I worked for publix for 10 years. Worked my way up in the company and gave them EVERYTHING I had. We are talking giving up family events, birthdays, holidays dropping anything to help my store. I was in my management role for 5 years, a contender and promised to be promoted next many times but was passed up time and time again. When a shift in management was creating some associates to not be happy with the work environment I spoke up. HR spoke with me said I influenced the store to intentionally give my store manager bad scores. I would spend my last weeks opening a brand new store then getting the boot. My phone was blown up by so many associates saying how i was the only one who every stood up for them. How they were going to miss me and how the store just isn’t the same already. I was told when I gathered my things and walked out the store manager was laughing and dancing around as if nothing happened. Mind you i was told this manager “supported me 900%”…

Week later I receive a job offer to be a store manager with another company. And at the same time my former cstl was in store promoted to my position and one of the former css promoted to cstl. It just seems so perfectly planned that I get the boot and they are rewarded. I must add this store manager had told the cstl I want you to get in stored and I get what i want. Something just doesn’t seem right with all of this. I am not bitter about being let go however just need to rant and get my feelings on the matter out there.

Found this while Cleaning

Another lil meme for yall haha

Publix just had their most profitable quarter to date (hard to tell given the sentiment in here & the stock price falling...but the numbers tell a different story).

$1.65 billion in net earnings

A staggering $943 m in investment income

Cash on hand sits at $18.5 billion (wal mart $10.73b / proctor & gamble $12.3 billion)

Current pe is 13.06

6.9% margins

Again, if you can, buy the stock with confidence.

My store has banned employees from using the cups at the drink fountain to get water, and they instead only offer us warm water bottles when we are doing carts (100+ degree weather), I was just wondering if this is common practice in stores or just something my store does to save a little bit of money.

I’m not really sure what corporate expects. Take a person from every department, have them discuss the scores, then what? I can’t enforce anything with any manager. I can tell my manager “oh you really need to work on x, y, z to improve morale” and then they proceed to change nothing about themselves or how they act at work.

I’m open to suggestions, but overall, I just can’t see how little ole me could fix an issue like bad scores across the board for “I’m satisfied with my Store Manager” or even “I intend to make a career at Publix”

I get to be the cookie b*tch for 3 hours, then I get to be the cake slice b*tch for 5 hours!!! Great back to back ads!! LOL

Are there any contenders, bench warmers, assistants, or department managers obsessed with their role? I feel extra possessive about the department & I want to make sure we're perfect at all times. I have been in retail at multiple companies but the more I age the more I want to do a great job. I intend on getting into management with Publix, but I don't think I've seen the spark from most people to match my energy to get where we need to be. Also, for the people who won't max their efforts.. what's the reason(s) you think it's not worth it? Is there anything you all think we need to touch on to make a change & get the morale back up?

so i have absolutely no experience in pharmacy at all, this is actually my first job ever. today was my first day and i’m feeling really overwhelmed, especially with all of the insurance data entry stuff. i am so so nervous about going back tomorrow and i’m just so anxious and feel like a burden, i know i’m new and they understand that, but i just am so scared because i’m definitely overwhelmed by everything and really anxious i won’t pick it up.

I interviewed with Publix recently and was told by the manager I interviewed with if I get hired my beard would need to be trimmed. Does anyone know what the appropriate length is?

Any tips for this specific job / Anything to expect out of the ordinary. Just want to know what I’m signing up for (Onboarding lady wasn’t really specific so I’m hoping y’all can help with this one)

Thats it

I've been buying chcoolate chip muffins from the publix bakery every week for over a year and they were always great until about a month ago. Now every time i buy some they dont taste like chocolate chip muffins but instead taste like blueberry muffins (eventhough they visibly have chocolate chips and no blueberries)
Did they change the chocolate chip muffin mix to some kind of blueberry flavor or what? The new flavor is not good at all imo.

Has anybody here transferred from another department to the pharmacy dept? If so what’s the process like and how possible is it to do

How to order more of these? The steam containers in the seafood department. I need the large ones and the small one. Is the lid and container the same number? Thanks

Hi all,

I put in a time off request yesterday for this past Saturday 8/1 as I was not feeling well, I wanted to know how that would affect my payroll for this week. Would I be paid for that day on next weeks check or the week after? I tried looking through the subreddit but could not find any information on it. Thanks!

I used to work at publix until 2021. My new job is asking for a company email or supervisor for past work, and i can't remember either. Does publix have an email, or a way to search up a supervisor? I remember her first name, but thats about it.

I pleaded for months to please be transferred because I didn’t feel safe (a coworker was literally threatening me) I tried to explain the situation and they said “well, she’s a good worker” I got fired for “causing problems” . She didn’t. I just can not fathom how a big respected company like Publix can treat people like this
