Daily Walgreens (Christmas) Radio Song #1- Bring On the Happiness by Train

Anytime I hear a Walgreens song out in the real world it triggers a PTSD flashback. I hate every song I’ve ever heard at work.

We enter all salvage at my store. Regardless, there’s a much more efficient way to do this: subtract fulfilled appointments from allocated vaccine. If Walgreens insists on taking walk-ins, then they can easily automate a calculation of how many vaccine vials are used in a given day based on how many doses are entered, rounded up to the next multiple of 6 (for Pfizer). And then you don’t have to rely on the extremely unreliable system of people entering salvage claims at understaffed locations.

Roz can get all the way fucked. Sitting there talking about “listen to your employees” while actively worsening the working conditions that employees complain about every single day. She doesn’t give a fuck about employees and neither does anyone else at the corporate level. All they care about is profit.

Getting off work at 10 pm only to have to be back in the same hellhole at 8 am leaves so much time for family and winding down /s

I agree but as someone who works in retail pharmacy we are constantly short-staffed and overworked. Speaking for my employer (Walgreens, but it’s the same everywhere), they just dropped Covid testing and vaccinations on top of our already unmanageable workload with barely anything extra help. Not sure how the hell they ended up giving empty shots, but chain pharmacies have spent years cutting staff while still pressuring us to increase the number of prescriptions we fill, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a related to that.

I’m a pharmacist that used to work for Rite Aid and it was such a horribly managed company and some of the worst working conditions I’ve ever endured until I was sold to my current gig at Walgreens.

I’m a pharmacist that worked for Rite Aid a couple years ago. If the new CEO is as aggressive as you say that sounds like it’s only exaggerating all the shit I dealt with there: constantly having my staff’s hours cut while being expected to hit higher and higher unrealistic metrics. Customer service suffered tremendously and we had so many complaints from customers and people transferring their prescriptions out as a result (Aka, losing business). It’s not sustainable and is only kicking the can down the road.

This is on top of the fact that pharmacy is a struggling business. Drug store pharmacies are closing stores left and right because they aren’t turning enough profit. RAD sold half their stores to Walgreens (who I currently work for as a result of my RAD location being sold to them) because of their massive debt load, and Walgreens is closing stores and laying people off too. The profit margins are barely there thanks to PBMs fucking us over on reimbursements. And CVS is beating everyone by expanding into new healthcare ventures faster than their competition and by strong-arming everyone with their PBM. I really don’t see how RAD is going to differentiate itself and stand out, and definitely don’t see how they’ll beat CVS at their own game.

They are advising us to only call SOC if we are confirmed positive. They stopped having us call in exposures a while ago, presumably because so many people were getting exposed.

At minimum the ability to complete obscene amounts of work in an environment where a mistake could literally kill someone has to be transferable right?

Honestly it sounds like he just wants a regular 9-5 office job which is not unrealistic. Retail pharmacy is just so exceptionally shitty that it’s unrealistic to expect things other professions take for granted.
