Employees such as checkers are being or have been replaced by self checkout machines. Strange & unhappy shift from customer perspective. A downer.

When does it begin?

It's really, really clear Kroger has been and continues to target experienced employees. In many states this could be actionable under anti-age discrimination statutes, but what my pharmacist partner observed is that the DM was smart enough to never... —  read more 

It seems the theme in many large corporation layoffs. Older, more experienced employees are targeted so cheaper new hires can take their place. This saves money in the short run, but it quite possibly can be the companies ultimate downfall as in... —  read more

This is not a company that cares or values their employees, the people on the front lines making them their 121 billion. It's about their shareholders, failing business deals and being on top. All the talented a nd well seasoned employees will leave... —  read more 

My guess is another layoff will be the death nail. Workers are already looking to find work elsewhere while at kroger - another massive layoff will send the message to whoever they keep who were on the fence about their job security off of it and... —  read more 

Coming from the other side of the layoff. I just want to say the grass is greener. I know a lot of store managers like me that have dedicated their lives, moved their families to other towns or states, worked 12 to 16 hours all the time, usually 6 or... —  read more 

I'm getting really tired of all the uncertainty and stress that comes with it. Why not have all the layoffs at once? Why keep us waiting, thinking there could be more coming at any time? What's the point?

if you made it through the first round of firings, this is NO guarantee you will make it with this company. It's a company that can't be trusted in any way. They can just as easily change their minds or receive commands from great leader that more... —  read more 

I hear from several sources both at the regional office as well as various levels of tenured store management that there will be another larger lay-off in January for store management. Has anyone else heard this? I’ve heard 160-180 managers will be... —  read more

I was in the know at GO until I retired. Cuts are coming at GO in 2020. 15% of the workforce. As I remember folks that got less than an average on their reviews will be looked at being eliminated. Posted in another thread by @125SfW6V-2obr, bumped... —  read more 

Has anyone heard if these jobs are safe? I would think they are since it is the waive of the future. But who knows?!

Have you heard anything about potential Kroger Layoffs 2020? Any news or rumors?

Due to Kroger laying off valuable managers , I do not shop there, the company does not value their employees.

I worked for Kroger for three years and truly felt the corporation viewed employees as SLAVES and not in any way assets. From scheduling, which is atrocious and shows a lack of regard for employee well being or personal lives, to not listening to any... —  read more 

I didn't think that would make it into the rebranding logo! Lol

What do you think? Kroger is set to reveal a new logo on Wednesday... Here is the memo... With 135 years in the food industry, Kroger knows food. But both consumer demands and the competitive landscape have changed. We're transforming our... —  read more 

Tell me why those at GO are able to have "flex" schedules, work from home, etc. but the Division peeps are not allowed? That's BS.

They are laying off the local grocery warehouse drivers this week. They contracted the deliveries to a cheap carrier. About 30 people. The contractor offered the drivers jobs for 1/2 their current rate. Expect it to hit every division once other... —  read more 

15% cut is not enough cuts up there in GO, cut all these folks from “key retailing” that travel all over the country doing audits but have very little clue of what reality is like in the real world. They cost us $9,000 just on expenses. Hotels... —  read more

What are the odds of Rodney getting a visit from Cousin Eddie on Christmas Eve?

I've read many comments on here, but none seem to touch on the reason it all started. I work for Kroger myself, but I also own 2 small business, and see what many cannot. A lot of you understand, or are at least aware of, something called 'versus... —  read more
