To put it in a nutshell ,if your not related to people in a higher position or a "kiss *** " your screwed. Publix finds ways to pay people less then they deserve.Understaffing cutbacks ,scoring less on a evaluation ,keeping you later then schuduled when they need you and cutting your time later so they do not have to pay overtime,these are some methods used.I have seen females paid the same wages more in some cases , for doing the same job,but not required to do the heavy lifting or filthy cleaning described in job requirements (and they normally get promoted first) I have seen 2 managers fired for having sex on the job fired and given their jobs back later.I have seen a manager fired for sexual harassment fired and hired back at a different location.The ones that defend publix is normally someone who is getting paid well or promoted fast and will fall into the guideline for pay or promotion as discribed above .Here is a example of some of the absurd anal skills of one manager.By the timeclock there is a sign " waiting by the clock for the time to pass instead of clocking out is stealing and may result in temination "I clocked out 4 minutes early because I was finished with my job responsiblties and a manager complained to me and had me go back and stand by my area for the remaining 3 minutes .What a joke.

Publix Complaints

Hey Buckwheat,
You said that Publix needs a UNION! you have to be kidding. That will raise prices even more. Every business has problems, but not everyone who moves up *** up or is a minority or intimidates their manager. It does take a lot of work and talent. As for wasting food... Hmmm! Nope! You're wrong. It is called stale's. Each item has a date code. If it hits that date, the product has to be destroyed. Publix doesn't mark down the products (at least not my my store or any other store I have shopped in). The products going out of date can be donated to groups that feed the homeless or people in need (if the store manager decides to do so).

Publix needs a UNION! I'm NOT a big union fan, but this outfit needs one. I spent over 35yrs in the Fed Govt. They had unions in sector I worked in, and in many cases all they did was protect the worthless.
If you can't intimidate your mgr. at Publix you have to kiss-up. Otherwise they punish you by cutting your hours and passing the buck when you protest.
This outfit also wastes food like nobody's business. They won't even sell the garbage to local farmers, thery're suffering from lawsuit paranoia when it comes to"bieng green" when it comes to garbage recycling!

yeah so about the whole females getting paid the same and not doing the work thing.... thats a load of bull *^%$! im a female i've worked for publix since i was 16, i'm a stock clerk, i started out as a bagger. I've worked my butt off for years. I don't believe in kissing up, and dont practice it. I move the heavy water palets, lift the heavy boxes. clean piss and *** off the floor and everything else you can name. I get paid less than the other guys, am the only female in grocery and you know what i get? my manager going around saying that im only good for stocking the tampons. the person who wrote the complaint, while he has some valid points sounds like a male shovenist pig, much like my manager.

I see much of what you mentioned at my store too. They demand superior customer service but cut hours to the point where there is no one in the department to actually provide it. Associates are not disciplined for unsatisfactory work while others are expected to work harder to make up for it. Complaints to management are ignored. On and on and on...

Did you inform the manager that you were done with everything and asked was it okay if you could leave a couple of minutes early? As a CSM I always have my associates get with me before they leave and usually its okay.
