Look up Sam Kinnison on YouTube.

What do I enter? I am familiar with him but I am drawing a blank on the grocery store.

“...representing Black, Latinx, Asian, LGBTQ, and physically and intellectually disabled associates, plus veterans, women, parents, and Millennials...”

Sounds like Whites, Singles and Boomers are about to get discriminated against. That’s alright, there are Federal laws that handle that. Maybe somebody should read the EEOC notice that’s required to be displayed in their stores.

My company pays out $500 if you refer someone and they get hired.

They just started an initiative that if you refer a diversity hire, you get double that-$1000.

Mind you, every other person is already POC. Half the IT department is from Nigeria.

They don’t matter. Only the P.C.-approved victim groups.

[I want the USA back]

A massive unemployment plan for Whitey.

Dumbasses. Did any of them, a single one, ever consider what their *customers* want? Some of their stores decided to demand employees wear “rainbow” covered aprons with LGBT-whatever messages on them, and at least some of their customers said “Kroger, no more.”

The customer is always right. What employees think can matter, as do investors. But extortionist outside groups should have zero say in company policies.

Does this mean they are going to ruin their Harris Teeter stores, too?

[riri]

I give it five years, maybe a little longer if Trump pulls through before we see something along the lines of what South Africa calls Black Economic Empowerment Laws. Meaning, the number of whites allowed to be hired, no matter how qualified, is limited.

And, yes, that is 100% WHY areas of J-Burg are now hauling water rather than having it come from the tap.

[OKSooner]

Sell.

Kroger enacts sweeping plan to do nothing

[moovova]

Kroger's diversity/inclusion crap does not override Federal law...

[ConservativeStatement]

Judging by the image on its home page regarding inclusion and diversity, we have women, blacks...I am not sure if any are homosexual. But that covers the usual victim base. https://www.harristeeter.com/inclusion

[Buckeye McFrog]

The workforce in retail is over 80% female.
Was that way when I was in the biz decades ago.
Not much different now I reckon.

[Adder]

intellectually disabled associates,

All in the front office, I assume...

[KarlInOhio]

Latinx

Latinx is a culturally imperialistic effort to force a Germanic neuter gender into the Spanish language. The little Spaniards must bow down to the superior German language and learn el Latino, la Latina and das Latinx.

(Will that trigger any leftists into biting their own tail?)

And for Kroger, how about cleaning all the crap from your ailses. You can't walk twenty feet anymore without crashing into some display.

[ConservativeInPA]

This of course does not include white men.

[redangus]

White, straight, Christian males need not apply. By extension we also don’t need to shop there either. Kroger’s was one of the first companies to go all in on BLM/Antifa back in May, and now they’re totally in on the Leftist agenda of victimization. I’ve been going to Kroger’s since I was five, but I’m sure they won’t miss me. Thankful we have a Fresh Thyme close by.

WHY?

Better yet, Aldi.
