Treatment of Employees

If Publix is lying to the public then isn't that illegal? I would think that false advertising is illegal. Hummmm...

bad company

I've been there a week and I have had to lecture people at past places on sanitation procedures. I'm closing the meat dept (was a mgr elsewhere in another state) and the night manager asks who trained me to close. The drains are dirty... They are!? I ask. They
are 99.9 % cleaner than any other store I've ever seen! They NITPICK. I have 20 years experience butchering and 4 in meat management and I am amazed at how little meat gets cut and how much butchers do meat wrapping duties. And they want you
to stay til 10:30 PM and then come back at 8 AM again? They don't seem to know that wearing a hat look 900% better than a hairnet
alone. Don't get me wrong, most the people are kind who work there, but the procedures and work hours expected of a person in
a skilled position just don't impress me. Not only that, I could mention numerous stores that look better. Please no more hospital white everywhere. I should also mention that in my dept, I pretty much have to learn all the procedures myself as no one really takes the time to train. Meat people: ask during your interview what hours you will work. They don't tell you that you'll be there til close and then again at opening.

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who feels this way.
I'm 20 years old, I've been working for Publix 1196 (The first and only job I've ever had) since I was 16.
Now, I may more biased than the most of you, for I've never worked for any other companies...
Regardless, I feel as though Publix is VERY unfair in the way they manage their employees.
I'm not going to sit here and tell you I'm the best worker in my store like most of you seem to claim, I know I have flaws and I know I can improve... Problem is, I no longer have the desire to.
4 years with this company and I currently make $8.80 an hour. I barely make enough money to LIVE in this world. Now, most of you are worried that you don't get enough hours... I can tell you honestly, you CAN work as many hours as you want at Publix. There are ENDLESS ways to make your 35h/week. whether it be working in another department an extra day, or asking your manager if you can stay a few hours to help, trust me, you'll get hours if you really need them.
But what's the point in killing myself for a company only to receive $200-250 a week? My fucking car insurance is $233 a month. That's a QUARTER of my monthly income.
I finally reached my boiling point when my Deli manager hired FOUR (NEW, not current employees transferred from another store) employees to our department making $9.50 an hour.
These new employees who can't tell the difference between a smoked ham and their left testicle are all making more than I am after being a dedicated, hard-working, and most importantly, LOYAL employee my ENTIRE working life.
And as if it's not already degrading enough to WORK with these new employees, my manager decided it would be a good idea for ME to train them.
Imagine that; I'm training employees that make more than I do. It's disgusting.
It had been bothering me for weeks and it was beginning to affect my work productivity.
I was depressed, unmotivated, and all-around ANGRY that this was being happening to me.
Bringing my concerns to my manager's attention only fueled my anger. She basically told me "Get over it or find a new job."

I could continue for hours, but I just wanted to share my support for any others who may feel the same as I do, and because most of the comments I've read seem a bit one-sided and exaggerated. I'm going to quit working at Publix very soon because I honestly feel like I'm going to do something bad if I don't...
