I used to work for Publix, a grocery chain in the south east US. They talk a big game to the new hires that no matter how high up you make it in the company, you're not too high to do the tasks of the entry level employees. You'll even see the CEO in some of the stores in Lakeland, Florida. I've always felt it was for show because all you'll ever see anyone in a management position do is bag groceries. There could be a dozen other tasks that need doing that would take priority, but don't worry, you have time to do those things because the guys making 6 figures are on bagger duty.
Be real, how many jobs do you trust a suit to be able to figure out? Do you really want one of them behind an electric pallet jack?
No, but cleaning up the disgusting public bathroom is doable
I didn't mention in my original post but the company only hires within, meaning that every single person within the company started at an entry level position, many of them did operate pallet jacks. Every suit that did come and pretend to look like they were working hard did do that job at one point. I think that's what made it even more infuriating to me
A couple of night stock shifts would be good for them.
"Oh you wanted a bonus this year CEO person? You're in luck, you can join the company pizza party!"
The CEO of Publix is a piece of shit. Fuck that guy.
A lot of those jobs require some form of training. What's the point of training everyone for every job?
I should've mentioned in my original post that Publix is a hires within company. Everybody including the current CEO started at an entry level position. Obviously no one person knows how to do everything, but all the top level employees ran their own department before running their own store, district, region, etc. Obviously I'm biased, my feelings toward the company are less than favorable after working there. It was just irritating to see someone who has made millions but somehow has the time to run to various stores and kick people off of bagging duty so they can pretend to look like down to earth upper management. It was my first hand experience to seeing just how unnecessary certain corporate positions really are
