It used to be when I asked people for help most of them would go out of their way to help. Definitely seeing a “ not my job” vibe since the layoff announcement. Anybody else notice that too?

PLEASEEEE

Welp, here it is. This is the recruiting site used in India. Scroll to the bottom to see open jobs https://talent500.com/kroger/

I stopped shopping at Kroger over a year ago after I noticed insane prices particularly in produce. I now exclusively get my my meat, produce and snacks at Costco and fill the rest from Walmart and Aldi. Pretty sad what Kroger has done, I... — read more 

Almost a year out from the layoffs last year around Thanksgiving. When does everyone think the first wave will be? Still amazed how “americas favorite grocery store” gave the message right before the holidays.

Seems there could be two separate things going on here. 3000 layoffs AND all the tech jobs going to India.

Now watch more and more jobs being shipped overseas. The more they hire there the more they change the DNA of the company. First they sent blue collar jobs overseas, now they are doing it with white collar jobs. We are losing technical competency and... — read more 

It’s been fairly quiet and we haven’t heard much from our department management other than they don’t know if our team will be impacted. Has anyone heard if their team will be?

Was told told that low level/grade people would be the first people to go in the layoffs

Just curious about what everyone used development day for today? Did you use AI to make a new resumé? Maybe work on skills more marketable at other places? Practice Leet Code? Maybe doom scroll all the new green circles on LinkedIn?

Politicians campaign on protecting American jobs. Call your local reps and state senators over the concerns of Cincinnati and Ohio’s largest employer sending jobs overseas. It’s election season and we can use our voices to pressure politicians. Jon... — read more 

I never saw any of the details of the past, more recent packages. Anyone know what those were as maybe they will carry that offering forward?

Would you still stick around.

Not sure if they will stagger things? Who will be affected first?

If they let me go, can I ask for more severance. This is my first time I am encountering layoffs so I was wandering if the worker has any options with this?

Or is it the good old greed only.

there is useful stuff on this board, there is a lot of rumors but if you read between the lines i see new stuff all the time. do your team members know about the site? i guess we'd all benefit if more people chime in and share what we know. i am also... — read more 

What do you think will be the scope, headcounts, etc. I personally think that it'll turn out to be bigger, in every sense, than most of us are expecting and I really do not see them having any bets as it relates to major technology investment in the... — read more

Anyone hear whether non-grocery divisions like Jewelry are part of the restructuring?

No job is truly safe from this. Not a single one. Doesn’t matter the skills you posses or knowledge. If you think you're an exception, you might be in for a rude awakening.

A few people already said right on this board they wouldn't mind volunteering. So why not give them that option?

So Kroger is planning to eliminate 3,000 corporate jobs over the next three years. Apparently around 10,000 people were invited to the announcement call, which would make this a pretty significant reduction. From what employees are saying, this... — read more 

Now what? Do we show up tomorrow with a smile? Do we quiet quit? Do we hope our managers speak up after never speaking up? What’s the point now

I have a hunch this announcement was made prematurely in hopes people will jump ship, quit and therefore be given no severance or unemployment. Ride it out yall.

Was announced on a zoom call today that 3,000 corporate employees will be laid off.

Who got the email just a few minutes ago? Any ideas?

I always hate it when there's nothing, not even rumors. Makes me feel like something major is coming and we're just being kept in the dark about it.

Yael is coming to the Charlotte office this week. Office tours have actively happened… Office closure?

Layoffs are going to come in waves. First a general headcount reduction and a focus on simplifying systems and documentation as we go, then more and more layoffs as they bring on more and more Indians to hopefully maintain what shell is left hoping... — read more 

I keep hearing this month they're letting people go but nobody can tell me more

I saw a notification in my LinkedIn stating a person from BCG (Boston Consulting Group) visited my profile. Is this a signal, good or bad? BCG is linked to structural changes and cost-cutting push at Kroger.

New ceo said he wants to save 500M in labor cost, 6,000 jobs expected to move to new india office in next 12 months.

Hearing rumors they are not looking at just badge swipes any more and are now looking at ip addresses of laptops and where people are accessing the network from. Has anyone heard more about this?

The new ecomm chief means Yael is replaced or demoted right?

I have heard september but anyone has any new info? I also heard it can be labour day weekend like last year

Do you all feel comfortable answering these questions honestly? It feels like we could just be giving them ammunition in their quest to eliminate some of us.

The layoff news seems to be spreading rapidly now, it'd be great if we could all spam the All Hands meeting chat asking about the layoffs in the news opposed to asking about coffee.
