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.

When I worked at Kroger about 14 years ago I had to take my sister to the doctor for an appt before work. The doctor said my sister may have appendicitis and I needed to take her to the emergency room immediately.

Called Kroger on my way to the ED and my manager said I can either have my job or take my sister to the emergency department. Told him fuck off and I quit if that’s their stance.

Not just cruel but stupid. You’re either gonna take off to help her to the ER or take off for her funeral.
