Hey all,
I quit King Soopers(Krogers Colorado brand) back in 2022 after almost 21 years. The job market is terrible and im about to be retired. Hiw bad is it these days
so like the title says, i switched bank accounts. i even went into my info and changed my direct deposit information for my new account. today is supposed to be payday but i did not receive it, so i went to look on my info and it says something about a prenote being processed? anyone know what it is, how long it will take, and when i can receive my paycheck?
edit: i checked my paystub and it says it’ll be delivered via check!
My store sucks normally and our store managers are some of the lousiest. I've been here for 5.5 years (5 in pickup, just switched to Bakery in Jan cuz I couldn't take it anymore) and no matter who's in charge, store management has always done me dirty with scheduling and vacations but this is the first time I've ever seen them CANCEL my vacation or anyone else's for that matter.
I know next week is Memorial day, but it's the week that THEY picked for me on our department's vacay schedule. I put in my requests for the days so they'd put the hours in like they want us to do all the way back in March. I get a notif from UKG this afternoon that not just one but both my vacations (The other is in September) were refused by a store manager who just transferred to this store. There was no comments or details left on the refusal citing the reason either.
Now this already made me REALLY mad but then I started thinking.
This week they had me scheduled on Saturday and I had assumed they just forgot about my vacation or they just didn't check the next week because our store management does not look ahead at ALL when they do the schedules. I told my dept manager it was fine and I'd still do that day as long as I could have the Sunday after since Pickup NEVER let me have the day after and they said that was perfectly okay. I thought it was a simple mistake, but now I'm all but convinced they just were planning on nixing my vacation anyhow and telling me "Oh you can't actually have that because of the holiday".
As of now, I'm absolutely livid. If their answer when I go in tomorrow and ask them what the heck they're doing is anything other than "Oh no we'll fix it you can have your vacation" I'm walking out of that building. I think I've had enough. Don't give me the only paid time off I have (I don't get PTO or personal holidays as a Status 4) and then tell me "ermm actually no".
My anniversary date is in 2 weeks and another company wants me now. I'm trying to figure out if I can just quit and get it paid out.
my grocery bill has basically doubled. im disabled. i cant drive to multiple stores in order to achieve what i could by simply ordering theough the kroger app. I was happy to pay the yearly fee. i absolutely loved your brand and all of the delivery options made it so simple.
i am so sad without you.
im not complaining about kroger, i love kroger, im just sad youre gone from florida.
I used to work for Kroger but I'm tryna get back in. I used to work at the store I reapplied to and got along with everyone. Now I don't think the hiring manager liked me really because I clocked her when she kept changing my schedule outside my availability when I had school. I call up there today to see if I can get into an interview and I even have a referral from someone who wants me in the position I applied for. I ask for the hiring manager and she said "well, Its holiday week and I don't really want to hire anyone but I'll look at your application next week". Idk if it's just me but that sounds wrong and I'm wondering if anyone else's store does this? It's not a high volume store either so idk
I heard yesterday that at my store, after 10 p.m., only self-checkout will be open, with no regular checkout lanes open. I don’t know why they are doing this. It’s stupid because we get people with carts full of groceries, as well as older people. One of my managers said that if customers need help, we still need to help them at the pay station. Sorry, I’m just venting right now. It’s a stupid policy they’re implementing. Are there any other stores doing this? I work at a Ralphs.
Update: i heard from store leader, its because this new bookkeeping system we are implementing, that's why we need to close the check stands after 10 pm
Anyone know where to get more of the dry erase boards that attached to our uboats, or what they're called so I can buy them myself? They had an upper pocket with a description of which aisle, and a lower pocket that originally had a card with red and green sides for worked vs unworked but then became a blank section to write in when it was last worked, and by whom.
Upper Midwest area recently got rid of them, and we really need to get them back!
From the store manager
Edit: For some extra context this was sent out by each store manager to all of its employees in district 1 of the ohio Cincinnati/Dayton division, potentially other districts as well but i can only verify my own. Im not going to give my specific store number for obvious reasons but you can find each store on google with that information. We are unionized by UFCW (already bad btw) and to my knowledge they allowed this recent change. Kroger has no accrual for sick days like some have mentioned. Those who think this is rage bait, i dont think anyone has to fake a post to make a billion dollar company look bad, they do it to themselves.
Found this treasure in my breakroom. Thought I'd share
Is this inconsistently of a schedule normal? I work over nights and l've put in for Monday Tuesdays off and was approved but never got it. These split days off are burning me out. They have me 10pm-4am but always tell me to stay until 6am. Also I got hired a month ago and the area I work in is union.
Every week my lead tells me she doesn’t have enough hours to go around, and I wind up working 24, 32 hours at best. Yet we’re hiring new employees. This week was more of the same. And then I find out she has somebody from another store coming into work 3 8 hour shifts! Do I really not get right of first refusal??
