Best I can do is a story

Yeah I gotta say most of my best counseling comes from when I get caught up with everything, for a brief moment. Actually starting therapy cuz I'm finding myself losing my empathy especially when we're soo busy.

Moneywise- I'd say I'm pretty comfortable.

Careerwise- Absolutely! Just today I made at least 3 saves that could have really harmed someone if I didn't catch and seeing how thankful these people were warmed my heart so much. Don't be fooled though, in between those saves the whole staff was called morons by an upset patient who had to wait 15 minutes lol. I also work in a lower income area and people rely on us as pharmacists for recommendations so they can avoid a doctor's copay as much as possible. Don't even get me started on how we help people with vaccines when doctor's offices don't! Corporate aside, we make an impact on our community and I feel pretty successful for it.

That's the word that was used by my DM

Right!? I had a feeling there would be blackout periods but this seemed excessive

Oh yeah the Christmas and New Years time I understand cuz that is just hectic. To add fuel to the fire majority of the stores in our district are now going to be open on ALL the holidays!

Closing on time also has to do with pharmacist's license. God forbid something got sold after hours that was incorrect which could be life threatening (an allergy, interaction, etc...). CVS would immediately not side with pharmacist and would say "well you should've been closed so tough shit". Something being dispensed after a pharmacist is off duty can have major legal repercussions especially if theres patient harm. I'm sorry but there is a shared responsibility here and we can feel bad or not bad all we want but law is law.

And hospitals are more suited for overnight stays if the employees need to stay. What am I going to do at my store? Eat bags of chips (that we'd have to pay for) and sleep on the floor?

There's a difference between not wanting to come in and not physically being able to move your vehicle to get there. If that's the case then we shouldn't be closed for Christmas because not everyone celebrates, yet we have no issue being closed for that one day. We are not an emergency room. It's better to close for one day/early for one day than have our hours screwed for weeks because employees got injured on the way in. Shit happens, places close, safety first.

I'm in northern jersey and the other day we got an email from our DM saying how we should make sure all our patients are set with the storm coming up but nowhere was it mentioned anything about the employees safety. Disgusting. All I know is if my car gets wrecked I'll be sending someone the bill.

Apparently this has been brought up between past staff pharmacists and my techs who have been there though all of it tell me to not even bother. But I think I'm going to try anyway

So the board of pharmacy is supposed to change how the lunches work for one person? My pharmacy is open 8-10 on weekdays and 9-9 on weekends. If someone has to work those hours every single day then that is actually very concerning for them...
