Q&A With Fred Meyer Employees

How much and how often do raises happen at Fred Meyer?
To help the employee shortage because of the pandemic, they raised the starting wage to $15.00. Which was the top out pay for current associates. So in response they gave everyone 50 cent raises. They promised another raise in September for its long term associates. Then it got postponed to the end of fall, late November. November came and went, the next thing I hear is after Christmas. Now it's January 2022,and we heard there will be no raises for its long-term associates. I have worked for the company 15 years, and a 16 year old kid can come in and make 50 cents less than me. They have been dangling raises over our heads. But yet the president of fred meyer made 22 million last year and they can't give us 50 more cents at least. What about all our hard work over the years dedicated to this company only to be slapped in the face with no raises. This is the cheapest company ever
non union store here, our store went 3 years with no raises. Corporate camera in finally, we only got a 10 cent raise. Biggest joke ever.
