The problem I am getting is that the file I'm reading, searching, deleting does not exist on the "grocery_note". the code that I need to fix is the .csv file that cannot locate on the computer.
Here is my code:

i have no idea what to do here, on line its saying that the variable 'employee' is not used and i dont know why and when i switch the code to make the add_employee function look like this: (see image)code line 7 change
when i run the code i cant add employees and the string will always say 0 even after i have add details in.
other info: im using both latest version of pycharm and python sdk.

You're calling the main() function but there's no main function defined. I think you want to use menu().
Your if __name__ block should look like this:
if __name__ == "__main__":
menu()
Your export_employee function never uses the employee variable in the loop. Every time you just write out the entire list of employees. Below, we open the file before we iterate over the list.
def export_employee():
with open("file.txt", "w") as output:
for employee in lstEmployees:
output.write(str(employee))

Issues loading text file

This code has an error on the load function but I don't understand what is causing it. I'm importing the class definition from another file, the program does save the file as a text in my computer and the program tells me that it loads the data but when I try to call for a display of the data that's when I'm getting the error.
from roster2 import rosterClass
outFile = open("c:\roster.txt", "wt")

I have taken the liberty of attempting to correct the indentation of your code so that it compiles. Of course it won't run on my computer because I don't have the code that your code imports. However, the diagnostic message you supplied complains that, in ' line 62, in printRoster roster [x].displayData() AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'displayData''.
The only place in your code that displayData appears is in this line of code:
roster [x].displayData()
It matches the error message! The message says that roster[x] is a tuple which raises my curiosity. How is roster[x] defined?
Two different ways:
roster[name] = name, phone, jersey
roster[newName] = rosterClass (newName, newPhone, newJersey )
I've been programming for nearly fifty years, I can guess which way is correct. What do you think?

Why wont my code load properly?

In class we have to create a save/load function utilizing the split() method for a class and dictionary. I managed to get the save function working, but the load function does not seem to want to work for me. I either get it almost working but the saved file does not load, or i get the error

Remove players = {} from your loaddata function, and it'll load properly.
If you actually want to reset the contents of the dictionary when loading (which might have been your intent, although I would say that's a questionable design decision), you can do:
def loaddata():
global players
players = {}
...
This is because any variables you write to are assumed to be local variables (as in, local to the function) unless you say otherwise.
I might be overlooking something, but I'm not seeing anything that attempts to read a player attribute from any object, so I'm not sure where the error is coming from. Was it from a different version of this code? Or, if it is the posted version that has that error, can you provide exactly what series of inputs lead to the error?
The rest of this answer isn't directly relevant to your question, just some tips based on things I noticed in your code.
I would remove the:
name = ""
phone = ""
jersey = ""
Because you set them in __init__ and so they're redundant and not doing anything. For looping over lines in files, you can use a for loop, which is more readable than while loops. Example:
for line in infile:
print(line)
And you should look into with. It's another type of block, and they're very useful when working with files because they'll automatically close the file when the block ends, so you don't have to. As an example:
with open("foo", "r") as stream:
for line in stream:
print(line)
# stream got implicitly closed because the block ended

In your function make_students(), don't pickle the class student:
student(name,stuID, GPA, expectGrade, fTime_pTime)
pickle.dump(student, output_file)
Pickle the created instances:
one_student = student(name,stuID, GPA, expectGrade, fTime_pTime)
pickle.dump(one_student, output_file)
It is better to keep the class capitalized:
from studentClass import Student
now you can write :
student = Student(name,stuID, GPA, expectGrade, fTime_pTime)
pickle.dump(student, output_file)
By convention classes a capitalized and instance are lowercase. This helps to understand what is going on.
