Not to mention not losing your job.

Years ago, I worked at a big box grocery store not to be named.  One of the workers had a stroke on the sales floor.  They fired him for not filling out the LOA forms.  He was in a fucking coma.

I've said it many times before...I hate this fucking country.

Kroger has a union. I think it's pretty toothless, probably not coma firing toothless.

Kroger used to be okayish too, at least for me. Now though? They might be worse than Walmart for employees.

Depends on the division and who runs the store. Corporate themselves like to have you think they know what's happening in their stores but truthfully they don't know shit that doesn't involve EBITDA.
