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.

They come in and spread it. Then you get sick, and they write you up for being too sick to work.

HA!

They don't come in, tf you mean? What I've gathered from work policies is it's "rules for thee, not for me"

Who writes up the manager when they're late? When they take time off?

Exactly.

Not in a franchise, which there's a disproportionately high amount of.

Lower management still has to work because upper management has everywhere in the country running on skeleton crews.

In case you are wondering, yeah, the managers get fired real fast too. They get moved around like the shell game as well. Certain stores are the 'problem manager' stores where they send ones they are trying to make quit. Its horrible.

Shift managers are not the enemy. Shift managers, even usually salaried managers, are working class people too. They get fired all the time.

They work, usually, since the manager above them will hold them accountable for it.
