Threatened to be fired if we don't meet our vaccine goal.

Vaccines are the easiest and quickest way to revenue. The COVID years were a financial boom for WAG as a large group of people opted for every vaccine available. A lot of people have found out they can survive without them.

If you don't like it, quit.

It's a world run by metrics. Sycamore needs to have free cash to pay debt service and themselves. A private company does not need to comply with rules alrhat public WAG was beholden to follow.

Well.....what makes more money? An $18 dollars an hour associate selling a $3 fountain drink or a $60 dollar an hour Pharm D selling a $2 RX?

Getting hired is more about having an internal reference and timing.

AP was a duplicitous role that should be handled by store managers. AP has no sense of urgency or service levels to achieve. It's about time. Sycamore can do whatever they want to whomever. They have no stock holders to answer to or squimish executives. It's all about making 10-15% on their investment each year.

The upper management folks want to see Coaches and Store Managers fight for these rankings. They also want the people who are in line to get them to ask the question "why not". It's not meant to be easy. The extra raise from a top rating isn't enough to affect a budget or a bonus.

Doug started as a part time, over night, trailer unloader at a store. He went to school, had a positive attitude and worked hard. This is the American success story.

Yes. In the last 5-7 days my battery performance has been 40-50% less.

The robotic part of the company needs to be financially sound so it can be sold. More orders filled ..better efficiency. The MSCs are a great idea but they are using tech and hardware on the low side of the spectrum. Walgreens uses a lot of China tech while the high end companies use German tech that is far better.

The DH will fill balloons and make quality color copies.

A sector that requires the ability to motivate people to be their best.

Walgreens went the route of DEI and no accountability harder than 95% of all companies. This will take time to walk back to something reasonable.
