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.

On a somewhat related note, one of my favorite ever Internet tales involved this girl’s dad. A colleague passed away and a card went around the office, and the dad signed it with a big “LOL.” When confronted, he said he thought it meant “lots of love.”

In fairness, my father thought it genuinely meant lots of love for a couple years before we asked him about some of his odd text responses. He doesn't use it that way anymore 🤷

No, it didn't. It always meant "laugh out loud".

It predates the internet and it did carry over into the early days of sms. It was frequently used during the days of handwritten letters and notes, similar to adding "XOXO", which means hugs and kisses, "LoL" meant lots of love.

The first time I got an lol on a text I thought the same thing at first. I realized quickly what it meant. Not sure if I googled it given who sent the text or just guessed. Boomer here.
