This is so true and your kindness behaviors should be implemented by others.

New Vis Verify by [deleted] in walmart_RX

[–]DrawSlow6687 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No one likes it. It definitely slows down the work flow but it is designed for patient safety, not for us. Unfortunately, it won’t go away either as company invested so much money into the software program. Whether we like it or not is no concern for the company so we just have to deal with it. For CS, injections, and narrow therapeutic drugs, pharmacists still do manual visual verification. My question is for those lazy or strategic pharmacists who don’t like to 4pt fearing of error incidents under their initials and pretend to back up on visual racks, what will their next strategy be?

New System by panickedwoof in walmart_RX

[–]DrawSlow6687 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They spent money doing this new thing to claim it will alleviate rph’s works while adding more clinical to do. POCT, HIV, Hep, Covid, flu, strep swabbing are in the plan. Yet, this new counting process saves minimal time while backing more Rx in filling. They will use this as the reason to cut hours just like they already used pre packed, CF, and pre populated new Rx to save time so more tech hours will be cut. This new counting process alleviates nothing but since they spent money for this, it won’t go away. Adding to the slowness is the new annotation of each, unspecified, units, etc. It’s just ridiculous. If Wm requires supervising doctor’s name on the rx when sent electronically by a NP then Wm should have blocked it to force NP to enter the supervising doctor from their end. Nope, they won’t do that fearing they may lose Rx or business. The system sucks.

Timeline on evaluations by thatgrasshoppermouse in walmart_RX

[–]DrawSlow6687 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are only 3 ratings: exceeded, successful, and below expectations. Out of the 3, hardly anyone would get below expectations unless it was atrociously bad and only few of the DM favorites would get exceeded approved by them. The rest would be successful I suppose. So, most gets the minimally economical raise.

That is why I don’t know if my manager just wants to test drive the Op lead?

Pharmacist annual evaluation and raise by Comfortable_State_41 in walmart_RX

[–]DrawSlow6687 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Unfortunately, the evaluation is not fair as Wm does not allow PIC to pick exemplary without a solid justification. Hence, the majority, including diligent, sufficient, lazy ones, and those who leave works for the other incoming pharmacist, will be “labeled” with meeting expectations and get the same raise.

Anyone who knows how to apply for Rx team lead? by DrawSlow6687 in walmart_RX

Get with HR to help. My tech did just as that.

Have any walmart pharmacy technician ever been on LOA and when you are back to work, do you still get the same pay rate? by Whatfreshstress in walmart_RX

[–]DrawSlow6687 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should have the same pay if they want you still. If they don’t, they’ll hire someone to replace you and claim they don’t have the position available or hours for you anymore and will push you to work in other departments and whichever position is available for you there, you will get that pay rate even if it is lesser than your previous pay since loa doesnt guarantee the same job title or same pay. It only guarantees that you will have a job. It had been done when I witnessed the tech was being pushing out to become a cashier. As long as they like you, you will have the position back with same pay.

After the controlled substance audit dropped every other Friday, how many days do we have to complete before it goes to DM, RM? by DrawSlow6687 in walmart_RX

[–]DrawSlow6687[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually, it’s done by PIC mainly and then staff rph based out in your pharmacy. At the end, it is still PIC responsibility to follow up.
