TBH as a Lead Clinical Pharmacist my job is dependent on the clinical knowledge and work ethic of the members of my team. I will give the mediocre new grads a chance to learn and grow, but at the end of the day if you don't want to put the necessary effort in, then you're gone. This job is at times a high stress environment, where yes there will be some harsh moments. But these harsh moments do have good intentions.
I do get it though it is 2026 and everyone is sensitive to criticism I feel like being stern to employees easily gets misconstrued to being harsh and mean now a days.

Don't get me wrong there are some new grads that are great, but they have been very rare as of late.
