If you were hired part-time and only work 24 hours a week, how can they cut your hours? I have opted to be cross-trained from DELI to BAKERY as a part-time cake decorator. Considering there is no KEY-RETAIL in Bakery, my manager is given very few hours to deal out. So I do one or two days there or visa-versa...

This may be the first and only time I will ever say this, but I think there may be something to Quevision that maybe we didn't see.

OMG! The going-ons at store 408 are incredible! Unefenbelievable! And it only gets worse with the new managaer who can't see his a** from a hole in the ground. He locks himself in his office barking orders. Won't give you the time of day. Wait! there's more.

It has occured to me on more than one occasion, that the union associates are missing an opportunity that could put Kroger in their place about ELMS. You know how they always say, you get x number of hours for sales, or tonnage or whatever. Well guess what, has anyone asked them to PROVE it?? I guarante...

If management is working fewer people than alotted hours for bonuses, then why can't the attitude of tired and stress workers reflect their bonus, I am sure customers do not like confronting with disgruntal workers.

So I heard this story that one time a third shifter came in for his shift one night and was all mad about something and was yelling at the manager and was pissed the whole night about something. The other workers just let him be the whole night. The mad guy was in charge of stocking all the canned goods and ju...
