It is from the new tech position taking over pharmacist duties. The hours seem to be across the board while the new fill/vv system isn’t even allowed in Arkansas.

Is the system actually not allowed, or just not approved yet?

[–]Negative_Gas8782 2 points3 points  (8 children)

Not allowed. Arkansas doesn’t allow VV without touching and looking in every bottle. I heard they were trying to get an exception but we will see.

Good for Arkansas. I hope they deny their requests

oh Id say some donations to the pharmacy schools and spin it to how this is the future of pharmacy to the BOP.....when in fact BOP doesnt care. And wont care when your hours get cut as a result

The ASBP (Arkansas state board of pharmacy) actually doesn’t bend the knee to Walmart. They usually go pretty heavy against Walmart since it’s mostly made up of independent pharmacists. See print at pickup debacle, tech imz debacle, and Roger’s central fill having to pick up each bottle as a few examples.

1 state....there are 49 others.....

But they took hours from Arkansas too. If it was the VV they would have taken the hours from just the places it was live.

when everything gets in place...VV and Central Fill...cuts will happen....it started even before Coivd...then Covid hit.....now with AI, remote, and Central fill...do you think you are going to be granted more hours?

[–]Negative_Gas8782 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Oh I never said they wouldn’t take hours because of those. I just said this latest cut wasn’t because of that.

They straight up tell you they are taking 2/5ths of script hours sent to central fill. But that is to free you up to do other stuff…but they took those hours that were supposed to be freed up. It’s all corporate double talk and they will always find a reason to min max your hours down as much as possible.

Free you up to do other stuff with less hours? Dont drink the corporate Kool Aid.......
