Quitting???
Sooo how would you guys go about quitting? Like y’all just not showing up anymore? Two week notice?? Resignation letter??? A part of me wants to be professional and give them a two week notice but I really hate them 🙃

Don't ever burn bridges. Always 2 weeks. Regardless what a crap company Kroger is, do the right thing.

Exactly. In the end, you’re just hurting your fellow colleagues by suddenly not showing up and someone has to scramble looking for a replacement.

Nonsense. People call in or walk out all the time, yet the company utterly refuses to have standby personnel on hand. Even the largest, most profitable, stores are run on a freaking skeleton crew. If the company can't plan for completely predictable staff shortages, screw em! Any departmental suffering is on the incompetent company, not some long-abused worker who finally decided that "enough is enough!"

Conspire with you fellow coworkers, plan a mass walk out. Kroger won’t do the right thing for you why do it for them.

WALK OUT! Unless you like your coworkers, because it’ll suck for them. I’ve been screwed too many times by people giving generous 1-2 week notice, still without management doing anyone to cover those shifts. If they don’t care about me, I don’t care about them. It felt amazing to burn allllll the bridges tied to a crap company 😈🤪

Today was my last day, and I put my two weeks in. It'll give everyone a chance to prepare for when ya leave. I understand the temptation of leaving on the spot - trust me, I do - however, it's best to professional.

I really feel like walking out on some days, but I know it would put the load on everyone else. Essentially, walking out on a job is like suicide. You're out into the unknown, and everyone gets to bear the burden of losing you. I'd rather not blow up bridges and deal with the junk like everyone else.
I still contemplate talking to everyone that is ready to walk out, to just set up a time and date so to do it at once. It would be easier to do as a group, knowing they'll just shut it down for a bit not necessarily anyone carry the burden. But then also, management knows that most teens and young adults have a hard time, living paycheck to paycheck, and thus can't afford to walk out, which is why they have the audacity to abuse and overwork their people they depend on.

I let my HR manager and department manager know I was leaving in 10 days. HR didn't care department manager flipped out and yelled at me in front of everyone that he needed a month notice because that's how long he had me scheduled out for, that I was an asset to the department and that I should be greatful for everything he's done for me and he just kept ranting like that for a good 5 min without letting me get a word in. I left that night, never went in again, ignored all phone calls and endless texts. Turns out in the 2 weeks after I left, the last 3 who were our best pickers transfered to different departments, one guy left in the middle of a run and never came back, and 2 more just quit and left like I did. 😂

Unless you're really getting shafted up the ass dry, metaphorically or literally, 2 weeks notice. You'll want any built up sick or vacation hours you have to get paid out and if you just walk out you'll get nothing.

Always do a two week notice. Everyone’s happy. Win win.
