But totally Kroger. For the last six years we in the overnight crew have tried to take breaks uninterrupted as defined by federal law, 15 minute uninterrupted break. Well at our store we have a boss that sits outside with us and every night he interrupts our break by talking about work. Specifically what we are to do once we are off break. We have tried all these years to get management to do something about the man but they will not. Now it is to the point where I have to drive off in my car to avoid him. He has walked out to my car to talk to me about work during my break. So i have to drive across the parking lot to avoid him. He gives all of us stalker vibes when he does this. Others also go to their car or to the break room. But he stalks people there in the break room.We have called the union multiple times with nothing to show for it. He always says that he will stop coming out with us but it doesn't last one or two nights and he is out here again with us and talking about what to do when we get back from break. So. Do I call HR or the labor board. I really miss the entire crew out there joking and laughing and enjoying ourselves. Unfortunately we have a boss that does not allow that. Thanks for letting me rant about our stalker boss.
I really feel as an adult you should be able to handle this. Where have all the grown ups gone? I seriously doubt any night crew boss has the time or energy to walk out to the parking lot to give you instruction and if you need that kind of instruction on a continuous basis well maybe night crew isn’t for you.
That's kinda the point. Everything they've tried as reasonable adult to reasonable adult has not worked.
See this is where common sense is handy…. Why would a grocery manager waste his time/energy walking out to the parking lot to discuss business when he could simply use the intercom? If you know anything about that position, you k ow frivolous time wasting is not an option. More to this story. It’s more likely that walk across the parking lot was to tell him break was over 15 minutes ago, get back to work.
