I just got written up by the store manager for being on my phone 😐 I was told this was a written warning and the next violation would be 60% suspension, third violation being termination. What is 60% suspension. Do they cut your hours? If so i don't think they would follow through with that as there's 5 total employees in my department including myself my manager and a brand new trainee.
I recently changed my availability due to my child starting school. I gave two weeks notice on my new availability and it’s not far off from the hours that I’m working now. On the most recent schedule, my availability isn’t being followed. I wanted to know what my options were. The union doesn’t answer the phone.
I’ve seen a lot of people posting about having their hours cut recently. I know personally at my store we run skeleton crews, and are often told we can’t afford to have more hours going to labor. But does anyone think it’s strange our CEO has made 16 Million in total compensation during 2025? That averages out to 300,000$ dollars a week.
Is it just me or does it seem like the budget could be reworked in favor of the people who actually do the work in the stores?
If you are applying to a grocery store should you still call a few days after application if it's the weekend? Or not?
Like Albertsons or tom thumb.
Any input appreciated 😵💫
Wanna make an informed decision before I purchase anything 🙏
Wanted to get some tenders for lunch, is it different by store?
At the locations I frequent the bakery associate would remove the donuts from the display, place the donuts in a 6 ct box or a 12 ct box, and then place a 99 cent label and $1.99 label on their respective boxes. The last time I purchased end-of-the-day donuts was about two weeks ago.
On my way home earlier at around 9pm I stopped by Albertsons to get some discounted donuts. I noticed the 6 ct box was priced at $3.99 and the 12 ct was $7.99. I was instantly reminded of seeing the same price on donuts a few days ago at another Albertsons I frequent, only then I wasn't going after donuts so I didn't think much of the price.
Is this a new policy? Were the two Albertsons I frequent an anomaly and they weren't supposed to mark down donuts at the end of the day? I would have asked someone but the bakery associate had either gone home or was out of sight.
Yes, I realize this is very much a first world problem. It's just something that grinds my gears. The donuts at Albertsons aren't the greatest to begin with. Couple that with being a little stale at the end of day and they just aren't worth the price they're asking. I only ever get their donuts when I am craving something sweet at night when I am heading home.
im their early morning donut baker so i feel like im really screwing them over by quitting. ive only been here for 2.5ish months and ik that looks really bad but i need to move due to an unforeseen circumstance. ive never quit a job before, ive only worked temporary contracts. who do i talk to? should i speak to the bk manager first or the store director? or both? who first? idk guys im stressed. and the manager is gonna be sooo pissed, she always takes her anger out on me and yells and is so disrespectful.
desperately in need of advice on what to do and say lol
Hi all! I have found myself in a bit of a weird situation that I cannot seem to find a good solution for. A number of weeks ago, I went on a trip to California to see some friends out of state, and while I was on this trip, myself and my friend group made a couple of grocery runs to the local Vons for food and supplies. One of my friends noticed that I typed my phone number in at the end of every purchase, and when she asked about it, I stupidly explained that my phone number is linked to my associate account and provides me with my employee discount. She seemed intrigued but almost immediately brushed it off and switched the subject.
A couple weeks after I returned home from my trip, I noticed that I was no longer receiving the free associate items that we are set to get every week. After doing a quick search on the app, I found a bunch of receipts in my purchase history that were not mine. I started panicking thinking that someone had somehow managed to hack my account, but then I remembered that my friend had asked me about my discount number, and after confronting her, she confirmed that she had been using it under the false assumption that I had given her permission.
My friend lives in a different state than I do, so I’m assuming that the two of us making separate purchases on a regular basis for a couple of weeks confused the system and that my account just needs to be reset or something. Just not sure who to call or talk to for issues like this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Hello so I’m a baker and I start at 2am helping another store out and the store is closed and there is no night manager or anyone to open the store so me and the cleaning guy have been waiting outside for an hour. Should I go home and not look back? It seems like it’s their fault I don’t want to wait and I’m not technically on the schedule to work today but I did switch days with the bakery manager for this week. I can care less about hours right now but what should I do? Would I get in trouble even though it their fault? I don’t want to wait till 6 am that’s ridiculous

A few years ago, I did a survey across various forums and reddit asking whether people would be interested in a healthcare-focused salary website. The overwhelming response was yes.
After two years of working on it alongside a full-time job (and getting married somewhere in the middle!), I'm excited to finally share it. The project started as a way to improve salary transparency for my wife, who's a pharmacist. As I worked on it, I realized that the lack of salary transparency extends far beyond pharmacy and affects many healthcare professions.
It's definitely still a work in progress, and I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback or suggestions for improvement. If you'd like to contribute, salary submissions are completely anonymous, your personally identifying information such as your name and email are never displayed.
