I worked as an AM for a little over 8 years and quit about 15 months ago. This company stopped caring about there troops (people in the store’s) they begun to completely take away any freedom the store managers had. This created a rift between the... — read more 

If you look at the stock on Jan 17th 2014 it was at $18.40 the company rose to an all time high of $40.55 in Dec of 2015 then it the stock started to tank. When all the new sham programs started popping up 5 years ago things fell through the... — read more 

I retired last year after 43 years of service with Kroger. Over that time period I watched as managers who in the past actually were allowed to make decisions that positively effected store sales are now reduced to clipboard toting zombies. As hours... — read more 

I don't know why this is going on maybe God knows but I hope that the ones that have been layed off get back to work soon

So many of the posts left on this site are almost entirely uneducated and unfounded. So many people commenting on things they only heard about. This of course through hearsay or maybe from an employee that was personally touched by restructuring... — read more 

I am a Kroger retiree and no longer shop Kroger stores. All the employees act like they are angry and very unhappy. You can’t give good customer service if you hate your job. I would rather shop at Walmart even though I said I never would. Their ... — read more 

I’ve been with Kroger for 10 years and the last 3 have been awful! If they keep running the way they are with no baggers and short in every department they will be out of business in the next 10 years. When all the customers have to bag their own... — read more 

The management at my Kroger store is sh–ty, we are constantly getting new mangers. Right now we are set on three but two of the three are terrible. One is a arrogant narcissist who only cares about himself, and the other one is stuck so far up his... — read more 

Will there be more cuts?

I am a long-term employee and I’m not surprised at all by what the company is doing. Feeding the human spirit is not about the employees as much as it is pushed and they want to turn it around and look like it is. Feeding the human spirit is about... — read more

All store mgrs and assist mgrs at Frys in AZ have to go to mandatory meetings this week, for only 15 mins each person. I assume they will be told their fate then. Meetings are Tues, Weds and Thursday, Oct 8-10, starting at 8 am and going until 545... — read more 

As someone who sits in middle mgt, I can tell you first hand those who were dismissed lacked what was needed for next level success. Perspective matters, so where we each sit, we perceive augmented realities. In addition, the convos and rhetoric... — read more 

The teams that Kroger gathered to lie and manipulate customers into getting their ridiculously high apr credit card is horrible. If customers knew that Kroger makes that particular team of sellers to do anything and everything possible lying... — read more 

The program they got from D___ny was more than an uplift program. No one gets away with mistreating their employees more than they do. It's all about how to cut loose the most expensive employees and trying to coerce everyone else from quitting until... — read more 

Holding out hope that the board of directors will hold Rodney accountable for his mismanagement of Kroger is not likely. Change will only occur when customers and Wall street have had enough with a shopping experience that continues to become more... — read more 

Is general group going to have the same faith as home electronics in fred meyer? Managers dropping to leads? Are only salaried managment only going to be laid off?

letting store managers and assistants go isnt going to fix the problem. #1coordinators are completely unecessary; let the general managers handle that spot. #2 sell products by demographics- you sell products in areas where nobody buys and dont sell... — read more 

Dear Mr. Mc Mullen and Kroger Board Members, I thought it was Krogers mission to "Feed the Human Spirit" and to "Up Lift...every day..every way!" How is it up lifting to see you cut soo many jobs....people that has given you blood, sweet and... — read more 

The CEO received a $11.7 million bonus and his henchmen all received $2-6.5 million in bonuses just a few months ago. Then they go and do this. People have lost their livelihoods. I’m so glad I left when I did. This company has been going downhill... — read more 

The board of directors is made up of people who are nothing but clowns. Come on what would you expect from Ron Sargent - the CEO who broke Staples and Ashok Vemuri who sank Conduent.

As a long time Kroger employee I find this current move by Kroger heartbreaking. So many people are losing their livelihood. This started at the top and has rolled downhill. I think it's time for the Board of Directors to make Rodney Mcmullen step... — read more

I thought I was reading the WalMart board with all the poor treatment of good employees being discussed here. I guess we all need to apply at Costco.

Kinda wishing I would get laid off. I have heard from a few of my peers that were laid off that the company is giving pretty fair severance packages based off years of employment. So far the longest severance package I have heard about is 9 months of... — read more 

It continues into next week! I have it from a few sources that Delta store managers in at least 1 district have meetings on Monday and Tuesday at a hotel in Memphis. Stay tuned...

This is the line these greedy fools like to use all the time. Its all they dwell on is money. They are so greedy they would be open a half a day judgement day just to make a penny.

Has anyone heard if the blood shed is over or if there will be another round of layoffs? I'm hearing a ton of rumors.

I have been with Kroger for 20 years. The first 10 years were great. Kroger cared about their employees and their families. The next five years were ok ,not as good but ok. These last 5 years have been a real challenge. There are not enough hours or... — read more

121 billion fiscal year and yet the company can not even pay their hard working employees.
