That’s exactly what I’m going through right now. Debating going in and putting in a two weeks notice during my shift tonight. I need a break and quitting or not showing up is the only way to get one. 55-65 hours per week for me right now

It's disgusting the way they treat their workers. I'm so glad I didn't waste any more of my life there.

Good Choice!

That sounds a lot like wal mart.

If you were so unhappy & overworked there, why did you stay so long?

I wish we could treat the customers how they treat us. It'd be funny wouldn't it?

Not flame resistant... Js.

Stop shopping there, I know I did and tell people you know to stop shopping there as well. That's the only way you can teach them a lesson.

I don't shop there anymore since 2019 after the company tried to crucify me for reporting a racist store manager. I was being singled out for no apparent reason by the store manager in front of a predominately white management staff for stuff he wasn't holding them accountable for. I was advised by the union to file a complaint with the company's ethics hotline. After doing so, the store manager, district managers, regional HR and including the CEO began a retaliation campagn against me.

Don't take this the wrong way but I have to ask, Was it perceived racism was it real racism because to some people in our modern world if you question someone who's a minority or disapprove of something they do or try to hold them accountable they pull out the race card but yes they're absolutely Racism that exists but not as much as the mainstream media Tells you. There is such thing as shoe racism that is going on but there's also perceived racism or what I call Commie racism (Meaning that a lot of people in the communist party around the world Pushes false narratives and creates controversy and creates strife and disorder where there was none or where there was very little) Just like during martin Luther king in the 1,960s and the civil rights movement there absolutely were times where black people and the white people who supported The civil rights movement And desegregation Word Word discrimination against and word sprayed with hoses and word with billy clubs but there was also a lot of these big big Riots that happened in the 1,960s and 70s the happened in the big major cities like New York city Los Angeles Chicago Detroit and many others, There have been Communist front groups basically companies who were just a front for a different organization that the communist party worked with To push strife and to push false narratives and to push fatherlessness in a whole bunch of other things into the inner city, They played both sides they played whites against blacks and blacks against whites and Mexicans against blacks not because they actually cared about those People or those nationalities but People or those nationalities but because it made them more money and gave them more control because we're fighting amongst ourselves instead of fighting against them. And when a lot of those big riots happened in the 60s they had to do with how black people were tired of being treated badly or considered half a citizen There was absolutely some strife like that there was absolutely some justified protests but the whole thing where a lot of people in these communities burnt down buildings and beat people up that was instigated by the communist party and other group Cause strife and cause problems(A good example of this is when martin Luther king was shot there were people who ride it in the streets but they weren't burning down buildings and getting upset they were grieving absolutely but they were not trying to destroy their own communities or their own businesses) But then communist and other government groups and government funding groups came around and basically told the whole community that you need to fight and you need to kill people and you need to burn things down to get what you want The elderly people who spoke against this were told to shut up In the community but the younger people the revolutionary the black panthers and other groups were told to get more Violent with people who didn't agree with desegregation and To cause more Chaos and more violence and more arson in these communities that had already been devastated by Segregation but also by Bad government policies, Because remember; Before the early 1,960s Detroit Baltimore New York city many of these big cities were not run by democrats and the policies actually helped the black community there didn't hurt them (Except for Chicago it's been mob run for over 100 years so they had more problems than these other big Metropolis cities That were the hub of manufacturing in the mid 20th century)

They literally will fire people for speaking o it against them! I’ll get fired if they find out who I am! Fuck them!

The union doesn’t help anyone but the company itself lmao

@@CAsnowman my union was able to get our district raises

@@lancefisher8358 that’s good maybe some are ok but in the sense of standing up for you against the company they’re on the companies side 150% I wasn’t even trained properly and ended up quitting because of the AWFUL management and HR department. Couldn’t even get ahold of our union rep without like a two day notice so he effectively was zero help. They had some dude who just started train me for two days and tried saying it was sufficient when I wasn’t even told a single standard or what they expect from you at ALL. When I asked to be trained by a manager they got all weird and told me they would need a “witness” for the entire training process because apparently they said I could’ve been lying about insufficient training even though it was two days and was shown by a guy who hadn’t even been there a month himself. Absolute joke wasted an incredible amount of my time too by putting me on suspension for a minor ticket for an entire year because the courts wouldn’t take it off my record until then. Overall one of the worst experiences I’ve had with an employer, constantly belittled and berated for not “meeting standards” even though I was never told of the standards and they refused to give me even a day to acclimate to reaching those standards.

We no longer have much of a union in texas

Literally have to be corrupt to climb up Kroger career ladder.

Illegal every day in every way.

The Department of Labor has been asleep, and or died. They are part of the problem. For as long as Kroger has been around, the Department of Labor is in their pocket as well. They allow minimum wage employees to be audited by Wells fargo, and Wells Fargo will garnish wages of minimum wage employees. If you are down on your luck, I would rather you come mow my lawn once a week then go work at kroger. Save your soul, do not work for kroger. Corruption lies and banking at its absolute worst. Any lawyer that wants to back them up should be ashamed and have their bloody corpse dragged down the street in a parade. Fuck Kroger

What's almost worse is that while corruption is rewarded honest and integrity are punished. And, like I said, Kroger is still very bad.

It was my understanding that all employees of Ralphs have been/will be relocated, not fired. Is that true?

@@Ricki_Raquel maybe some but they aren’t going to accommodate those employees at all. If they can’t make it to the store an extra half hour away and that’s what they’re offered they don’t care if they can’t make the drive or whatever.

Right? I mean what the fuq richard

Stop shopping there, I know I did and tell people you know to stop shopping there as well. That's the only way you can teach them a lesson. There are other grocery stores and I even do my shopping on Amazon. If everyone boycot them it will hurt them bad. They were racist toward me as an employee and I made a pledge to never spend my money in their stores again.

As an employee of Kroger I profoundly apologize for the behavior of these corporate rats and store managers

​@@chriswells2953 you don't

Amen, friend. I used to be proud to wear that apron but after the way they treated me I'm glad I'm out of there.

I just got out of working there two weeks ago

Amen! I worked there as a meat cutter for 6 years and got fired in 2017, two weeks before I was to transfer to another store as a dept head, for working straight through an 8 hour shift and not taking a lunch break when I was the only one working the dept that day. Got called into managers office the next day and told that I was fired, because I had voluntarily quit the day before by not taking lunch. Never had been written up for anything, ever! Served 2 tours in afghanistan as an infantry soldier. Took the union over a year and a half to come around to settle up for anything, but they decided to withhold all my backpay and refused to give me my job back because after a year passed of having been let go, I facebook messaged the store manager and told him what I thought of him in a not so nice way. Company wanted to press criminal charges and union decided not to arbitrate my case even though it was agreed by the union and kroger that it was a wrongful termination. This is a horrible company and I hope they lose their asses for everything wrong they've done to it's employees! They owe me a year and a half of backpay at a rate of 17.35/hr! They can burn in hell!

Wow there is some corruption in my Kroger group but nothing like that I work in central Kentucky Kroger Just outside Lexington Kentucky, And they had 1 manager named candra who was in her late 30Flirting with all the Flirting with all the And And supposedly she was wanted to date a few of them but they let her go before Much of that could happen So I don't think Microscope is My micro is correct is yours wellcorrect lol, At least in that way, Because she did get in trouble for trying to date other managers And this was just 2 or 3 years ago and she was the main store manager up until a different 1 came around In January The middle of 2020.

Sorry to hear that .. you should go work for Trader Joe's, they take much better care of their employees

Sorry for your loss

Hell I work at Kroger in Brookhaven Ga and we can’t even get that all we get is a pat on the back for our hard work and putting up with their blatant stupidity

All these people that got laid off received enhanced unemployment from the CARES act. They sure as fuck did get something extra.

Youre blaming the store when you should blame the democrat city leaders for forcing companies to pay more. Why didnt democrats pay them instead? Democrats think this wins them votes when it should lose them votes because now it costs people jobs instead. Its not krogers fault. Theyre a business. A business has to make money or it closes

@@RandomBowlerDude THE WORKERS WHO WORKED DURING the pandemic SURE AS FUCK DID NOT get anything extra. READ comments before commenting.

@@blue03r6 yes I'll start blaming the Democrats for the CEO making the choice to lower front line employees and raise his pay. smart.

@@KDRolls its his company. He can pay himself whatever. When you're the boss, you can too. He doesnt owe your husband anything. Be grateful your husband isnt out of a job. Yeah, it would be nice of him to give out some money as appreciation. I think its a little bit of a dick move. But i dont know their operating expenses. But maybe they couldn't without raising costs. Which only hurts everyone else. Food prices have already gone up since biden was installed. The cost of living has skyrocketed because of inflation due to bidens economic policies. Maybe you should stop voting for people who devalue your paycheck and cause people to lose their jobs. Democrats all over the country that came out with strick lockdowns and kept them in place for months are the people who you should be pissed off at

An employee sprayed me in face with chemicals for NO reason at all and Kroger and police did Nothing at all

Unfortunately that's because he is a hourly union worker and not a salary worker like your manager.

Yeah probably because they're buddies. Shit happens everywhere in this company. So many people get away with so much! Favoritism is BAD with all Krogers.

Why do people stay so long at a job they hate?

@@creepycrespi8180 he just explained it to you. the false motivation carrot and stick method that if you just stay long enough you can climb up the ladder.

@@cloroxbleach3809 It took him 14 years to figure this out? Come on man.

Very well written. That company is nothing but trash. If you report them for unscrupulous or bad behavior the whole company will bully, harass, sabotage, lie on you and do every narcissistic and evil thing they can to try to make you miserable. The whole company from the CEO down to store management level is made up of nothing but low class racist bigots with mental disorders. The only reason why most of them even have jobs is because people have to eat. Very few actually have college degrees so that explains what you are dealing with working for Kroger

I worked for them too and they showed their racist colors. This is a very toxic, racist, unprofessional, unethical hostile working environment. Either they are taught to bully their employees from the higher ups or Kroger intentionally hire management staffs who practice narcissism. Most of the managers there are uneducated with personality disorders. Just don't shop there like I did, that will teach them a lesson.

Bottle returns is a service offered by your state, kroger has no impact on how many bottle pallets they get, once we run out, we're out. You should know how slow the government is in getting things together......

@@patrick05020 If you buy these cans and bottles from your store that makes you pay for the deposits, you should make your customers happy by keeping all these machines working and as long as the store is open, your deposit machines should be open for your customers instead of making them stand in line for limited hours during the day.. I don't think you care about your customers at all, and I will be shopping at other stores for pop or beer from now on,,,,,,,,,,,,

@@ddyeo503 I am not kroger. I'm just telling you how the STATE of Michigan sends us our bottle bins. Completely out of the stores control.

@@patrick05020 You collect the deposit when we buy pop and beer cans and bottles. Yet you limit the time the machines are open, and also fail to keep all 4 machines running, down to just 2 machines. You need to fix all machines and have them open longer, so that your customers can get their money back that you took from them earlier. It should be just as easy for us to get our money back as it is for you to take our money from us. And I don't really think you care at all if they get their money back at all, or your customers,,,,,,,,,,,,,.

Kroger is a crappy chain from oh whom hide behind a different name in most states

A little of both. Mainly lack of people though

It's because of lack of truck drivers to be real with ya. Dont know why you would go to a youtube video and ask such a dumbass question like this. I pray to God you're not a customer at my store.

Blame the democrat socialist city leaders that the stores have closed. What did they offer? nothing. Instead, They decided to FORCE others to do something. Democrats do not understand what running a business is like because theyre too busy taking everything from everyone instead of earning it

@@blue03r6 Republicans just want to keep people poor and the rich richer. Either party is neither the answer for a better world.

Seriously, there is a thing called competition in the business world. If a competing business is offering more pay, kroger will have to compete. When you induce a forced governmental pay raise you affect business the world over, small and big.

Democrats caused them to close. Instead of helping they tried to force someone else to help. You little socialist dont want to earn your own money you want someone else to give it to you

@@marcusfieldfield4069 Sorry, been so long. They charge 10 cents for paper or plastic or you can opt to pay a buck for the reusable bag...they dick you anyway they can to make a extra dime. They even charge 10 cents for an envelop if you get a money order etc. The king soopers (kroger) here raised their prices just to asinine amounts. I paid $7.15 for a box of malt o meal hot cereal..that's ridiculous.....and to top that off they are building a brand new store here where there used to be a k-mart.... kroger is epitome of greed... they want their billions and to kiss stock holder ass...that's all they want.

Unions in bed with Kroger has been for years.you can't win against these companies I worked for Kroger 34 years.the first 25 years were great.after I turned 55 it all changed.they wanted me gone.made my job as hard as possible.i was a meat manager and they took our bonus away and any perks we had were now all taken away.i watched Kroger destroy the meat business.it all is cut somewhere else and ñone of it is fit to eat and ridiculously priced.so glad I don't have to work there anymore

I agree with your sentiment here. I own Kroger stock because it's a nice dividend paying stock with low volatility, and is generally immune to an economic downturn because people will always need groceries.

You're a moron. This is just a bad and greedy company and it starts with the CEO. I use to work for them myself and this company has no morals, it's racist, greedy, unethical, unprofessional in every way and dishonest. The company is made up of selfish people and most of them are narcissist. I was a department manager of a cheese shop in Cincinnati a few years ago and my shop was one of the best in the district. The cheese shop was privately owned at first until Kroger bought them out. Anyway, from day one I could feel the racism when I was promoted in that position and they tried to throw everything at me to try to discourage me. At the time I was finishing a bachelors degree in IT at a university. Eventually we inherited a new store manager and this man had no respect for people period, especially if you are a black male. On several occasions I was singled out for no reason during his huddles in front of a predominately white management staff. I eventually complained to the company's union. They told me to contact the company's alert line. When I did, the store, the district and regional HR office started to retalliate. They sabotaged my department, tried to degrade me, disrespect, bully, humiliate you name it and your mighty CEO as well as the union knew what was going on and did nothing. I even had to get an attorney involved who made the union set up a grievance. I left shortly after that and got a real job with my degree. I never stepped foot in another Kroger to do any shopping. I am not giving my money to a company that treats people like that and if the rest of you people have any sense, you would do the same.

not that simply buddy

Not everyone is in that position nor does it justify corporate bullshit.

Stop shopping there, I know I did and tell people you know to stop shopping there as well. That's the only way you can teach them a lesson.

So, as long as you, you personally keep profitable outcomes the means doesn't matter. American greed at its finest. Raging narcissistic.

@@thoth3338 It's called working for a living. You might as well get used to it because everybody on this planet is a slave to money.

@@RandomBowlerDude What a sad shell of an existence, to disregard the dignity of thousands for your own misplaced sense of superiority. People aren't asking for handouts, they're just asking for a living wage. There's no justifiable reason for a CEO to be taking home 21 million a year while the bulk of their workforce struggles against the poverty line. Share value has nothing to do with it. It's a systemic failure of American capitalism.

@@christopher6600 people go get MBAs for a reason. Kroger has historically been a recession proof stock because people will always need groceries.... I can't say that working in a grocery store is a great job. It's not something I would want to do... But getting a job at a grocery store is easy to do if you're in high school. There are layers to the economy... Things that you clearly don't understand. You're supposed to go to college and get a degree and level up... Or you gain experience or specialized knowledge in a trade, and level up... The minimum wage wouldn't have to be raised if you people didn't print so much money and hand it out to the corporations the don't need it... You come down on Kroger, But you disregard problematic corporations like Goldman Sachs. I'm used to this kind of reaction from uneducated people, and I won't lose any sleep over it.

​@@RandomBowlerDude Thanks for the laugh mate. Really proving my point, making baseless presumptions about my level of education, socioeconomic status, and opinion on investment bankers, solely to fuel your misplaced sense of superiority. Learn some humility. And some humanity, for that matter, given that my position was arguing from a stance of moral obligation, of which you seem to have either missed or deemed irrelevant. What does it matter if a job is "unskilled"? It's labor. Essential labor. Full time labor should be enough to support a person, at a bare fucking minimum, regardless of skillset. Skilled workers can and should have a greater range of economic growth, sure, but the two aren't mutually exclusive. If a company can't flourish without starving their employees, then - and I'm sorry if this is a hot take - maybe that company shouldn't be flourishing? Again, there's no reason for a CEO to be taking home tens of millions annually while their employees rely on SNAP benefits to afford groceries. It's morally bankrupt, first and foremost. I'm not trying to debate you about how the system works, as you seem to think I am. I'm saying that it needs changed, through either social or legislative pressure.
