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.

I have heard this often from many folks. If you are remote then start looking jobs else where and apply to other companies. Because if you can do job remotely in US then that same job can be done overseas by someone else with way less money. Also when they start making local Cincy folks to office from 2 days to 5 days , it doesn’t make sense for remote to stay remote.
@bn Who cares? Kroger doesn't even pay industry average for a lot of roles, so you're basically paid an H-1B wage anyhow. Go to a real company, get what you're worth, and do something valuable.
Our current leadership is all expat carpetbaggers no wonder they don't value American workers they're just going to fly back to france or Australia after they get their bag of money from firing us all
@bg cant wait for all you racist aholes to be fired! Literally best feeling…midwest state conservative company led by whites and what do they do? Layoff all you racist mfers and ship jobs to India! Most amazing feeling keep crying while jobs keep going to Indians! There is nothing you can do about it even with rep govt in state and centre 😂! But yes you can cry about it!
Do the minimum and keep report it to DOL, probably won’t work now is the best time for government to looking into this with the current momentum. Also fu-k gcc of any kind . We need to have better worker protection
@b7 they will get around WARN by spreading it out by location and 3 year span
@b3 it takes 2-4 of them to replace a worker onshore and that is being generous.
The announcement was made now to get out in front of the mandated Ohio WARN notices. Kroger will have to file before the end of the year for their planned cuts in February.
@ak I feel like this is misplaced anger. Be angry with the company trying to cut costs hiring off shore, not the people willing to work there. All of the offshore employees I’ve interacted with thus far are more than capable and intelligent.
@ak racist mfer like you needs to be laid off! You deserve all suffering! Mfer most of Kroger leadership is white.. CEO is white kiwi and past CEOs were all white and american they got company into mess and decide to outsource but who do you blame ? Indian…fu--ing mo--ns like you are the reason jobs are being outsourced and instead of questioning the whites who are doing it you d-mbfu-ks go racist gung ho on Indians who absolutely no control in this case!
Saying “quite” quitting but insulting people’s iq based on where they were born. Thing is there are d-mb white people too!
Can everyone stop saying "Quite Quitting". It's Quiet as in silently....
@a1 I've already quite quit when all these low iq indians started appearing to "help"
This is why I jumped ship over two years ago and told everyone else that they would be wise to do the same.
Now their teams are half the size and offshored.
Kroger is a joke of a company to work for, you can all do better.
@a3 it is precedent that layoffs happen during the holidays.
Remember, the people impacted by Yael's "Transformation" layoffs were told their fate on the week of Thanksgiving 2020.
Class act there, Yael.
Greg on the call:
“We love you 3,000. Also, get fu---d.”
It’s a real a--hole move to talk layoffs that will most likely happen right around Christmas or shortly after
It would be a shame if everyone poisoned the documentation and knowledge transfers on the way out… hope no one does that!
This is the biggest quite quitting incentive I’ve ever seen.
Really hope this doesnt lead to people quiet quitting.
