I see a lot of posts but the next time I get on line they are gone? What's the deal? Who has a say on what stays and what goes? I don't recall any posts inciting violence, being s-xist, etc. that would cause a moderator to take them down?

How many work at the company? What is the overall employee count at Cincinnati?

Rodney needs to reach out to some of the folks from the VRO in 2017 a lot of experience left and the and the downfall started then. 8451and Boston consulting are running the company now and it's not working. CPG companies taking funds elsewhere... — read more 

Employees such as checkers are being or have been replaced by self checkout machines. Strange & unhappy shift from customer perspective. A downer.

When does it begin?

It's really, really clear Kroger has been and continues to target experienced employees. In many states this could be actionable under anti-age discrimination statutes, but what my pharmacist partner observed is that the DM was smart enough to never... — read more 

It seems the theme in many large corporation layoffs. Older, more experienced employees are targeted so cheaper new hires can take their place. This saves money in the short run, but it quite possibly can be the companies ultimate downfall as in... — read more

This is not a company that cares or values their employees, the people on the front lines making them their 121 billion. It's about their shareholders, failing business deals and being on top. All the talented a nd well seasoned employees will leave... — read more 

My guess is another layoff will be the death nail. Workers are already looking to find work elsewhere while at kroger - another massive layoff will send the message to whoever they keep who were on the fence about their job security off of it and... — read more 

Coming from the other side of the layoff. I just want to say the grass is greener. I know a lot of store managers like me that have dedicated their lives, moved their families to other towns or states, worked 12 to 16 hours all the time, usually 6 or... — read more 

I'm getting really tired of all the uncertainty and stress that comes with it. Why not have all the layoffs at once? Why keep us waiting, thinking there could be more coming at any time? What's the point?

if you made it through the first round of firings, this is NO guarantee you will make it with this company. It's a company that can't be trusted in any way. They can just as easily change their minds or receive commands from great leader that more... — read more

I was in the know at GO until I retired. Cuts are coming at GO in 2020. 15% of the workforce. As I remember folks that got less than an average on their reviews will be looked at being eliminated. Posted in another thread by @125SfW6V-2obr, bumped... — read more

Have you heard anything about potential Kroger Layoffs 2020? Any news or rumors?

Due to Kroger laying off valuable managers , I do not shop there, the company does not value their employees.

I worked for Kroger for three years and truly felt the corporation viewed employees as SLAVES and not in any way assets. From scheduling, which is atrocious and shows a lack of regard for employee well being or personal lives, to not listening to any... — read more

Tell me why those at GO are able to have "flex" schedules, work from home, etc. but the Division peeps are not allowed? That's BS.
