If your direct line of management is all of the sudden talking about documentation an technical diagrams and such, your group is being targeted.
Just remember, not only are we employees but customers. 3,000 reoccuring sales, Boost memberships and countless other items that are calculated into their metrics.
At this point the 10% is not worth it. Stop shopping with Kroger and let the overseas folks handle it. If that is what is coming, we won't convince leadership otherwise.
The next 3 years if you work for Kroger you cannot plan a vacation, start a family, purchase a home, or have any plans that require money because you could be laid off.
@aq sorry to hear. How do you know that you are impacted? Did your manager let you know today?
In one of the previous "once every three years" layoffs, I was impacted. I was told to stick around for a month, because I had to transition my knowledge to my backfill, and I had to interview for another job before I qualified for severance.
That was the laziest 30 days of my entire career.
Seriously fu-k this company. I have worked my a-s off trying to make my little corner of KR as great as it can be, saving the company MILLIONS of dollars over the years (at least that's what they told us). I have worked 13 to 14 hour days on major incident calls for their sh---y indian coded applications that need handling 24/7 just to run smoothly. I have spent years fixing sh---y code developed by some dude who doesn't understand what a grocery store looks like. I have done support during Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Years, the 4th of July, I have convinced everyone I know to join boost and shop online. Then these a--clowns come in and start shipping jobs offshore. Get fu---d. I will ride it out until the very end and do the bare minimum like the low skill people we are picking to replace us. They will never see a dime from anyone I know. Great idea a--clowns. Get FU---D.
We was tole we was safe. I dont belive you
TREASON
@a2 - what a sh-t show! Greg wants to turn us into Walmart. Wouldn’t be shocked if we all had to go government assistance like Walmart employees who can’t even afford the company health plans
@a4 I think about 30%
There were ~10000 invited to the call. 3000 people will be laid off within the next 3 years.
Does anyone know how many GO/KTD/84.51 people there are in total? Like what % of reduction this is?
@a2 when is that 3 year count down starts?
@OP 3000 over 3 years. All going to India. Will be brutal waiting to see if you still have a job.
...over 3 years
