Kroger-qfc-albertsons-safeway merge buy out - several salaried individuals and workers did not receive pay.

This did not affect me but apparently all the salaried managers lost their pay this week due to the merge. Some hourly associates got affected by it as well. 

This is a huge grocery store merge. People have yet to realize the velocity of this merge. It's huge and creates a monopoly to a degree. 

The only benefit of this in the long run is associates can now s tore hop between companies when they want to transfer around. We are no longer just limited to one side or the other. 

Why on earth did kroger roll out the new payroll my time system on the same frig--gen month? 

Do keep in mind most stores won't see changes until about 2024 (2 yrs out).

A few years ago a bunch of gangsters decided to move in on the grocery business cause "people gotta eat". The ongoing effort to create a monopoly, or an island of suffering in a vast food desert, will continue until enough people let the real government know that votes depend on change. Ugly system changes are just random extra work to fork with and control us.

The grocery market is segmented, the typical grocery store is now one part of the overall food industry. While its a jarring merger, its only an issue where stores overlap. If the combination is such a monopoly why haven't Walmart or Amazon been broken apart?

We'll just have to see what happens...Congress can still override this...It could work, but all the kinks need to be ironed out...
