Thread regarding Kroger Co. layoffs

239 in Illinois, Wisconsin!!! Marianos and Pick N Save!!

Fred Meyers just started lay offs this week.... Waiting for "the call".

I was told that decisions were made by Kroger and not by the individual company. 25+ years of giving everything that I had to be let go with no explanation...SMMFNH

Hi. Nathaniel Meyersohn from CNN Business here.

Would love to chat with you on background, meaning I would not use your name in a story or tell anyone else that we spoke.

I can be reached via cell 917 498 6900 or Nathaniel.meyersohn@cnn.com. Also on signal

Thanks,

Nathaniel

Regarding the meetings. All the managers called for a meeting today, were let go. Most of us never received a call at all, up to this point. DMs say they are going to meet with all of us, yet everyone called has been laid off.

So sad kroger is a billion dollar company why so greedy SMFH

Whoever said nothing happened at Ralph’s is wrong! This is enterprise wide!

Is there any documented buy outs ? All I am aware of are pink slips !

56 Store Salaried Management Associates we’re let go from the Ralphs Division today. All District Staff has meetings at tomorrow.

Ralphs So Cal - nothing happened here

Mid-Atlantic here, one of my store managers is having his meeting tomorrow

ATL +1

nashville division too

Layoffs and demotions here in D4.

We lost 5 store managers - CO's are next.

400 views after 2 hours. tells you a story, huh? it will be interesting tomorrow?

I really want to go on a rant here but I will not. After all sacrifice, 20 years to blood, sweat and tears I was let go today. There is no loyalty in corporate America, “we’ll retire you here” has no meaning, it’s all fake. Millennials are right, take care of yourself only, and to do not trust anyone. It’s sad. Kroger is ungrateful and they do not deserve us….

same here as i am waiting to see what will happen tomorrow.

i've shared this board with my contacts, i hope this goes viral and we get an inside info on what's going on, if we get a lot of people there will be more info shared, somebody has to know what's planned.

Hi @vuj - we are in the same situation - my dad has a meeting tomorrow and we are all very concerned - the uncertainty is k–ling us... I wish you guys all the best!

Please share any information you have. My husband’s meeting is tomorrow. We are worried sick. He is in the Memphis division.

It totally makes no sense to remove staff at the store level, this is considering most stores are always desperate for staff, especially in the department head and manager level staff.

All of our departments here except for FE have either no department head or no department co head

• Executives want to get the best of the best back into stores
• For the longest time if you were good you wanted to be a coordinator. You got to be out of the stores and travel around!
• The idea is to make the store manager position that people want again
• I don’t see it working but it’ll make people step up their game

They said no ASM changes until after holidays so the co’s should be pretty stationary

Apparently all the managers and comanagers are getting a evaluation starting tomorrow and there are either moving managers and co mangers around or letting them go and offing buyouts

every time HEB opens a store right across from a big kroger, it k–ls the store like overnight. not only does 1/3 of the staff immediately quit and go to HEB sales drop like crazy.

going down coordinators, merged all the perishables into one coordinator for example. The conference calls with merchandisers on Friday and email are supposed to be helping pick up for direction in the department Dillons division district 2

Just a shame. So many people that put lives on hold for an ungrateful company.

New Structure: District Manager, Three Coordinators, Store manager
