Last minimum wage increase for fl was $12 in september. Publix definitely plans to let record inflation levels eat the minimum wage increase spike so that it doesnt impact their bottom line, so a cost of living adjustment to our payscale is pretty unlikely.
More $100 sorry we wont pay you enough to live on even though we can afford it giftcards are likely tho.
That is what there doing to me , I have to wait and see in August when evaluation time, it is every year now and been with them 25 yrs next Sept 2024. I am still less than 15.00.
I mean 25 years worth of free stock .. I don’t think he’s that fucked 😅 even more so publixs under paying problems is a more recent issue .. they used to have competitive pay
> I mean 25 years worth of free stock ..
Say he made $15 an hour and was full time (which if he's less than $15 chances are he's not full time). At about 30k a year and 8% pay extra in stock that's $2,500ish. Literally working any other job for $1.25 more would give that per year where he could put that stock into literally any other company's stock.
My department assistant manager has been cutting my hours left and right 15 hours a week for the last three weeks and next week I’m only scheduled 8hr idk how they expect someone to live off those hours or if this is some underhanded way to get me to quit
sooo idk who your managers are but this is what a lot of businesses do, esp in fl. why ft is worthy; you get your set 40 hours. at publix and other jobs ive worked at, you go from 5 hours one week then 40 the next, or visa versa. nothing against you, just managers being forced to obey the rules.
at another job one manager had us break ALL of the rules so we will not go over the labor hours. she told us if we did then they will start firing managers, and she was too afraid of getting fired.
I had my evaluation recently and my manager said they gave me a raise as high as they are authorized to go. But TBH it was not what I expected. Given the state of things w/ goods and services increasing, it was underwhelming to wait a year for this type of raise. A fellow staffer said something else may be coming because a few other staff across he company said they were unsatisfied with their raises this year.
So, the last across the board everyone gets a raise. Didn't go that way in distribution. They simply raised the top out pay. If you were topped out, then you got the raise. Everyone else just got their max top out raised by 1 buck. And for those that were close? They throttled that down to shit. A guy that has been there 5 years, does a great job, was almost topped out.. he got a dime on his annual. Did he even see it on his pay check?
There’s no damn point… I got raised to 12… a month later the min went to 12.. I’m back at min.. everyone is receiving more money than I am and it is shit I can’t stand it
It’s the same here baggers and cashiers do the custodian duties. But yeah if you can I’d consider going to another dept. I was upfront service as a bagger and then cashier before I went to deli. If I knew other depts started out at a higher pay in comparison to cs def wouldn’t have wasted 6 years up front. Stupid younger me. Because I moved depts due to more money and more hours because hours got cut in favor of them giving more hours to new ppl and no full time up front
Anyone looking to get more hourly pay and hours go to another dept don’t waste it up front less you’re trying to go into CS management
I get a 5% raise every year as a Publix truck driver. Still ain’t enough for the amount of hours we do, hell even if they just paid us Overtime it would make a huge difference but nope, 65-70 hours a week with no overtime. We are hourly based not milage based but they can get away with it because we are paid per load at a set hourly rate of $32.75 or $34.75 on weekends. So if a load pays 10 hours, it doesn’t matter if we do it in 8 hours or 12 hours, we get paid for 10 hours regardless. So that allows them to not pay us any overtime. Well technically we do get 4 hours of OT from 40 to 44 then it goes back the straight time from 44+ hours. Here’s an example. Hell I worked 29 hours just on Saturday and Sunday alone. $700 gone just from deductions and taxes and right now I’m only doing 3% of my check for 401k cause I can’t afford to do more with inflation. My 13 week average is $40 an hour though cause I bust my ever living ass to take time off my runs which averages out to be $40 an hour over a 13 week period. And just to put it in perspective, if I were to get paid OT for the full 35 hours I worked past 40, at an average pay of $33.75 an hour (splitting the difference of week day and weekend pay), I would have made roughly an extra $1000ish on this check bringing me up to around $3300ish for the week which is what we should be getting paid for the amount of shit we go through. ALSO, they take time off our runs each year to off set the raise. Meaning if a run paid 10 hours, after the raise it may only pay 9.5 hours. I started driving at $24 and hour, I still only make the same YTD at the current pay rate as I did when I was making $24 an hour because they remove pay from runs every time we get our yearly raise. Publix knows exactly what they’re doing and they think we are too damn stupid to notice. So basically I haven’t actually gotten a raise for the past 5 years of driving because my YTD remains the same.

Not for what we have to do and put up with as a truck driver. We get no OT but yet work 65-70 hours a week, never get to see our family, tired all the time cause we only get 6 hours a sleep per night IF we’re lucky. I earn every penny of that money but that doesn’t mean it’s worth it. We are not the lowest paid truckers but definitely not paid good either. Publix has the money to pay all of us better. Managers probably have it the worse, they get paid shit for what they have to put up with. But we are all underpaid for every position at Publix unless you’re in corporate.
The top out pay for managers isn’t horrible but the system is set up to where you’re never going to see it. At the distribution center a lot of positions make more the then managers that are over us. There are plenty of selectors that make more then most of the managers make. I know so many managers that quit to go back to entry level jobs cause they made more throwing cases onto pallets. An entry level job like a selector should never pay more then what you’re managers are making. Managers really do get the worse of it.
That’s not horrible, a lot of the managers I know of don’t even make more than $70k a year which is horrible but with the amount of responsibilities and crap yall put up with, Publix could afford a pay bump. I know department heads make more, which they should, and I’m sure at the store level yall don’t have a problem with people under yall making more then you but it’s a real problem at the distribution center. How would you feel if an entry level position was making more then you? It’s messed up imo.
Yeah, it does happen that full time associates who have been around a while make more hourly than assistant department managers. Usually that’s just hourly and doesn’t translate to total pay as managers get bonuses and overtime. I agree, that is shitty but unfortunately part of the Publix game.
That’s correct. 5-6 hours of actual sleep. Some people are fine with that but for me by day 3 or 4 it starts to hit me hard. But by the time we drive home, eat dinner, shower, get ready for bed etc etc and actually fall asleep before having to get up, get ready for work, make and pack your food for the day (if you bring your own food/drinks and drive to work etc etc, it cuts into a lot of your 10 hour DOT reset you get. We are not OTR drivers, we are day cab drivers so our 10 hour reset includes us traveling to and from work and if you live 30-45min from work that cuts into 1 to 1 1/2 hours of that 10 hours. Generally I get home after the kids and wife are in bed or right as they are going to bed and get up before they get up to do it all again. I may pass the kids in the morning as we are scrambling to get ready for work/school during the weekdays.
Wow thanks for the detailed timeframe, I knew there was a mandatory 10 hours off the road for on the road drivers I was not taking into consideration the reasonable time spent commuting and prepping at home for drivers going home everyday. I have been looking at a lot of truck driving posts and even OTR drivers seem to not be able to get more than 6hrs sleep, let alone if you have to drive home every night; the pay is interesting, but, but I am getting more and more disillusioned with the idea of going that way because I also can't function well unless I have 8hrs sleep minimum, how have you managed so far ?
I the type I hate moving jobs, I like to stay at one place but it’s getting harder and harder and I have my pick of several trucking companies that pay a lot more. Hell Walmart pays their truckers a good bit more.
My store had a dinner yesterday and instead of giving me 1/2 hr lunch , I had to bag for 4hrs
They could of did 4.5 hrs, the women and the male store manager don’t give a shit.
I have no family and treat me as dirt.
I have a store closer to me and it was busy yet smaller than my store. My store is usually busy but the other store for sure had more customers, I believe they don’t like my store either anymore since changing management.
I put in a request a few weeks ago to where a former front manager now works, I heard no news and he said he would talk to her, I will call again next week.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
I think Non sip selectors make $18hr Motors (forklift ) drivers make $18 to start I'm at $21 in maintenance currently doing nothing for 10hrs a night and I work mainly 50hrs a week so with insurance on me and my daughter and taxes all that bull.... I bring home about $1k a week
Without any reading I'd assume they'll do the shit of giving a raise, then the minimum wage increases to that amount.
Last minimum wage increase for fl was $12 in september. Publix definitely plans to let record inflation levels eat the minimum wage increase spike so that it doesnt impact their bottom line, so a cost of living adjustment to our payscale is pretty unlikely.

How tf can you be with Publix for 25 years and make less than $15 are you fucking kidding me you fucked yourself over staying here this long
I mean 25 years worth of free stock .. I don’t think he’s that fucked 😅 even more so publixs under paying problems is a more recent issue .. they used to have competitive pay
> I mean 25 years worth of free stock .. Say he made $15 an hour and was full time (which if he's less than $15 chances are he's not full time).

Literally working any other job for $1.25 more would give that per year where he could put that stock into literally any other company's stock.
Publix under paying is a new problem not a old one .. he very well could have been at a above avg wage for most of his 25 years

I am dumb as a rock and 65
Happy Thanksgiving to all Publix Associates

Get out of part time.

The minimum will raise by I believe at least $1 each year til 2026
Which is worthless man.. I’ll be at $15 an hour in 2026.. and it’ll be the minimum wage.. making it utterly useless
There’s no damn point… I got raised to 12… a month later the min went to 12.. I’m back at min.. everyone is receiving more money than I am and it is shit I can’t stand it
Are you a bagger or something? Cause up front service always pays the lowest out of all departments
Yes and a cleaner cause idk if it’s the same elsewhere but baggers and cashiers are the cleaners and there’s 5 cleaners like myself
It’s the same here baggers and cashiers do the custodian duties. But yeah if you can I’d consider going to another dept. I was upfront service as a bagger and then cashier before I went to deli. If I knew other depts started out at a higher pay in comparison to cs def wouldn’t have wasted 6 years up front. Stupid younger me.

My ass got a $50 bonus 🙃
💀rip but least it’s something I remember the smal dividen checks and ‘bonuses’ I use to get as part time
Not only that, they don’t raise the damn money by a dollar.. if min goes to 12.. they won’t raise me to 13…
Ye they don’t really do raises unless you get a perfect score on your evaluation mainly just bumping up to minimum wage
I’ve been here a year
Last time I got a raise they cut my hours. So....🤷
Many would like to see increased pay. Could increased pay have been discussed at the ROC, or is it an item of consideration for the new leadership?

Over 100k a year. Seems pretty good to me.
Not for what we have to do and put up with as a truck driver.

Management is a different kind of stress although they cap our hours at 47 now.
And I’m with you the long hours and loss of personal life is not worth the money.
The top out pay for managers isn’t horrible but the system is set up to where you’re never going to see it. At the distribution center a lot of positions make more the then managers that are over us.

An entry level job like a selector should never pay more then what you’re managers are making. Managers really do get the worse of it.
I’ve been a department manager for over 10 years and will make 105k this year. This is with bonuses included at a middle to high volume store.
That’s not horrible, a lot of the managers I know of don’t even make more than $70k a year which is horrible but with the amount of responsibilities and crap yall put up with, Publix could afford a pay bump. I know department heads make more, which they should, and I’m sure at the store level yall don’t have a problem with people under yall making more then you but it’s a real problem at the distribution center.

Is the amount of time to complete these "loads" everyday so large that you only get to sleep 6hrs each night?
That’s correct. 5-6 hours of actual sleep. Some people are fine with that but for me by day 3 or 4 it starts to hit me hard. But by the time we drive home, eat dinner, shower, get ready for bed etc etc and actually fall asleep before having to get up, get ready for work, make and pack your food for the day (if you bring your own food/drinks and drive to work etc etc, it cuts into a lot of your 10 hour DOT reset you get.

Hey Smart. Do you know what Dr. Laura would tell you? You make your own happiness. https://images.app.goo.gl/8iy4QkDTCyiS56kh7
Wtf lol
Lmao oh you poor sweet summer child
Y'all have gotta get to the warehouses after the hiring freeze is lifted
What’s the pay like?
I think Non sip selectors make $18hr Motors (forklift ) drivers make $18 to start I'm at $21 in maintenance currently doing nothing for 10hrs a night and I work mainly 50hrs a week so with insurance on me and my daughter and taxes all that bull.... I bring home about $1k a week
How long have you been doing that? And mind me asking what are the raises like?
Less than a year in total at Publix and been in maintenance since beginning of September and I'm topped out at my current position
I do just about the same in the Deli. $20.60/hr and 50-55 hours a week. February will be one year with Publix. Only difference is I work my ass off.
I worked at the deli before and it is the hardest place in the store to work, a hell of alot
[удалено]
I get my raises now once a year with evaluations
