Kroger will lay off three thousand corporate employees over the next three years. The supermarket chain is announcing the reduction as it expands its use of artificial intelligence to streamline its operations. There is a number, a timeframe, and a group of affected workers. There is still no breakdown of which positions will disappear or how many layoffs are specifically due to AI. The news report, published by ClickOnDetroit, places the announcement at Kroger’s corporate offices. The company has a total workforce of 409,000 people and more than 2,700 stores in the United States, under brands such as Ralphs, King Soopers, Smith’s, and Fred Meyer. Those figures help illustrate its size, but should not be confused with the scope of the measure: the three thousand announced layoffs affect corporate employees. The article does not announce an equivalent reduction among store staff.
