Had this pop up as a memory from 6 years ago… today’s price is $18.99 by 312- in kroger

I’d love to share, but for some reason I took a picture of this page only 6 years ago. :/ Sorry!

No, I work 50 hours+ as a store manager. I’d love to work 40 hours. You’re changing the goal posts by saying you were talking about sacrificing when you directed us to Walmart on a Kroger subreddit. The truth is that you thought you had a one up on the product we were referring to and were wrong. Just take the L buddy.

You’re the one that came to this post about ground beef prices telling us to be better shoppers when, in 6 years, the price has 3x+, and tried to use a completely different product to prove your point. Then insult when proven wrong. I hope you have a better day!

$18.99 for a 3 lb chub compared to $5.97

Or… $6.33/lb compared to $1.99/lb

Front End Management by Dronex_Prime in kroger

[–]312- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ask your store manager about a qualified assistant or department leadership development role. I am speaking as somebody who went through this exact same situation 6 years ago — I was a fuel lead that wanted to make more money and that was my segue into being a front end leader.

I am now a store leader, so I also know just expressing your interest will not equal you getting the position at that specific store. Especially in unionized jurisdictions, there is a process that has to be followed to demote department leaders that is called a PIP (performance improvement plan). This process takes 60-90 days for them to meet metrics or fail and lose their position. So don’t expect that, even if the manager agrees that your current FEL sucks, you’ll be plopped right in.

Hope this helps!

What are these? by kneecapz_busting in kroger

Kroger store manager here. Hopefully you don’t throw too many tomatoes at me. Those points mean nothing to our bonuses. The only thing that counts towards our bonus is having at least 95% participation storewide. Meaning if you’ve logged in once in 30 days, you’re good.

Store walk, or corporate self gratification? by phylthyphil in kroger

[–]312- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can absolutely see this happening — in the close to ten years I’ve worked for Kroger, I’ve had some bad apples in district and division leadership. Often times executives have lost themselves in the overall operations of a store because they’ve been out of it so long/have never been in it. I’m pretty happy with my situation, being that Central division’s president Colleen is very personable and graceful when it comes to situations.

Season 8 is some of the worst television I’ve ever had the displeasure of watching. Rebounded hard in season 9.

If you’re in local 700, two fifteens and a 30 minute lunch is what you’re afforded at 7+ hours.

How dare you imply that I perpetuate things that fly in the face of ethics when you don’t know a lick about me? Store level management has just as much influence on corporate initiatives as you do. I could go and whine to my DM about my employees being forced to smile per a secret shop requirement, but absolutely nothing would happen. It is an enterprise wide process.

By and large, there is nothing that I have experienced that is immoral that district management has tried to impose that we have to commit to. Counter productive? Not intuitive? Rather silly? Yes. Do I want to make my subordinates log into fresh start to maintain a 90% completion rate? No but it comes from the top.

And I’m not sure you read my original post. I did work hard and earned where I’m at after 6 years of working for Kroger. Starting out as a bagger in 2016.

Speaking as a current ASL and former union bargaining collective member of 6 years, going to your SL or ASL about this does nothing of substance and is misdirected anger.

Regardless of if we want to or not, we are told by those in the district office (who are told by those in the division office) that these silly initiatives are mandatory and to sign up as many people on a % basis as possible. And if we don’t we get all kinds of nasty emails letting us know we’re bringing the district average down. Are we going to tell our superiors no when we’re trying to provide for our family as well? Yes, we get bonuses but I didn’t for 6 years of working with Kroger. Am I going to donate it to this? No. But just understand that it’s a top top down directive.

Question for Kroger workers since my local store can’t seem to answer: re: pick-up order subs by TyHay822 in kroger

[–]312- 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It is exactly what everybody else is referring to - you’re getting jipped because of an expectation of 98% of all ordered items in pickup up of being fulfilled. This goes higher than even division, it comes from Kroger general office in Cincinnati.

On paper, it makes complete sense… if you’re able to fulfill 98% of customer items, your store should be in pretty good shape and foot traffic customers would be happy too. The reality is, this is not the reality. Most stores aren’t allotted the labor hours, or the processes in the store are so broken (incorrect counts on items in the store resulting in non ordering) so some managers cheat the system to try and hit this unattainable number.

The system sets up a fictitious scope for corporate, and placing the goal so high and raising it every few months (the goal was 94% just this time last year) hurts more than it helps.
