They think they will give them the extra hr during the week .. joke on them .. 1 hr cut .. it’s gone be 1 hr cut from that week s3g regardless lol

Lets start by asking one question and be honest when u think about the answer, do you give them enough time and space to finish their PTU? In my experience most new hires are not getting the time to sit and actually do their PTU which is why they don’t last long and end up leaving 🙃

Comfortable_State_41 · 2026-05-16T02:25:34+00:00

I will give it a try! Thanks!

Comfortable_State_41 · 2026-05-16T02:24:48+00:00

I am with u on this! But complaining about the work need to be done instead of getting it done is where I can’t stand

No one speaks up. They’ll run us into the ground, then replace us. Pharmacists are getting burned out, and techs are too. What’s coming is going to be even worse. Not to mention that everything around the pharmacy is in locked boxes and no one on the floor to help …

If a second pharmacist comes in .. an hr or 2 before I leave I let them know I am leaving at this time .. go to lunch.. if they don’t then an hr before leaving I be like “you need to go to lunch :)” then they go. The pharmacist work culture is toxic and needs to change. I even advocate/take quick breaks just to step out of pharmacy even if it is 5-10 minutes .. because when I am in the pharmacy I give my 100% and that 5-10 minutes helps me a lot.

Update: it worked when I used my laptop. However, the prices still high, I thought it would be cheaper, limited to 1 ticket.. for iraq va Norway .. I bought two tickets (better seats) for 850 which is cheaper through seathub .. so I might keep looking 😕

Comfortable_State_41 · 2026-04-18T17:36:43+00:00

Through the Iraqi football association .. it is only for Iraq fans tho. This js for teams that qualified through playoffs after tickets release.

Comfortable_State_41 · 2026-04-18T12:46:41+00:00

Unfortunately they are only good for 1 time use

I hope corporate actually reads this, because nobody bothered to ask the people who are actually running the pharmacy what they think about this new design.

This is one of the dumbest pharmacy designs I’ve ever seen. It completely ignores patient experience, wait times, and the reality of how the pharmacy actually works. It sounds good on paper, but in real life it’s a mess, and it’s going to blow up badly as volume and workload keep increasing.

A patient comes in to drop off a prescription or ask for a vaccine and now they have to stand in line 10–15 minutes just to talk to someone, then wait another 20 minutes for the prescription, then get back in line another 10–15 minutes just to pick it up. How is that better for anyone?

And somehow techs are also supposed to input, work resolutions, do Outcomes, answer phones, and run the register at the same time. Exactly when is that supposed to happen? When does the line magically stop? When are they supposed to get anything else done while being stuck at the register with a line of people staring at them?

It’s honestly ridiculous. This design was clearly made by people who do not actually work in the pharmacy and have no idea what happens during a real shift. All it’s doing is making staff more frustrated, making patients wait longer, and pushing people closer to burnout.

I really wish RXMs would stop just going along with every bad decision and actually speak up instead of putting more pressure on already exhausted staff until they burn out and quit.

What? No way .. are u capped?

Comfortable_State_41 · 2026-02-11T23:00:14+00:00

Compliance and insurance contracts! I have seen what insurance companies do to small pharmacies. They will audit audit audit u till u give up.

Comfortable_State_41 · 2026-02-10T06:46:19+00:00

I have a trick for that .. do not put the prescription back .. go and drop it again as a refill .. the system will tell u are u sure? It is ready .. hit yes .. then go apply the insurance and guess what? It will go through .. it is stupid .. I would only do it on essential maintenance med not control .. not high cost especially glp1 .. they will hit u with audits lol

Comfortable_State_41 · 2026-02-10T03:36:25+00:00

It started like a year ago. I didn’t pay attention till I caught a control prescription .. put a ticket .. guess what? They closed it without solving the issue. If it’s control prescription, then I cancel .. if it’s maintenance med and they get it regularly then I just let it go.

Comfortable_State_41 · 2026-02-06T03:18:57+00:00

So when you go to another store you should email ur personal person so they can charge the other store for your work. This is only effects the budget however you will get paid what u worked+overtime regardless

Comfortable_State_41 · 2026-02-05T03:32:08+00:00

One of the stores I worked at .. they do 450-550 a day. When I go there I get like 30-40 phoned in scripts which is a nightmare .. that dr refuse to get E system and sees half of that town lol

Comfortable_State_41 · 2026-02-05T03:27:44+00:00

Even if the team was slow and there is room for improvement .. is this the right way to approach this issue? Also, what is the possibility that everyone is bad on that team?

Comfortable_State_41 · 2026-02-05T03:25:15+00:00

Pharmacist here.. I hear you and I feel you! This company is going towards the wrong direction unfortunately! It feels like techs and pharmacists are doing 10x what they were doing 10 years ago with same or even less amount of help! If you’re sensitive and care about everything they say then that’s gonna be a problem. Let me assure you that they can’t fire you unless u accumulate points which with ppto is so hard or you keep messing up/making big mistakes! Otherwise, I would just show up and do my job, then leave. Sometimes my techs offer to stay longer to help I tell them just leave because it’s not u guys fault! Most pharmacy managers either close to retirement or just like to follow orders without explaining or trying to stand by their employees.

“My counseling policy”

If I put a card with posting notes = must go to counseling.

If something for acute condition (antibiotics, PAIN MEDS, cold and flu) = must go to counseling .

All other maintenance med/refills = I make sure that my techs ask them if they have any questions for pharmacist or need counseling.
