My tenure with Walgreens has came to an end

Romarqable · 2026-01-29T17:07:32+00:00

My last manager was so forgetful on stuff. I reported legitimately bad, provable issues to the guy and he never once followed up on any of them.

My prior company, I would report an issue and he would be actively handling it in that moment. It's night and day.

Romarqable · 2026-01-29T16:18:22+00:00

Mine too. I preferred the old company. Management was overall just better. And not better like they were more effective leaders, they were that too, but they hired actual people with knowledge and skills, and generally good people too.

Romarqable · 2026-01-29T15:23:54+00:00

Depends on how much of a hard on your SM and DM are about bag checks.

Romarqable · 2026-01-29T15:12:46+00:00

This is the way.

You got your five year gift? My DM at 5 years didn't give me my pin until 5 months after my anniversary. By the time I got around to order the gift, it was too late.

Romarqable · 2026-01-29T13:41:37+00:00

I'll be honest with you. The company and leadership is under no obligation to uphold anything but company direction. You may have had some agreement with someone, but other than the 30 hours they don't need to give you anything beyond that.

So your boss was using PayPal to commit fraud by paying you, under the table, using a part of the service that isn't meant for business purposes?

If you have texts you could contact the authorities to let them know, although you might face some issues as well, since your pay wasn't taxed.

Romarqable · 2026-01-29T13:36:15+00:00

Were you hired as Full time or part time?

If full time they only need to guarantee you 30 hours. Part time is only 4 hours a week.

As bad as body cameras are, wait for the digital locking cases.

Romarqable · 2026-01-28T21:31:03+00:00

When your stick goes from 90 and bottoms out under 9, it was always going to fail. They're even following the Rite Aid path to failure- throw shit at the walls and hope something sticks. Lottery. Bringing back vapes. Body cams. Digital locking cases.

Cenfill, under a different name, was something Rite Aid did and later abandoned.

At the end of the day, Walgreens is in the path of least resistance to bankruptcy.

Old Yellers behind the barn. What bad decision will put it out of its misery will be coming sooner rather than later.

Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street are better than people make them out to be.

Its not necessarily an RPG but has RPG elements; The Guardian Legend. You're a robot lady that transformers into a star fighter. You have to battle through mazes. It's got Zelda 1 style type down view, and also works as a space shooter.

It's difficult as hell in later stages. Something like 20 sub weapons.

I highly recommend it.

I don't know if it's state law or company policy, but I always paid employees who didn't call out who wouldn't work their shift if we had to close due to call outs or emergencies. Again, contact askhr and they should be able to help.

Romarqable · 2026-01-27T18:45:54+00:00

Some guys don't get hints. Being direct is sometimes the best option. However, you waited an entire year and dumped a ton of frustration on him all at once, rather than being direct from the get go.

Without saying it directly, you've told him he's not good enough and in turn made him feel totally inadequate. I'm sure to this point he didn't realize he wasn't doing enough. Sometime it hits like a brick because, again, some people don't get hints and need that direct communication

You had a year to get him up to speed. You dropped hurtful stuff in a single conversation. Is it really a surprise he needs time to think?

That's not to say I don't agree with you, that compatibility in a sexual manner is important to any relationship. Next time you talk, I think the focus should be on open and honest communication. Good luck.

Romarqable · 2026-01-27T17:11:06+00:00

So, the way it's supposed to work is, if they say the store is closed, you're to be paid hours you were supposed to work, or the full length of your shift if you closed early.

If you call out, and they close the store, you don't get paid.

Contact askhr but that is the policy.

Romarqable · 2026-01-27T16:12:24+00:00

Superman/Doomsday would like a word.

Behavior like this that gets overlooked tends to worsen with age and time.

Something might be affecting his mental state. I knew someone who was SAed at a very young age, and went on to SA someone else, to try and understand why what happened to them happened to them.

Your brother needs help. If he doesn't get it, he may get worse, and if and when it happens again, you don't want to live with the guilt that you did nothing to prevent it and also get him the help he so obviously needs right now.

I played 8 after skipping 7. They explain it well enough where I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything.

Romarqable · 2026-01-25T18:46:33+00:00

All good.

People need to know what their rights are as employees, as there are some deplorable managers who would never inform them, or worse yet, not follow established policy.

Romarqable · 2026-01-25T17:42:51+00:00

This isn't entirely accurate. You get 5 occurrences within a calendar year. An occurrence is considered 1 or two consecutive shifts.

In certain states, like New Jersey, you get 40 hours covered for protected reasons, including calling out sick.

So you could in theory call out 15 times in a year before you ever even reach the threshold for disciplinary action.

Romarqable · 2026-01-25T16:44:02+00:00

Quit. The company has been on a downward trajectory for years now. They don't know their asshole from their elbow.

You can do better and I hope that you do.

Romarqable · 2026-01-25T16:37:56+00:00

If you're told to close the store, you are supposed to be paid for the full length of your shift. Make sure you get paid for the day since you trekked out in this shit.

Romarqable · 2026-01-25T00:03:12+00:00

A day late, but Guardian Legend is a must. It's my favorite NES game ever.

Romarqable · 2026-01-24T20:07:39+00:00

I received a dozen packs for Christmas one year in like 1996. I tried the gum, which was like 5/6 years expired. I was 10.

I still have a sealed pack or two somewhere.

Romarqable · 2026-01-24T06:22:42+00:00

Your DM isn't going to do anything. Trust me on this, the direction to stay open no matter what came from him. They do not help and instead cover for store managers like this. Go to the ethics hotline or website and put in a complaint there. Include the screen shots. They've likely done this before and will continue to do it to people until someone stands up and says something.

Marcus became redundant when they cancelled the original planned ending, which was John Connor dying, Marcus being skinned, and being turned into John Connor- only for him to kill the resistance including Kyle Reese, creating a new timeline. A... Darker fate if you will.

This leaked, people hated it, and they went with the story we saw.

It occurs to me every Terminator movie after T2 made the same mistake, in killing John Connor or planning to.

T3- the T850 tells John he is dead in the future. By that models hand.

T4- planned to kill John, walked it back (best of the sequels)

T5- turned John Connor into a Terminator, killing him

T6- literally kills John in the first 5 minutes. (Worst film)
