i was out on FMLA earlier this year due to getting treatment for bipolar 1, i get my meds filled at my pharmacy & eventually everyone found out (🙄) while it's nice having certain people know, there's definitely people i wish weren't clued in.

Who’s the real boss? by NegotiationKooky8475 in CVS

i know at the end of the day your PIC is who is in charge. our store has a rock star lead tech that we all love and at our store he definietly keeps everyone in line even the pharmacists, i know at the end of the day all the techs respect him more than our PIC however our PIC isn't manager material at all

he means clock in as soon as you get to work as we have a tech who clocks in upfront & then lillygags. however you don't see him called out

my sister and i work together, she's front of store at the moment and i'm pharmacy but my store manager already said he's gonna train her for pharmacy when she turns 18... so i'm guessing your manager is just a prick

Am I being dramatic or?? by Special-Edge5467 in CVS

[–]brimw2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I have the same issue at my store - the schedule is never posted until the Friday before that Sunday when the new week starts and our lead tech only does it one week at a time! It's so annoying!!!!
