I remember a few years ago an 18 year old employee at a store in Tampa had committed suicide inside a bathroom within the store. They shut the store down for a few hours to clean up the corpse and then expected people to continue working their shift. It’s just so crazy to me how people truly and sincerely convince themselves that a company as large as this one would ever pretend to care about its employees to any degree when they do things like that after the death of an employee of theirs.

What’s the point of them. No one at store level cares about some random person in a completely irrelevant position to me or anyone else at store level. We have enough bs to deal with now everyone has to stop doing what they are doing to make some random person feel special like the mean anything. It’s ridiculous.

I'm a minor, and I was crosstrained in deli about 6 months ago. I don't like working in deli. I wanted to work in a store to NOT work in a fast paced food environment where people get mad about how subs are made. But the people in my store's deli are good people who are always obviously understaffed, so I'm an easy way to have the sub station managed while they do whatever else. I've been cross-working in deli longer than half the actual deli workers.

But my most recent schedule, I have 24 hours completely in deli. As a minor in school, 24 hours is too much for me. I'm technically a cashier. I work till 9 one Friday and work 7 am the next morning, and then work over 7 hours that day. I work everyday I am available that week.

I wholly understand that for an average adult, that may be typical. But I'm not an adult. And I have school. I would think the deli manager would realize that for some reason.

This may be one of the worst job experiences I've had and it's surprising because everyone I talk to praises Publix. I worked in a frozen warehouse for a few months and my god the management was incompetent as can be and the training was lackluster at best. For the first week I trained with a trainer for about 5 hours then they pulled the trainer to go work and had me sweep the dock. Day after day id have a trainer for 2-3 hours then sweep the dock for the rest of a 10 hour shift. Then they extended mine and another person's training to account for them not being able to have trainers stay with us then repeated the same process to the point where my first three weeks were "training" and 70% of it was me cleaning. After that they push and push for you to meet the percentage and then tell you "listen to your body go warm up you have 60 minutes of time a day" and if you do, it plummets your percentage. Everyone that works there cuts each other off on equipment and pulls in front of you because they're all percentage too and thus you're competing with your coworkers but it's masked as "we're a family" and having that shoved in our face while actively being thrown into a competition. Absolutely ridiculous company and I wouldn't recommend anyone to work there

I took on a part time second job for financial reasons. I was hired to train in a store across town to be transferred to a new rebuilt store closer to home. Started in May of this year, trained and worked and was supposed to be transferred in July. The transfer didn’t happen and when I questioned it they said they didn’t have me in the list to transfer.

To put things a bit in perspective, I live in a VERY seasonal town. Getting across town to this store is almost impossible with traffic.

I am a cashier and I am good at it. I’m fast. His has caused me so much turmoil. The teenagers stick with one another and will only bag for each other. They work harder at trying NOT to work than doing their actual job. Nobody calls them out on anything so I end up working my ass off the entire shift including bagging on my own. I am never offered my 10 minute break.

I am EXHAUSTED. I just don’t know if this was worth it and am unsure if I should stay. They did tell me a month or so ago they would like to train me behind the customer service counter but now I’m questioning if I even want to stay and do this at all.

Same Club pays a couple dollars more an hour but I can’t seem to get my foot in the door.

New stock price comes out Friday. I think it will go down to $19.45. what do you think the new price will be?

So within the past week apparently my store manager said that we cannot have airpods/headphones in at all before/after closing hours. Was confused because I thought the rule only stipulated while we are open? If we can't do that anymore I am gonna be majorly disappointed, jamming to tunes while organizing, cleaning, and throwing what is left of the grocery truck was one of the little victories I could get here.

I have been working in the deli since july and it has been an experience for sure.. i read the horror stories and stuff and even my store managers have told me that it is the most difficult department to work in, specifically the kitchen. Id say it might be up there with grocery because i cant even begin to comprehend what kind of entity that is. The grocery managers always seem out of breath.

Ive only ever worked in restaurants, which is probably why i was sorted into the deli. Funny thing about my store is that they also want me to work produce so i will do that every once in a while and it feels like a vacation. I will say at least my deli operates just like any restaurant and i feel like i enjoy working in it. The pay definitely leaves room for desire, but it is actually the best for any "starter job" in my area. The stories werent lying though, they really do test our limits and allow the system to create impossible demands, and the customers get extremely angry at my location. They will pout, cross their arms, snap, and yell. Nothing i havent seen before but still pretty obnoxious. I am grateful that they dont control my paycheck like they would with table service. Those are the same people to be like "how much of a tip do you think you deserve ???" Or you make one mistake and they give you zero dollars. It is so nice to just be able to walk away and forget about them. If they have some bs to say they can take it to a manager.

I recently started in the kitchen and it is insane. Its pretty chill on normal days but like i mentioned, our system is terrible and there are days where the kitchen is expected to perform impossible tasks. Even up front the online orders, closing duties, and customer lines push the limit every weekend it seems. I like our store manager though and shes helped me out when i needed it. I want to know how the deli has been treating everyone here 😁😁

Happy Halloween btw

My store doesn't sell it anymore and I miss getting Publix Cream Soda it was the best one (to me anyways)

Anybody's Store still sell it?

Every week without fail at 10pm on Tuesday nobody can check their new schedule!!! Works fine all week but come Tuesday CRASH!!! publix needs a website that will not crash when the new schedule comes out its so arrivating!!!

My sister had to get an uber all the way to work only to find out she is not scheduled today “oh, we took you off the schedule today you’re working tomorrow instead and someone forgot to tell you” I’m sorry, what? 😡 maybe you don’t have to worry about every penny, my guy, but a lot of us do. This isn’t even the first second third time this happened! She is LIVID! So, then of course she had to get an uber home… are they going to pay for that? Of all the irresponsible unprofessional… this is what they do to get people to quit. You can’t tell me it’s a mistake— a mistake doesn’t happen all the time. They did it to me when I worked for them.

Was just involved in a car accident two days ago. Went to ER and got cleared but they did find herniated discs in my lower back and I have papers stating so. More appointments for the physical therapy and in a lot of pain.

I just started part time at this publix earlier this month. No idea what to do. Im fine with unpaid leave but I dont want to get fired. Already called out twice. Is there medical leave I can take where they cannot fire me during it? I am in so much pain.

Thanks

Does anyone else work in cs at a store that has seniors dropped off several days a week from retirement homes? It causes a huge burden on labor and they’re lowkey wild. I feel for them so we schedule extra when they come two days a week but shouldn’t these facilities have people that go with them and help them instead of dropping them off warzone style

Hey just curious, if you were one of our FADM’s how long were you in that position before they placed you. I was one for 2 almost 3 years.

I have an associate that is late 15 times.

Is that true that Publix will discharge the associate if they are late 15 times ?

Or if the person is absence more than 5 times. Will that affect them ?

Called my last boss 4 hours in to get my job back and quit. Def not the place for me.

Go ahead, mods. Take it down.

Highly recommend the Chantilly one 😂

I walked out of my closing shift, was just so done with it tbh. Im tired of customers attitudes yelling over meat and cheese. The money was good but that deli made me suicidal, Im looking for other jobs and applying to college now.

I recently applied for a job at Publix and was wondering how long it took for Publix to get back to you. I’ve waited about a week and haven’t gotten a text message or an email even though I consented to being sent them. Is this normal or have I done something wrong? If my application wasn’t accepted will they let me know or just never send anything?
