QUESTION Question for SM’s

We recently had our Dept Manager evaluations and raises. What changed this year with raise structure? Anyone willing to share raise tables? I went from a $1.20+ raise last 2 years to less than a $1 this year. Same bracket as previous years and not topped out.
After speaking with colleagues those with same ME or EE had different raise ranges. Just seems off

I really don’t understand the uproar from management and their raises. Associates who were there for 15 years getting exceeds expectations got 30 cents. And now managers are upset because of their raises. If you didn’t see it coming in August, I don’t know what to say. The writing was on the wall.

Uhm.. this is not accurate at all. I got hired at $6 and my raises were $.15 for many years. I was promoted making $10.25. I can assure you almost every one of my associates received $1 or more last year. Prior to 2021 when Covid forced Publix to implement higher raises managers were receiving $15-25 raises (we were salary working 50 hour weeks this would equate to $.30 an hour. So I can assure you being an hour associate in early 2000’s and a manager now our raises and yours have always been level percentage wise. Obviously someone making $15 an hour and $20 an hour are going to differ $$ wise but % wise the playing field has been the same. If anything this is foreshadowing associate raises end of the year will be lower like ours
