I worked for Publix for SEVEN LONG YEARS. First job since high school. Started as cashier got all the way to Customer service team leader then demoted myself because of all the crap with management not on the same page, lack of communication, favoritism, discrimination of clothing when fat managers can wear spandex and an attractive woman manager gets hated on because she has the curves in the right places and if you don't sleep with a certain manager, you lose in the end. When I retired, I talked to corporate about all my documentations and she told me its all who you know not what you know. Pretty sad coming from an ex customer service manager that is now in corporate cause she didn't want to play their games. Publix customers see the good side, and the associates see the BAD side of managers that don't deserve their position and the ones that do deserve it get nothing but criticism and told what you do wrong. I believe in compliments. They make you feel better and want to do better.

Sorry....I don't believe any of it. 

If things like this had been going on (as you claim), and you would have indeed provided documentation to HR, they WOULD HAVE HAD TO respond to it. 

That's just the thing....people come on here, venting and airing dirt, falsely accuse, distort facts, create fiction....and at the end it's always someone else's fault (but never their own...of course not) 

The problem is, you (as an employee) have certain rights as well. Things like you have described would not be tolerated. 

But, do you really know, what your rights are ? 

Did you bring it to the attention of the store manager (using the open door policy) ? 

And, if that wasn't an option for you, did you place a call to HR with your claim AND documentation ? 

(They would have started an investigation.....you know that. Right ?) 

 

Many people just complain, and go on and on and on, without having anything done about it, or even knowing what their rights as an employee really are. 

But those are exactly the people which you will find blogging on the Internet pointing fingers. 

 

Funny to think, that you have had 7 years....and never did anything about it, but complain and whine. 

Enjoy your retirement :-)

Another not so good liar. Had you brought your "documentations" to HR, they would have done something with it.
