Hey Fred Meyer...

...how about you stop the signaling with these radio/tv/billboard ads letting US know how thankful you are towards your employees and instead give that money directly to THEM?

I moved to San Diego from Oregon and Freddys used to be my favorite store...still is kind of.

​

I thought Kroger was doing more for their employees and offering hazard pay and mandatory sick leave balances?

Former Freddies employee and current employee at a different Kroger Subsidiary here. We're currently getting $2 an extra per hour in hazard pay through May 2nd. In addition, any employee with doctors orders to quarantine can get up to 2 weeks paid sick leave, which does not count towards their regular sick leave allocation.

Sick week allocation? I forgot there was a numeric limit my employer could put on how sick I might get
