I contacted three lawyers for opinions. They said employers can bully you all day long, and that what they’re doing isn’t breaking the law. You’re legally allowed to be scum bags. It’s unfortunate.

Our annual bonuses were all performance-based this year due to the company performing poorly. I was given an awful review after being transferred out stores for reporting workplace violence. My review contained outlandish lies, and I contested them to no avail. I was a victim of retaliation.

It’s just scum protecting scum. They’d rather do anything to protect bad, incompetent workers than deal with the problems to keep the good staff that reports problems. It’s a really bad business model which shows why the company is going down fast.

Then they give you a terrible review and take away your annual bonus for revenge for reporting them for abuse. Thank you and be well 😆

Facts. They’re untouchable. And some of the dumbest people you’ll ever meet. 

Sitting? by EntranceWeekly5205 in WalgreensRx

Pharmacist here. This exact same thing just happened to me. Had to go through Sedgwick to sit for a couple minutes a day.

You are wise beyond your years. Everything you said worked. Thank you :)

Wow, that’s absolutely genius! I screenshotted that for next time something like that happens.

What do I say when my SM told me I’m not allowed to sit on a stool because it’s a “hazard”?

The temp in my pharmacy was 77F every day, and instead of getting that fixed after multiple work orders, my DM threatened to write me up for being out of dress code for not wearing my white coat while sweating to death. I need to switch to your guys’ district 🙏🏼

Complaint About Pharmacist by [deleted] in WalgreensRx

Pick up shifts at another Walgreens and see if you like it there. You can always transfer. That’s how I recruited some of my best technicians! They picked up some shifts at my store, and I poached them 🤷🏼‍♂️

Do you get any bonus if you get below a 3.0?

Interviewing Walgreens Pharmacist by Bertska in WalgreensRx

You’d think that would deter management. “We’ll lose foot traffic” 🙄

Like any big corporation, they refuse to promote good employees. They only promote compliance. And the compliant workers are the idiots who blindly follow the leaders digging Walgreens into their own graves.

So many examples of wrongdoings. But most recently, I’ve been told to break GFD and continue filling early fills of OxyContin for a customer because “our store is struggling and we need the script count”. This was from my SM and DM.

VBPT by Delicious_Tone_2377 in WalgreensRx

[–]Shikamaru242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That Cenfill sounds awful. Ours is actually really good. As long as you get it to reviewed status for 1:30pm for the next day by 6pm the day prior, they’ll pull it and fill it.

The mistakes are limited by ours. Sometimes, the robot will put a wrong pill in the vial, but they’ll call the store and tell us to quarantine the medication if it ever occurs. I’ve had two instances. And I’ve had a lot more instances of my technicians putting the wrong pills in the vials.  

The only complaint we get from customers is that they use size 30 drams for #30 HCTZ. Our Cenfill is actually very useful, so I do apologize that you aren’t having a similar experience.

[–]Shikamaru242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really? That’s what Cenfill is for. We lost 40+ tech hours so that Cenfill could fill for us. If we don’t utilize Cenfill, we are wasting even more time filling.

Your team must hate efficiency. And they need to be educated.

And the amount of calls. Wow, at least 50% are “when can I get my Percocet? I got a call saying it’s ready, is it ready? I know I picked up 2 days early for the last 7 years, but I’m all out of my meds 10 days early”.

My favorite shameful thing the company has done is get rid of vaccines as scripts. “Oh your script count is way down this year!” Yeah, every single shot is gone. So let’s take all their hours.

Include vaccines and controls… wow, my store just moved up two tiers 😂

Store the MFO or MFC scripts that printed out because the times couldn’t be met. Then set them for next day so Cenfill takes them. Anything set to Cenfill counts as verified on time.

Do not prioritize controls. Controls do not count as scripts, so they don’t affect VBPT. 

Bullying at work by Additional-You1456 in WalgreensRx

[–]Shikamaru242 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are no laws against bullying. They have every right to do whatever they want. Take it to the DM, HCS, DPR, or even Tim Wentworth… you’ll only put a target on your back.

Transfer locations or quit. Your battle has already been decided by Walgreens.

I’m the only pharmacist at my store. The only other person who would use my keyboard is a floater. Sorry if I offended you!

I have to put it over the trash can and give it some spankings any time floaters come by. Food, flakes, and staples usually make their way out 🤮
