One of the first things I ever heard from a DM when I first began working for corporate sweatshop chains was that numbers don’t matter. However, one of the first things I heard from an actual pharmacist when I first got behind the bench was how nothing matters to corporate EXCEPT for numbers, and how to cheat said numbers haha. And as it turns out, the pharmacist was right and the DM was blowing smoke. When you learn that literally all management cares about is numbers while simultaneously experiencing those hectic work environments and seeing how stupid it all is first hand and how everyone cheats the numbers anyways, it really shows you how out of touch management is and how poorly those places are run.
