My girls school just closed for at least 3 weeks. My wife works at the school and is required to go to work. My supervisors response was I don't know what to tell you. Find someone to watch them or take off and loose pay. And use up you're vacation... —  read more

Does anyone know the process when they close a store? Trying to figure out if mines next😞

Kroger has no loyalty to anyone except their customers if you can't tell. So if I was you I would get out before it's too late. They allow their customers to be absolutely down right rude and disrespectful to their employees and that's okay because... —  read more 

Next round is in October '20. So get ready for it. After that they will got rid of certain department mngs. That is why they are working on paying MODs 50 cents more.

Can someone help me explain the rules?

There is a huge difference between the two, so I would really appreciate it if somebody could provide us with a clarification. I am worried enough as it is about layoffs, I really do not need to add firings to the mix as well (or I will need to up my... —  read more

Why is Kroger moving all the stockers to third shift what is the point of it there the shelves will be empty pre-prime time 6:00 with nobody to fill the shelves

I know it's probably not the best site for asking a question like this but since no other options exist, here it goes: Does Kroger Pay Well?

Do we know anything?

I see a lot of posts but the next time I get on line they are gone? What's the deal? Who has a say on what stays and what goes? I don't recall any posts inciting violence, being s-xist, etc. that would cause a moderator to take them down?

How many work at the company? What is the overall employee count at Cincinnati?

Employees such as checkers are being or have been replaced by self checkout machines.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
