I'm just going to leave this here
It's always easier to find a job when you already have one.
Is this true?
Corporate cuts are coming in 2020. 15% reduction in head count. Where did this info come from? Is this just somebody guessing or is it based on something concrete? Any more info would be appreciated.

Who is on the chopping block after the managers?
I really can’t see any way that they will stop at this, so I guess the natural question that comes to mind is who is going to be next on the chopping block, and how big of a reduction of workforce are we looking at when this is all over? Also, can we... — read more
why are some posters saying this is round 1 of 3?
Are you just guessing? or did it come from a reliable source?
Fry's cuts
Have they started? Anything else being affected?
Who else feels this way?
I found this somewhat useful. I'm still getting used to still being here while some of my good friends (and our best employees - I always have to emphasize that) are gone. I guess survivor guilt is... — read more

Some good points
I retired last year after 43 years of service with Kroger. Over that time period I watched as managers who in the past actually were allowed to make decisions that positively effected store sales are now reduced to clipboard toting zombies. As hours... — read more
Customer service Representative
I don't know why this is going on maybe God knows but I hope that the ones that have been layed off get back to work soon
You have no idea
So many of the posts left on this site are almost entirely uneducated and unfounded. So many people commenting on things they only heard about. This of course through hearsay or maybe from an employee that was personally touched by restructuring... — read more
Customer service is non-existant
I am a Kroger retiree and no longer shop Kroger stores. All the employees act like they are angry and very unhappy. You can’t give good customer service if you hate your job. I would rather shop at Walmart even though I said I never would. Their ... — read more
Falling company!

Management
The management at my Kroger store is sh–ty, we are constantly getting new mangers. Right now we are set on three but two of the three are terrible. One is a arrogant narcissist who only cares about himself, and the other one is stuck so far up his... — read more
What are we looking at this week?
Will there be more cuts?
No surprise
I am a long-term employee and I’m not surprised at all by what the company is doing. Feeding the human spirit is not about the employees as much as it is pushed and they want to turn it around and look like it is. Feeding the human spirit is about... — read more

Feed the Human Spirit garbage

Positions
Is general group going to have the same faith as home electronics in fred meyer? Managers dropping to leads? Are only salaried managment only going to be laid off?
they let the wrong people go
letting store managers and assistants go isnt going to fix the problem. #1coordinators are completely unecessary; let the general managers handle that spot. #2 sell products by demographics- you sell products in areas where nobody buys and dont sell... — read more

What did you expect from a board of clowns?
The board of directors is made up of people who are nothing but clowns. Come on what would you expect from Ron Sargent - the CEO who broke Staples and Ashok Vemuri who sank Conduent.
It Starts At The Top
As a long time Kroger employee I find this current move by Kroger heartbreaking. So many people are losing their livelihood. This started at the top and has rolled downhill. I think it's time for the Board of Directors to make Rodney Mcmullen step... — read more
