A cousin died and we're going to attend her funeral out of state this weekend, when I'm scheduled to work. Is there anything special I need to do?

I work in the meat department as a cutter and for the last three years management has been pushing me to go into management. They keep giving my name to corporate because apparently there are not enough meat managers to go around in the Kroger universe. I am very hesitant to go into management even th...

One of the new baggers , she only got 4 hours this week and everybody else , their hours just got cut in half . Well I came up the stairs and ano...

How do you deal with it? My coworker goes running to the manager for any little infraction. Even if you're not doing anything wrong, if she thinks you're doing something wrong she won't hesitate to tell on you. It's very annoying. You always have to watch yourself around her, but like I said, even if...

I have a question for you in terms of Walmart regarding what comanagers or store managers are trained in terms of having an employee call in sick. Do they typically just ingnore phone calls if you're trying to call in sick? I know a friend who is having problems right now and I know the store manager is a fo...

Well, my mom usually drives me to work, but when she got up this morning her car wouldn't start. I'm supposed to be at work at 2, but since she can't drive me as usual I have to wait for my dad to get home from work around 4:30. I called around 11 to tell them I wouldn't be able to make it in until around 5. I was sup...

So this week was my 12th straight week of working 35 or more hours. This week I was scheduled 32 hours. They needed help a couple days earlier in the week, so I willingly stayed after with the rest of the night crew, enough to where I started last night with enough hours to get over 35 for the week.. Out of no w...

I was just wondering how this worked. Are people with higher seniority than others in the same department allowed to take someone else's hours for a particular day? For example, can someone with high seniority that is working from 11:00-3:00 on Thursday take someone else's shift that is working 5:0...

Does anybody else's store round minutes up or down? My store rounds 7 minutes up or down to the hour mark. How is this legal?

I understand that to get holiday pay you must work your scheduled day before and after Christmas. Since it snowed quite a bit the day after Christmas I felt it wasn't safe to try to come in so I called off. Something like 20 people called off the front end alone. I was wondering if I would still get holiday p...

I was talking to a fellow employee today when the store manager stopped us and asked us if we knew what the 7x7 rule is. Were supposed to within 7 ft. and 7 seconds of seeing a customer, acknowledge them, make eye contact, ask if we can help and generally engage them. Well I told the manager I knew what it w...

You know the display of phones at the service desk ? Somebody stole one of the phones .... No retailer is going to display a real phone .. And if they did it surely wouldn't be on Velcro .

I just got hired. I got a letter to join the union and my stated payrate was listed on it. There is an overnight premium for working third shift. Would the rate on the paper be before or after the overnight premium? Thanks
