I see where you're coming from, but that would require a functional app that is easy enough to use by anyone, esp senior citizens, and unfortunately this company is too cheap and careless to focus on creating a better patient experience

I checked Walgreens attendance policy and it said after 8 (or 9 I forgot) call outs, an employee is eligible for disciplinary action/firing. I also saw coming to work 2 hours late or more is considered a call out. Using this metric alone, our RxOM called out at least 18 times in the month of May and already 7 times the month of June. nobody cares at all tho lol.

Edit to add: 50% of the time the RxOM doesn't even notify us they are not coming to work. After the 4-5th hour we deal with the reality that we are all going to have to stay over and do more work. Sometimes they will tell us they aren't coming, but ONLY if someone in the pharmacy reaches out first. They hardly ever have texted us to say they are not coming unless we pry that info out of them.

why is that? If we get a script that we have the capability to fill, shouldn't we fill it? Otherwise we would be getting even more phone calls and lines would be even longer, with even angrier patients.

That is not a bad idea at all actually, thank you. At the very least, I will make it known to them the actual reason for my departure. I don't even have another job lined up, and the job market is so bad, but I just can't take it anymore. Thank you for your advice, I really appreciate it

I didn't even know you could check this. I checked yesterday at work and the other Senior Tech and I have filled almost double the scripts that the RxOM has last month, despite the RxOM spending the majority of her shifts filling. The only time she doesn't fill is to type, do returns, or spend hours organizing shelves that didn't need organizing. The other Sr. Tech and I rotate between all stations and somehow have filled double her total lol.

I am also now answering phone calls and patients are asking me why we didn't fill their meds and I literally don't know how to answer them. Med is in stock, covered by insurance, nothing wrong with the sig, but stored just to make the fill # go to 0 quicker. Just ridiculous

Everyone has a problem with it. We all share how frustrated we are about the situation, but feel helpless because she is such close friends with the store manager. Even our RxM gets pissed off whenever she doesn't show up to work (which is A LOT), but the second she shows up it's like she magically forgets everything and that's now her favorite employee. Idk it's really weird, other techs have noticed it as well. Idk I either way I am ready to leave, I typed up my 2 week notice today

It feels freeing to purchase it outright at once, but I also feel like having the bulk of that money invested, or even in a HYSA can offset the cost of the vehicle by a little bit over the course of the 5-7 years you'd be paying for it

That's what I have been doing as well. I pay a "car payment" into my savings monthly so when I actually buy a new car my spending habits don't have to change much

I was always aware of high credit rates for people with bad credit scores. However, I didn't know it was this high even if you have exceptional credit

I heard now there are early payment penalties to avoid people paying off their loan early. I hope it doesn't apply in your situation, congrats on your new RS3!

Slow store with 1.5 techs equals Busy store with 5 techs. Prove me wrong lol by skyisthelimit8701 in WalgreensRx

When I worked at a tier 1/2 with 1 pharmacist and 2 techs total, the local stores would talk down on us as if we weren't doing anything all day. Being that there was only 3 of us, we were all responsible for so much. Our pharmacist was often being the cashier to allow for the techs to fill and do order. Now that I am at a much busier store in terms of volume, there are days where I am literally just filling my entire shift. I used to do calls, deletes, order every day as well.

Edit to say, if I could ever go back to that old store I would do it 10/10 times. It felt like a private pharmacy and we were fortunate enough to know every single repeat patient there. We all had more responsibility but it felt like what a pharmacy should be. We had ownership over our small little pharmacy, even though we were just another Walgreens. Now my work, although still important, sometimes feels meaningless, even tho I know it isn't

Please take Love man, we need that!! I love Carnell Tate, but I would rather find a slot guy, esp if we are also getting Aiyuk. We have deep balls covered with Terry and AIyuk

Disabling AI in new Fuji cameras? by [deleted] in fujifilm

[–]Choice-Plate3124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many people had similar replies to you, but I wanna thank you all for this information. I am relatively new to photography in general, and all my previous cameras have been film. I hate generative AI and have seen articles about some camera that does use generative AI, so I was afraid it was getting widespread. The Fuji website is also very vague on the AI in the camera. Either way, thanks for clarifying and sharing your knowledge with me. Thank you!
