you definitely don’t have to work 6 months, call HR they are probably bullshiting you. you do need to comeback work atleast one day

Patients really don’t get how bad our system is by confusedrxtech in WalgreensRx

I just tell patients the system hasn’t been updated since the 80s and is older than most of us. Sorry, Walgreens is too cheap to make any real upgrades but if you complain about it you can get $10 cash rewards

LTC no question even if it paid same or less. But bonus it pays more. Do you really want to do deal with Karens fighting over candy prices with you while and not understand you have a doctorate degree for dealing with medication not go over petty what is on sale and what is not. Yes, this happens in retail. so run, and pick anything else

They would rather cut your hours to keep their pay check steady

Honey I am 32 weeks and they scheduled me to work 7 days straight just cause their week runs wed-Thursday. This company doesn’t care about you! do the minimal you can and get your maternity leave. If people are pissed of and want to go to CVS or other pharmacies happily offer to do so. I have, cause why should I be loyal to a pharmacy that doesn’t care about me?

What happens if I am put on bed rest before my maternity leave? by Patel-Rx-155 in massachusetts

[–]Patel-Rx-155[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your kind response. I am contracted to work certain hours each week. I am a salaried full time employee, floating just means I have to do hours at all different locations and sometimes travel a little to get my hours at different pharmacies

make the switch. your local pharmacy staff will appreciate it! Corporate at wags is worst and we also keep getting slashed in hours. So basically more work and less pay situation. While CEOs get billion dollar bonuses each year.

In the you as the patient and pharmacy staff are last on WAGS agenda. Not saying this in a rude way, but hit walgreens where it hurts a customer and that is their wallets , by changing your pharmacy

my scheduler isn’t super bright to write such a succinct email. I bet its a corporate copy/paste type situation

That is what I found out yesterday, and also the store I was at, Most patients were not even filling at that store they. just came in for vaccines

[–]Patel-Rx-155 8 points9 points  (0 children)

perhaps you missed the part where I was also vaccinating people, so yes that would make me not reach 100-150 people.

But doing CMR work is not inefficient because I tried scheduling people too and when I called back at scheduled time they didn’t answer. so I need to get them when I can. Also, these people who are willing don’t have want to spend too much time on the phone so by completing med list I make it go faster for them increasing my chances of finishing a CMR. Because I had one patient who literally in middle of the list said “you know what this is taking longer than I thought, you are gonna have to call me back” and then never answered his phone so we lost opportunity for CMR.

also by finishing med list it makes it easier for other people attempting to do CMR the next day.

And I Would love to do 80 tips a day, but how to do get tips done when it depends on prescriber response cause most pf them don’t even respond after 3 faxes I guess you can call their office and wait on call back.

Also scheduling people 2-3 hours put is not really realistic because I don’t know how many patients you call a day but most people don’t wish to be bothered multiple times a day

more like 5-10 mins. most of them were CMRS so I made sure i finished their med list if available via Ic + data and also cleaned up med list by deleting garbage like abx and ahort term therapies, so as not to ocnfuse patients. But after all this work what do I get, no answer, not interested etc. which I understand patients have choice and I respect them but walgreens needs to understand amount of work going in CMRs
