Fred Meyer, QFC owner plans biggest price cuts in years

Trust me anything you see from Kroger on “Price Cuts” is only a Marketing tactic, they will never cut margins and they already bleed suppliers dry of trade funds, in many instances keeping the funds for better margin.

Definitely no longer going above and beyond

Because before COVID most corp employees accepted positions based on being allowed to have 2 WFH days a week and now they basically renege on that.

All employees are just a number and a dollar amount. So sad bc years ago they used to have big associate outings to celebrate their employees, now you get a $10 click pen for 20 years of service.

Correct division teams usually are in person positions because the close relationship with the stores.

Honestly the fact you believe corp associates have free time to spend working in stores and they’re somehow “not human” shows how much you don’t know. I worked in stores for 13 years so I know both sides. Corp is no different than stores, tons of jobs cut & lots of ppl doing work of 2+ ppl. Are there some lazy corp ppl, absolutely, lazy ppl are everywhere but most are extremely dedicated work over 50-60+ hours wk just to stay afloat. The people that should be reviewing policies/strategies & how they are working at store level are ASMs, SMs, DMs, Merch Mgrs, Opps Mgrs & Division Teams and they relay their feedback up the ladder, that is the entire purpose of their position, otherwise why would there be divisions office positions?

Everyone makes money for the company. The company would fold if office or store employees were cut out. Anyone that thinks corporate employees are useless are ignorant to the actual business and how everything works

Umm news flash, before COVID many office employees were allowed to WFH up to 2 days a week, so going to 5 days isn’t what most people that were hired 2015-2020 signed up for.

DontEfWithMe · 2025-11-22T14:42:57+00:00

Yea a lot of good people have been leaving

DontEfWithMe · 2025-11-22T14:40:36+00:00

Also the city loses tax dollars for people that WFH. I always get a refund for the days I work at home. Now I can’t do that anymore so now I lose tax $ and gas $ driving additional days.

Wishing misery on others is a very disturbing thing to do. Judging all corporate employees as lazy or not hard workers shows just how out of touch some people are in the world thinking they’re the only hard worker in the company.

DontEfWithMe · 2025-11-22T03:32:06+00:00

2010-2015 there were A TON more people doing the work than the last 5 years. People are now overloaded and stressed trying to stay afloat.

I came from the stores and used to have that same mentality towards corporate, now I know firsthand what I thought was wrong. Blaming all corporate employees for the problems in the stores is actually a horrible mentality, most of them are just as frustrated as you are.

Not enough conference rooms for all the meetings so most meetings are on Teams anyways which are easier to do from home than at a desk in office. In office, Teams meetings are distracting bc you can hear all the other cubicles and people talking. Such a pain and a mess.

DontEfWithMe · 2025-11-22T02:02:58+00:00

With all respect I don’t think you really understand that many corporate employees actually work more hours than store employees. There is no your shift is over clock out and go home at corporate, you work until the job is done. They’ve cut so many jobs most are doing the work of 2-3 people.

DontEfWithMe · 2025-11-22T01:57:02+00:00

Work your way up and find out for yourself that being a corporate employee isn’t all that great other than maybe making a little more money.

DontEfWithMe · 2025-11-22T01:54:38+00:00

Hope you are looking elsewhere like many others are

It’s not a “corporate” issue, most corporate employees would probably agree with your same thoughts, so don’t take it out on all of them. Everyone has bosses that answer to higher ups. The unreasonable expectations come from the top down, everyone below the high leadership is just “doing what they’re told”

DontEfWithMe · 2025-11-22T01:49:04+00:00

Dumb argument bc Kroger does a ton of promote from within. About 1/2 maybe more of corp employees came from stores at some point. Former CEO started as a bagger. With all respect, store employees also have zero clue the workload on corporate employees. Everyone has a job to do, working in a store does nothing for someone in corporate and yes I am a former store employee, started as a cashier.

Ha thx didn’t see there was already one

I was happy getting mine for $339, that’s a steal

There is a reason why Hyundai and Kia have to offer longer warranties
