I've always been on the front end and never worked a...

I'm no longer seeing a section under the Personal Profile link on ExpressHR for vacation time, personal days, sick days (not that I get those, lol) etc... Is it gone for everyone else, too? It's not that big of a deal, because I know what I have left for the remainder of the year, but when it all resets in th...

I was trying to figure out how long you have to work to get an hour lunch. I've had to work several seven-eight hour shifts. I was thinking it's eight full hours of work, not counting lunch to get an hour.

Every now and then, I see a dog locked in a car and they look like they're in distress. Should I just break the windows to save the dog?

I put in for my vacation a month ago and it got approved. Well now I find out I was bumped by a co- worker with more seniority. I already paid for my reservations and plane tickets. I WILL be going on this vacation, bumping or not. Now in case they TRY to terminate me, do I need my union just in case?

Just curious about how I would go about getting PIT (Powered Industrial Truck) certified so I can actually stack pallets properly in back without hurting myself if I should do something wrong (which is usually never, but better safe then sorry.)

Ok here is the deal... Back when I was only 3 months pregnant (beginning of 2nd trimester) I was told by my dept head that he talked to the store manager, without me present, and he told him to let me go out his dept. First, I admit with this being my first pregnancy, I honestly don't know what trials I'll be g...
