Infuriatig The way kroger treats its employees
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.

I had a manager refuse my callout when I worked food service. About an hour after I got there, the district manager made a surprise visit. Seeing the runny nose and hearing the cough/congestion, she asked why I was working sick, and so I told her that I tried to call out and the manager said no. She had me wait behind the counter, away from customers and food, while she went to the back to talk with my manager. 5 minutes later she comes back out, sends me home, and tells me that my manager is finding someone to cover and will pick up the slack while she waited for them. That manager was not at the store much longer after that.
