CAN someone tell me if all Kroger owned stores are union? Because In California upper management is spreading propaganda that this was caused by the latest UFCW union contract.

This is happening in Colorado as well, store managers have meetings this week, and asm's have meetings next week. It makes you wonder if there's a merger coming or the company is going to sell. At least our area has been top-heavy with... — read more 

The first thing they should look at is how bad there turn over is. It is because of upper management who doesn't care about there employees, or there family life. They expect way to much from one person which is unfair. To many managers, not enough... — read more

Any insight into what's happened so far specifically in Delta?

I can’t help but wonder what Barney Kroger would think of all this. A CEO who makes upwards of 11 million per year, and countless VPs of any and everything who make the big bucks too. Kroger says Store Leadership is the most important Role, yet we... — read more

Two got deleted? Why are posts deleted?

If they would let the stores control their self like the old days, they would still be #1., but the people in Cincinnati wants to control everything!! Going down real fast

Stop calling it a layoff! Definition of a "layoff" means people can eventually get called back to their jobs. In this case, that will never happen. These people were forced into retirement or just plain let go. End of story.

From what I know they have laid off/fired mostly older employees it is sickening! I wish this country protected employees and some stores are even union....what good have they done for all the money they have collected?? I am in NM and these past 2... — read more

Are subsidiaries like Fry's, Ralph's, King Sooper's, Fred Meyer, etc. being hit by this too, or is it just Kroger stores?

So let this be a lesson. If this is how they treat their people then it may not be worth your while to start a career here or even bother staying. I have better things to do than worry about when the ax will fall or dealing with people who don't... — read more 

Do they even say anything? Do they say you're getting laid off due to position elimination, restructuring,or what? What are the laid off folks being told at those meetings?

Any indication, or is it too early to say?

What’s the reason behind it? Are they trying to get cheaper manager.

Has anyone had a meeting that hasn’t been laid off?

At least here. Now for the sleepless night ahead of tomorrow.

This might be a stupid question, but can those who have been laid off with severance also collect unemployment?
