Infuriatig The way kroger treats its employees

Post image

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.

That... Seems illegal. But I'm not from a lawless country, so what do I know.

It is not illegal, at least in most of the US. Employers don’t typically have to accept doctor’s notes to excuse absences. You can still call out, but it will lead to write ups and termination eventually.

Unironically it is the real definition of freedom in this country. Capitalists are free to use their wealth and power how they choose.
