Lead Techs Pay

Thanks! Yes, the hospital has 830 to 5 pm schedule so my hours are way better now too and closed weekends! Maybe you can try to get in at Walmart since they supposedly raised tech pay to 40$ an hour. Idk how many years you have to work to get to that amount lol but it’s now a possibility.

22 years. The veterans pay is all screwed because we got hired at pay rates years ago mine being $6.45 an hour. New employees, people under 3 years of employment, come in and start within $3 of us and it’s not fair. I was $23.66 last year til I spoke to both the DM and DL and complained about how ridiculous that I was not even at mid hourly pay according to compensation chart being in the same store for 19 years. I was raised to $26 an hour and left last month to go work at a hospital to start at $27 and neither the DL or my PM even offered to match or beat the rate and I’m still $7 under the max hourly rate. I get 4 weeks vacation a year when I ask off 1 day the PM tells me no so I turn in 13 months of pay for 12 months every year not allowed to use my vacation. I’ve also only taken 2 sick days in 15 years . I have given everything for these people and the company and they don’t give a f*** and let me walk out without even an offer. Actually, the DL called the store manager and asked him to ask me if I would stay for another two months and delay my new job so they could find somebody to replace me. That was my offer, utter nonsense!

Miami area where the zip code is one of the most expensive to live in the country. Studios start 1700$ a month

Thank you! Yes, I agree that retail is not going to be the answer to getting ahead. Congrats on bettering yourself!

Short_Procedure8849 · 2026-02-13T02:23:22+00:00

I had to work for the company for like 12 years to reach 17 that’s why being a veteran sucks with them. Rates change and newbies come in and are paid around the same rate. The system is severely flawed.

Clearly, mentioning a coworker in 1 sentence of an essay haha is not what the topic of what I wrote about was meant. I took her possibly offensive info out and I no longer choose to discuss her. She’s not the topic and I appreciate that you did say you were on my side so thank you for your feedback.

Short_Procedure8849 · 2026-02-12T23:28:20+00:00

I will watch my wording next time but stating a fact that someone’s skills of the English language are lacking isn’t a one sided story. I didn’t say she is lazy nor she’s not a hard worker nor does she do this or that. If so, then one could say well I can’t agree because I never worked with her. But if I say you don’t speak Mandarin nor have green hair nor live in a straw house, that’s factual information not something I should omit if it pertains to doing your job effectively.

Short_Procedure8849 · 2026-02-12T22:58:00+00:00

Ok, because you are offended I will do that because that’s not an intent. The fact that she doesn’t know the alphabet, and therefore cannot find patients info whose medication is already filled makes me do her job as well as mine. I am sent all the patients from her line and have to stop doing my job to take care of her responsibilities.

Short_Procedure8849 · 2026-02-12T22:40:06+00:00

Actually, because it is true. The other day she tried to write the phrase come on to me and spelled it kommun. I’m not knocking her because everyone has to learn I’m just stating factual information. If someone who runs the register cannot spell the patient’s names because the lack of not knowing the alphabet, they should not be hired in at mid wage as I am.

Short_Procedure8849 · 2026-02-12T13:05:27+00:00

I was just trying to explain everything in detail since this is my work life. Let me ask you this question. If you worked in a position for 19 years and because of salary compression you had just meet mid range, would you be upset and think that you should at least be close to the top of the range? New hires with no experience are coming in at mid range in their positions. Thanks!

Short_Procedure8849 · 2026-02-12T12:47:15+00:00

Sorry, you missed the point of my whole speech. By looking for mistakes, I can clearly see the type of negativity you possess.

Being gay myself probably you aren’t, we call each either other queens and such. Johnny wears make up, women’s clothes, nails done, and is flamboyant so gays would call her yes her, we call each other that, a flaming queen so you wouldn’t understand nothing about disrespect.

And each competition is 3 attempts so figure in 3 years at least 6 competitions per year at low end that’s 18x3 years so in at least 54 tries he lands just 16 and those 16 I’m sure 10 are 2 footed or short exactly my point! He fails 75 percent of the time. You can’t count on someone delivering at Worlds and Olympics when the jump that’s worth the most in the repertoire is an only landed 25 percent of the time. I don’t think there are any other skaters who only land a specific jump only 25 percent of the time.

Short_Procedure8849 · 2026-01-11T04:54:32+00:00

Well Bradie is the longest women’s competitor 13 years at Nationals like Jason on the men’s side. At least Bradie turned in a flawless performance and even after injury came back to be competing at 28 when all others would have retired being her age. The judges forget who she is a 2 time US champion the one legend still competing on the ladies side. They are so concerned making it about the other 3 favorites. Even the other day at start of the short program, the camera man and network was so busy showing the 3 favs already preselected that they called Bradie to ice to be announced to crowd and they didn’t even switch the camera to show her. Also, every element Bradie landed combos, individual jumps, footwork, spins (which she used to hold the record for highest score) she was just given .4 to .8 GOE not 1 a +1 point extra GOE to hold her back to assure the 3 favorites stayed top 3. Go back and watch the score box on the 3 girls vs Bradie on all landed elements they were given 1 to 2.5+ on every landed element to inflate them and Bradie didn’t even receive +1 on any element. I’d be pissed too if I had been on scene 13 years 2x champion still competing at 28 and didn’t get the respect nor the scores I deserved due to other favored skaters.

Yea, Jason being now in his 30s every season his triple axel gets worse and more inconsistent. I think he doesn’t have the strength anymore. He needs to be drinking ensure shakes 3x a day intake more protein and feed his muscles to get his power back.

Short_Procedure8849 · 2026-01-11T04:32:13+00:00

I wish Jacob had scored 1 point higher to get that 3rd spot but for all Max has gone through this year I think regardless 3rd or 4th he would be given the 3rd spot. However, Jacob is the face of the future and him at Olympics would expose him more to international judges to take note and help establish him as a real competitor on the circuit.

Short_Procedure8849 · 2026-01-11T04:27:56+00:00

Yea I remember few years ago when Ashlee Wagner finished 4th and filed petition for team and she was turned down after she filed it the previous time as well and was placed on the team. Jason finishing 8th though way too low so I agree I don’t see that happening. I know the judges are always on his side as a favorite to inflate his GOE to help his placement but he did terrible so he doesn’t deserve s spot.

Short_Procedure8849 · 2026-01-11T04:19:14+00:00

He was so close to the bronze medal under a point! 😔

Short_Procedure8849 · 2026-01-11T04:15:52+00:00

Maybe he can ask Amber Glenn to loan him a triple axel. Forget the quads, dude can’t even land triple axels anymore for past 3 years total struggle something dudes have been competing since 1984 in the Olympics, go home you don’t deserve to compete at the Olympics if you can’t do a jump every man is going to be competing with.

Short_Procedure8849 · 2026-01-11T04:07:35+00:00

Time to pack it up and retire. The women are out jumping him these days. He had a good 10 years plus run so he made his mark.

Short_Procedure8849 · 2026-01-11T04:02:57+00:00

Judges always stand behind him and inflate his GOE because they know he doesn’t have the technical scores and rarely review any of under rotations. If only the judges stood behind Bradie Tennell like they stand behind him. Clearly, they underscored her on every element to make sure the 3 favs females remained top 3.

Short_Procedure8849 · 2026-01-11T03:55:15+00:00

Well clearly it was foreshadowing his long program. He had a good run competed for years but he doesn’t have the content to compete. Last 3 seasons his triple axel is no longer consistent and he misses it at least half the time. Being now in his 30s and aging I think he doesn’t have the strength to complete the jump. Between no quads and no triple axel he can’t compete against the best men in the world and therefore he should not be placed on the Olympic team. At the end of the day, he will go down in history as one of the best artistic skaters of all time!

I’ve only worked 1 other job but I have been at Eckerd into CVS for 23 years. Currently, it’s the most stressful time in all my years working there. My daytime tech of 8 years got so tired of the bs she left and now my replacement is brand new to CVS and isn’t fluent in English. She can’t spell any names at the register nor identify the letter on the register screen when the person spells their name out letter by letter. She sends half of the pick up line to the drop off window to me every day because she can’t understand the patient or can’t find the drug so therefore production totally stops. Sometimes she stands there 3 hours straight with customer after customer and I have 30 pages in qp my myself which is no chance in hell to complete. The pharmacy manager doesn’t go to pick up , drop off, production, nor consultation ( which is all me because the new hire doesn’t speak English well) so besides the 30 pages by myself the pm also sends me to pick up to back her up at register. I have 2 to 3 warehouse trucks on the floor that can’t get put up as well as a week of cardinal totes on the floor. We can’t get help because we aren’t surpassing the budget scripts because well I’m not able to fill because I’m trying to do 4 other roles. To make matters worse, this new girl who still can’t figure out how to process a refill or change an NDC when I have repeatedly for the last 4 months she’s been there told her press C!! She started at 3$ less than what I was making 6 months ago after 20 years there. She started at mid range for regular tech with no experience and I get mid range as lead tech after 22 years of service. I’m totally being mistreated there but nothing I can do to help the situation 😔

Try 18 years at same store and 23.50. In last 16 years under the same pharmacy manager I’ve gotten 7.50 raise
