So they have a temporary contract ready and union members will be voting this week. It includes our meat cutter union as well. No terms have been leaked and the union reps are keeping lips sealed. Managment is encouraging everyone to attend the meetings. We will see if it's worthwhile.

could be anything, favoritism, worthless employees who get preferencial shifts, lousy manager(s)/department heads not pulling their weight. posting as anonymous is probably the best bet here. GO!

**** YOU AND YOUR DUMB ASS MANAGERS

as you know this company will hire just about anyone, including those with less than enough ability to do even the simplist of jobs. Well we have several, but recently one made me chuckle a bit. He's a nice guy, but I guess not the best worker because he pissed off one of my co-workers pretty bad here rec...

In our company (obviously Kroger ha), they act like there is no favoritism or that they don't prefer certain people over some. But I'm sorry- I think this is ridiculous. I'm not trying to slander any of my coworkers, i simply want you all to know that the problem of favoritism and shrugging off requests...

Our scan rate is down so we no longer have bagwells on the casher's side of the counter. The problem; when we dont have a bagger, we must step over to the end of the counter to bag the customers goods. We get blocked in by the customers in the lane behind us. I think this is nothing but a stupid attempt to fix a s...

i cannot remember where i saw this, but i know i read somewhere that some stores have greeters. How would a person go about applying for this position? would their pay/benefits be the same as a regular employee (non-bagger) or do the hours come from the front end/baggers?

Hey, the associate survey is coming out Monday, the 30th! Isn't that great? It will be my way of telling Division Management just how inclusive, respectful, and how GREAT they truly are! And in doing so, they will get a bigger bonus! Hooray for Management!

without giving names or store numbers or divisions, can we have a thread that just describes some of the stories involving security at your store? it can be a funny incedent or maybe an heroic act.

Is there any place I can get the book online? I believe I was wrongfully terminated by the HR manager because I was getting close to retirement after 15 years with the company and called and asked about it but the HR manager is refusing to send me a copy.

The lead position in my department has come open and my store manager has a habit of bending the protocol a bit and handing out positions in house instead of posting them area/zone(?) wide like they're supposed to.
