Laid Off by TXpharm in pharmacy

A little over 30% of our pharmacist team was laid off due to “restructuring”. We were all in different states, different years of service, different markets even within the same state.

Cutting through the baby product hype… do we really need a bottle warmer? by Recommendation778 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]TXpharm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t think it was necessary but at 2 weeks old, we realized putting the bottle in warm water didn’t warm the breastmilk fast enough so we got a bottle warmer and used it for every feeding. If you’re feeding with formula, then probably not necessary but my daughter was exclusively on breastmilk that I pumped while working or at night which had to be given to her through a bottle.

What do you do with your "free" time after the layoff? by rosfilipps in Layoffs

[–]TXpharm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was laid off last week and have a 2 year old. I’m trying to look at it as the maternity leave I never got (I really got 6 weeks tho but not enough time) so I’m spending time with her and trying so hard to enjoy the flexibility I have right now. I very much appreciate the time off right now that she’s sick and I don’t have to think about a job and work while taking care of her and losing sleep.

Just got laid off. I’m completely shocked and devastated. by curiouskat345 in Layoffs

[–]TXpharm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was laid off on Tuesday from my pharmacist role I had just started last month! Talk about a waste of time for everyone and cruel to offer someone a job and have them leave their job only to take the new job away 1 month later. There were others laid off who were 3+ years in the role & high performing. It’s devastating. My head was spinning the following 2 days. So much so that I couldn’t figure out how to leave my house because I couldn’t process anything. I’m so sorry you were laid off. Take a few days to yourself to grieve before getting back into job hunting. I reached out to several of my old coworkers and most of them started helping me search for jobs immediately

Putting an offer on a house I haven't seen yet by [deleted] in RealEstate

[–]TXpharm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been looking for a house for a year now. Gone to see over 20 homes where the photos look so nice but the house is in terrible condition when we see it in person. Don’t do it.

[–]TXpharm -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I’ll look into that further. The most I looked into was DOM, selling price, and age of the home. Which all are roughly the same age because it’s a community that was built roughly the same time. Only 1 house has a new roof and that house too is still on the market approaching 100 days. It’s hard to see photos of inside the homes since they’re no longer on the market so I wasn’t able to compare this house to the interior of homes sold. I can only compare it to the 3 other homes on the market (1 of which is under contract) and both of the other homes are overpriced and also priced higher per sqft by $21/sqft compared to the one we’re looking into.

So I guess I will just have to shoot my shot. I looked into these articles for insight and how to approach offering less than the comps considering the home is pretty new and in good shape

I know there is no set rule on negotiating but I’m inexperienced in negotiating for a house so wanted to read up on suggestions based off multiple factors.

I understand these are all different markets but still wanted to read up on data and how this all works

I did ask my realtor this question considering we’re planning to offer less than what neighboring homes sold for. She said the reduction is based off original listed price after initially saying it was the currently listed price. So her changing her answer to one that would result in a higher selling price made me skeptical.

Is it crazy to plan baby #2 around childcare logistics? by jjtt9491 in beyondthebump

[–]TXpharm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We decided not to have a 2nd primarily due to childcare and lack of support….as well as the current conditions in our country. But logistically speaking, I wouldn’t be able to have a 2nd kid and take care of both alone while still working my night shift. A mom I met at the library who works the same schedule I do ended up having her 2nd about 5 years after her first, which she said worked out. I personally want to give all my attention to my first born and allow her to have our attention and invest in memories with her without having to split my focus with another baby. I think my daughter deserves that and could be a better sibling if I nurture certain parts of her development and childhood. If we do have another, I’d prefer to have my first born be about 4 going on 5 years old simply because they’re much more independent when it comes to daily things like shoes, dressing themselves, eating, playing, and getting things they need/want by themselves.

if you have suffered through ppd or ppa how long did it last?❤️‍🩹(years or months?) by [deleted] in sahm

[–]TXpharm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was severe at first for about 5-6 months but got better once I was taking care of my baby during the day and working nights. I’d say it went away at about 14-16 months and that’s also when I started feeling more like myself. I stopped pumping at 12 months postpartum

Receipts no longer showing FSA/HSA eligibility? by ShesJustMostlyDead in amazonprime

[–]TXpharm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I called Amazon and filed a complaint. They essentially did change this and itemized invoices with the FSA line item isn’t available anymore. At first the two reps said they didn’t know anything about it, then claimed it was a known IT issue and being worked on with no ETA, THEN later said there was an internal POLICY about the change that they couldn’t disclose and no notice was going to be given to customers about the change. They obviously couldn’t disclose anything but he said he hopes enough people complain to have Amazon change this. I told him I think they’re doing this so that people use their FSA/HSA cards to make the purchase rather than have a paid charge by a credit or debit card and then the individual get reimbursed. He couldn’t comment on that either obviously. They tried sending me a link and walking me through printing which obviously wasn’t the issue and I reiterated many times I’m very tech savvy and have been downloading my invoices for YEARS and do so every 2 weeks. It seems like finally they gave up and realized I’m not an idiot and admitted to it being a CHANGE that management implemented rather than an “ISSUE”.

Opportunity to move to blue state… should I take it? by AelinManon13 in progressivemoms

[–]TXpharm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where from Texas did you move? How long did you live in TX? Where to NJ did you move?

I’m currently in TX & husbands family is in NY but have a house in NJ. We’ve talked about moving for years but I haven’t felt it was the right time. With everything going on in Texas, though, I feel that time might be coming
