A Kroger store management overhaul involving hundreds of firings, demotions, and transfers has sparked fear, uncertainty, and "chaos" in some stores, according to current and recent employees., has affected hundreds of people in management positions, some of whom had worked for the company for decades, sources said. Store managers and assistant store managers are among the roles impacted by the cuts.
Kroger said the staffing changes were designed to keep resources close to the customer and help deliver a better store experience. Some workers whose jobs haven't been directly impacted by the changes said they are fearful that the company could be planning additional cuts or reshuffling more positions.
Some of the positions that have been affected by the changes include store managers, assistant store managers, and district coordinators, who oversee specific departments across multiple stores, sources said."Our focus on the store experience is why our stores continue to hire for hourly positions today," the Kroger spokesperson said. "Today, we have more than 10,000 hourly store positions open across our family of stores. These are not management roles but front-line associates.
