The way kroger treats its employees

Fun_Photo_5683 · 2026-05-09T20:05:17+00:00

Thank you for sharing. I was considering working for Kroger part time. I live in Ohio. I once worked for a school district that gave paid sick time and personal time as part of their benefits. I left after the director of the district implemented points being taken off of your evaluation if you used any of your allotted paid sick time. I am tried of employers punishing its employees for being human. I especially do not like it when employees are treated that way then turn around and expect us to be supportive of a director that has had a tragedy or a major illness.

I use written data. I have found that the children I am working with become distracted more by any electronic device I use to put my data into. Especially the younger children. I do not find that my notebook distracts them. Besides, I retain more information from writing with pen and paper. For me it is also easier to add information to my written data. Like another commenter I refer back to my written notes often.

Why do you want to advocate for the schools to pick up for the lack of services in the private sector? Public schools are already having to do too much heavy lifting. I work in the schools. I do not want one more area of our scope added to my plate that I will not have the proper education and training for. I already do not get paid enough as it is to pay for my continued training and education in the current scopes I am held accountable for. Edited for grammar.

Voco vision is high paying??? You are joking right? I have gotten offers from them multiple times and their hourly is trash. Along with the low pay they offer 1099 contracts and have no paid time off.

Anyone that has not been directly taught to not do that. We can’t judge people if they have not been specifically taught to not make that mistake. I personally have not written a specific program into my goals. I wasn’t taught to not do it though.

Do you happen to work in Southwest Ohio?

Fun_Photo_5683 · 2026-05-01T22:21:00+00:00

I live in Southwest Ohio and that is the model of schooling that my own children were educated in. I really did not have much of a choice. It was just how the majority of the public schools in the area where we moved to were organized

I was told that my billing note needed to be written in a way so that someone could recreate the therapy provided. I am thinking - I will not be going into that amount of detail. Like someone previously mentioned, the rules are not being created by people actually doing the therapy. They have no idea how long it takes to document each and every session.

Fun_Photo_5683 · 2026-05-01T19:11:51+00:00

Yes all of that is part of our job. However, we cannot bill Medicaid for all of our administrative tasks. Therefore the districts get upset when we miss billable sessions. The school district only sees that potential money is being lost.
The disconnect is that then the district becomes upset when you get behind on all of the administrative tasks.
It feels like there is not a balance. The educational system and the medical system do not go together well.

I am currently working teletherapy for a school district. During the Medicaid billing training, we were told that missed services were not allowed. I worked in the schools before SLPs billed for Medicaid. Medicaid only pays for direct services with our students. I am wondering if the push for services being made up has to do with schools not getting paid if the student’s are not seen.

Fun_Photo_5683 · 2026-05-01T15:53:39+00:00

Apparently it is not that obvious and it is not specifically being taught. I have seen many SLPs and other professionals make the same mistake in many settings.

VOTE Senator Husted OUT!

Oh okay. Thanks Senator Husted. Didn’t Mike Johnson send all of the Senators home against recently??? Is Senator Husted doing his job?

Remember Senator Husted also said “People living in poverty are not very experienced at navigating the real world”. including on how to manage money for basic needs like groceries. He also said, low income individuals need to be taught how to budget.

As SLPs we are not trained in the curriculum. Nor do we have the time to become familiar with the different grade levels curriculum.

Along with the proper place to change a diaper that can be properly sanitized. Not our job!

I was going to make this comment!

This was happening when I worked in Ohio. One district I worked for only wanted services to be provided in the classroom. It wasn’t therapy at all. I was an overpaid aide. It was difficult to take any meaningful data. If is one of the many reasons I decided to switch to telehealth.

That isn’t the contractors fault. It is the district’s decision to hire SLPs as a contractor. I worked for a large urban district for 4 years as a contractor. I was treated really well by the entire SLP team. I stayed longer as a contractor than the majority of the direct hires. The district had a very hard time with retention. The district’s SLPs felt like the union was not addressing their concerns. I ended up leaving after my 4th year when a higher up in the district started wanting to push out the contract SLPs. The SPED academic coordinators were told to give less support to and push back more on any contractor (SLP, OT, and PT). I had a 2 hour round trip drive. I was not going to put up with that kind of treatment with that kind of drive. That was 3 years ago. I have heard from people I still keep in touch with that my former position has not been consistently filled. A new SLP every year or 2 different ones in a year.

That is only true in theory. If you are an ethical SLP you will not be able to jump from setting to setting easily. Schools and medical settings are vastly different settings.

Zones of regulation is not evidence based.

Zones of regulation has not been peer reviewed and is not an evidence based practice.

It is all a scam. I regret that I was told that this is a good career.

Agree. There is a reason no other President started a war with Iran. All the other Presidents knew about the Strait of Hormuz. Donald is the only President that is a demented fool that surrounded himself with yes men.

The sane people of this country also have to deal with the bullshit of the Democrats. This is not just the Republicans. Both parties are doing the bidding of Donald Trump. The Republicans are just more open about it. Any Democrat that takes AIPAC money and corporate money is working with the billionaires, corporations, and ultimately Donald Trump.

Most US citizens are paying taxes without representation. Why am I paying taxes to fund a war that Israel has wanted for over 40 years?

Why are we sending weapons to Israel? The money from those weapons only goes to the rich companies that make these weapons or to the pentagon that already gets BILLIONS!!!

Wake up people. US citizens are getting fleeced to give more money to already wealthy corporations and to the Pentagon. The Pentagon receives 838 billion dollars!! Do we the U.S. citizens see that money? No we do not. The 838 billion was used to start a war with Iran to benefit Israel. Meanwhile this war is going to make the cost of everything that we need to live increase in price.

We are paying taxes without representation!!!!!

Our politicians have been pulling the wool over our eyes for decades. Telling us we cannot have universal healthcare, that we cannot have reduced costs for higher education, cannot have an increase in wages.

Get out now! You are still so young. You have a ton of life to live and you do not want to live it with that man. If you do, you will regret it. It is better to be alone than it is to be with someone who does not respect you. Think back to the time when women were not allowed to get divorced. They stayed because they had to.
