I've been getting 32 hours per week for the past couple months as part time. I was wondering if this new sk...

I work in the front end so would my employer be the floor manager, the store manager, the person who hired me, or who? Because my floor manager is holding off a promotion but I'm not sure if its up to her.

I'm a stocker on the night crew working midnights, and the new store manager wants us to use the scan guns. The manager had a big shot to come in this past week and give us a 2 hour class on CAO training. I'm okay with scanning the BOH on backstock, but I don't know about ordering the Holes, is that really t...

Is it proper or even allowed for an assistant manager to be best buds with an employee? The reason I ask is because this employee may have had influence over the manager in an incident involving a demotion.

So I just checked my hours for next week and would you believe how many I got? 9! Now I don't know how it is at other stores, but is there anything I can do about trying to get more hours? I know that I am only a minor and my hours are restricted, and when my manager explained this to me I slowly began to accept the...

There has been lots of events put into place that line up my store to close soon and I was wondering if anyone else has been through a store closing before. I'm a full time employee and also in the union as well. Any info would be great.

What exactly does the bakery coordinator do? He came to my store today and asked about a bunch of Key Retailing reports. Do these people audit KR or something?

Ever since I started at Kroger, I had to talk to the managers for just about everything when I really shouldn't have to. When I started, I had over 13 missing hours from my pay check. Took 3 weeks and THREE talks with the manager to finally get the back pay. At first I was never told or shown where the break ro...
