Beware
Kroger not requiring employees to wear gloves. Stockers, cashiers, baggers etc. Food dept. only wearing when handling food. So all packaged items bought have been touched. Cashiers touch every item in every customer's cart that they have touched and... — read more
Wellbeing
Kroger has the managers left working (the ones they didn’t fire) 7a to 4p today and having them return at 7pm to work overnight. They don’t care about the health and well being of their staff. They only care about money!
Closures
My girls school just closed for at least 3 weeks. My wife works at the school and is required to go to work. My supervisors response was I don't know what to tell you. Find someone to watch them or take off and loose pay. And use up you're vacation... — read more
Do it
We SHOULD shut down the hot/salad bar during this crisis. Prepacked foods only from prepared foods and bakery. I can't believe our company is moving so slow to make this decision.

Kroger has no loyalty to anyone except their customers!
Kroger has no loyalty to anyone except their customers if you can't tell. So if I was you I would get out before it's too late. They allow their customers to be absolutely down right rude and disrespectful to their employees and that's okay because... — read more

Can someone help me explain the rules?
Are people being fired or laid off???
There is a huge difference between the two, so I would really appreciate it if somebody could provide us with a clarification. I am worried enough as it is about layoffs, I really do not need to add firings to the mix as well (or I will need to up my... — read more

The person in charge of hiring hired multiple new people for my department without talking to anyone. The head of our department tried to work around it by giving them training hours because they do need to be trained, but the store manager chewed... — read more

Has anyone heard if they got jobs at Walmarts or Targets maybe Meijer here in Dayton. I know the SM Who ran 933 into the ground cut and run a lemonade stand. And the one the one at 759 couldn't run a taco cart but they weaseled their way this far... — read more
Why are posts being deleted?
I see a lot of posts but the next time I get on line they are gone? What's the deal? Who has a say on what stays and what goes? I don't recall any posts inciting violence, being s-xist, etc. that would cause a moderator to take them down?
How many people work at Kroger?
How many work at the company? What is the overall employee count at Cincinnati?

Rodney needs to reach out to some of the folks from the VRO in 2017 a lot of experience left and the and the downfall started then. 8451and Boston consulting are running the company now and it's not working. CPG companies taking funds elsewhere... — read more

Employees such as checkers are being or have been replaced by self checkout machines. Strange & unhappy shift from customer perspective. A downer.

Kroger has been and continues to target experienced employees
It's really, really clear Kroger has been and continues to target experienced employees. In many states this could be actionable under anti-age discrimination statutes, but what my pharmacist partner observed is that the DM was smart enough to never... — read more
Corporate me-too
It seems the theme in many large corporation layoffs. Older, more experienced employees are targeted so cheaper new hires can take their place. This saves money in the short run, but it quite possibly can be the companies ultimate downfall as in... — read more

It's about shareholders
This is not a company that cares or values their employees, the people on the front lines making them their 121 billion. It's about their shareholders, failing business deals and being on top. All the talented a nd well seasoned employees will leave... — read more
Another layoff will be Kroger's death nail
My guess is another layoff will be the death nail. Workers are already looking to find work elsewhere while at kroger - another massive layoff will send the message to whoever they keep who were on the fence about their job security off of it and... — read more
Grass Is Greener
Coming from the other side of the layoff. I just want to say the grass is greener. I know a lot of store managers like me that have dedicated their lives, moved their families to other towns or states, worked 12 to 16 hours all the time, usually 6 or... — read more
Any chance this place will return to normal any time soon?
I'm getting really tired of all the uncertainty and stress that comes with it. Why not have all the layoffs at once? Why keep us waiting, thinking there could be more coming at any time? What's the point?
Nobody is safe!
if you made it through the first round of firings, this is NO guarantee you will make it with this company. It's a company that can't be trusted in any way. They can just as easily change their minds or receive commands from great leader that more... — read more
