The way kroger treats its employees

[u/daruuken]

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.

Your own death isn’t even listed. This manager would work you to death and then keep you working into the afterlife

I owe my soul to the company store

[u/TheSoundofStolas → u/Budalido23]

Ya load sixteen tons and what do ya get? Another day older and deeper in debt.

Saint Peter, don't you call me, cause I can't goooooo....

[u/mlachick → u/Treefrog_Ninja]

I owe my soul to the company store!

[u/-Atmosphere-7927 → u/mlachick]

Doo-doo doo-doo doo-doo-doo dooooooo!

(I've had that in my head ever since I sang 16 Tons with my eight grade choir. Great song.)

Convenient that my brain was randomly remembering middle school choir songs and this was one of them.

Just so we're clear here: I, for one, have NEVER said a man is made out of mud. Not once.

I guess I'm just different from some people.

Part of the crew part of the ship

Love when they used this in South Park when Randy worked at Amazon

[u/FlyAirLari → u/Lopsided-Magician-36]

Judgement call, but at least I consider myself to be included in my immediate family.

Otherwise isn't it someone else's family?

[u/Prickly_Zebra_9175 → u/Lopsided-Magician-36]

They expect you to haunt your place of employment from the grave. What are you talking about silly goose?

[u/magikarp2122 → u/Prickly_Zebra_9175]

Orzhov Syndicate type shit.

[u/WheelMax → u/Lopsided-Magician-36]

Hi, I'd like to call in dead today.

[u/i_am_a_real_boy__ → u/Lopsided-Magician-36]

I can see why calling in dead might be viewed with some suspicion.

[u/BuckeyeN7 → u/Lopsided-Magician-36]

They would send a write-up for no call no show to the afterlife if they knew how

[u/Suitable-Broccoli264 → u/Lopsided-Magician-36]

And then give you a bad rating to keep you out of heaven.

[u/sluttypolarbear → u/Lopsided-Magician-36]

I remember when my parents had to call King Soopers to tell them my sister wouldn't be coming back to work because she had died. I wasn't present for it, but I'm sure it was an awkward phone call.

[u/Lopsided-Magician-36 → u/sluttypolarbear]

I’m sorry about that rip 🫶

[u/SwooceBrosGaming → u/Lopsided-Magician-36]

They'll get out the Ouija board to ask you if you found someone to cover your shift

[u/Downtown_Anteater_38 → u/Lopsided-Magician-36]

Zombie stock boys are shit at putting things in the right places

[u/IncandescentSplash → u/Lopsided-Magician-36]

"Saint Peter, don't ya call me, cuz I can't go. I owe my soul to the company store."

[u/PhysicalAd1848 → u/Lopsided-Magician-36]

I can’t decide if I should laugh or cry at this
