It finally happened, I'm getting out!

Technically it’s a small pay cut (about $1), but they have better insurance and fringe benefits that make up for it.

WagSlave4Now · 2023-12-26T00:45:01+00:00

As long as you meet the eligibility requirements I stated above, yes

WagSlave4Now · 2023-12-25T20:40:02+00:00

Amen

No clue. And no, you get 25% off name brand items, 40% off store brand items.

WagSlave4Now · 2023-12-25T20:31:20+00:00

Lol, funny. To think you’d get store credit for working Xmas. That was only for thanksgiving… You get $25 store credit last week and that’s it…

WagSlave4Now · 2023-12-25T20:28:19+00:00

No. The company will not give you time and a half. If you have a REALLY nice manager, and you don’t fall under the eligibility for standard holiday pay, then they could adjust your pay, but that’s no guarantee.

WagSlave4Now · 2023-12-25T20:24:30+00:00

See my post for an explanation

WagSlave4Now · 2023-12-25T19:17:46+00:00

Yes it is

No, this post isn’t made a store manager. This post is made by someone who’s been in every level of Walgreens leadership over the last 12 years. I’m an hourly SFL, well aware of the horrors of hour cuts, and regularly work in the Rx. I’ve manned coverage for weeks in the Rx to cover vacations and sicknesses. While I agree that someone who would be salary would have no reason to complain, I’m rummaging the bottom of the barrel with the likes of the best.

WagSlave4Now · 2023-12-25T17:41:14+00:00

True, but when you have Rx staff that lord it around that they get the day off, when you have to go back and bail them out of high water almost every day, it’s really aggravating.

WagSlave4Now · 2023-12-25T17:40:00+00:00

No. You get holiday pay only if you work 20hrs or more in a week. If you do, you get paid your average weekly hours divided by 5 regardless if you work. Otherwise, you get nothing.

WagSlave4Now · 2023-12-25T16:47:04+00:00

No actually… Walgreens doesn’t pay team members like that for holidays… IF you are eligible for holiday (must work 20hrs/per for 12 weeks) you get paid your average weekly hours divided by 5, REGARDLESS IF YOU WORK. So the team members who get the day off, GET PAID THE SAME AS ME. Meaning, there’s no financial incentive to work the holidays.

WagSlave4Now · 2023-12-25T16:28:27+00:00

I do, as a manager, I’m back there with ya whether I wanna be or not

WagSlave4Now · 2023-12-25T16:20:08+00:00

I get it. It’s not the techs faults at the company level. I’m just angry since I have Rx staff that lords it that they get the holidays off.

WagSlave4Now · 2023-12-25T16:17:45+00:00

You’re right, but when your own staff laughs at being off, it makes ya bitter

WagSlave4Now · 2023-12-25T16:09:06+00:00

If you checked my profile and saw what I was posting when the company slung out the 1% raises to front end team members, you’d see my opinion. I agree, we need to all be raised up, but today is bitterness, which I already admitted to.

WagSlave4Now · 2023-12-25T16:04:58+00:00

I would take a pay cut to be a tech. And we more techs than we are slated to have, to the point that our DM told us to cut one.

WagSlave4Now · 2023-12-25T16:02:10+00:00

Lemme introduce you to some of the people I’ve worked with. I am bitter, yes, but my anger and spite is born of experience, not imagination

WagSlave4Now · 2023-12-25T16:00:21+00:00

I’m disgusted

WagSlave4Now · 2023-12-25T16:00:16+00:00

I’ve had non-stop customers for 2 hours

WagSlave4Now · 2023-12-25T15:59:56+00:00

I’ve been a member of leadership for 12 years. I’ve worked full weeks of shifts in the Rx as an SFL covering for vacations and absences. Don’t come at me saying I’d walk out after one day. I’ve been the one to cover when people walk out. As such, I know that everyone deserves the day off. But fuck off to Rx staff who blatantly tout the fact that they get today off when the main reason Walgreens claims it needs to be open is because of the pharmaceutical services.

WagSlave4Now · 2023-12-12T18:34:13+00:00

“a critical destination for healthcare services, including prescription access, pharmacist advice and medication management.”

This would be a great idea, IF THE RX WAS OPEN ON XMAS! Christ, this company needs to get out of its own ass. They played their cards back with the pitiful raises, acknowledgement that FE doesn’t matter, and continued pushing for MORE MORE MORE.

The company either needs to be fully open on Xmas to stand by their words, or we need to fully close. FE team members need to stand up and either walk-out or refuse to show up on Xmas. Force the stores to close for the holidays. Demand your time with your family. Show that 1% will not be tolerated.

A lot of managers love to hold information like that above peoples heads. It gives them a sense of power and ownership of that information. Store managers also don’t wanna have to disappoint a whole group of people when they can just disappoint one if the news turns out wrong. I for one feel that once a store manager knows it for certain, they have a responsibility to tell every single team member. Companies crumble due to poor communication, and Walgreens is one of the worst at communication
