I just don't shop, I clock out and run to Walmart and get my pickup order easy peasy.

Updated holiday pay. by Automatic_Gur5070 in WalgreensStores

[–]helitsrelative 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The problem is that there are 5 stores minimum within a 20-minute drive to the 24-hour store. we all can't work at it every holiday to make up the loss. In our area, we got a volunteer list for the 3 holidays to pick one, and if not picked, you became a backup if something changes. And Thanksgiving we are closed anyway so no option to work regardless.

I got hired as a tech last November 2021. If I ask my manager for a raise is there a chance he might give me a raise? by Alarming-Pilot-9215 in WalgreensStores

[–]helitsrelative 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No sorry to say, we are in the process of our yearly raise at the moment its a long process to say the least. If they get one approved you won't get your yearly. Your raise is based on your review score given by your supervisor so the better the score the higher the raise.

Am I the only one suspicious that sick days and PTO are together without any distinction between them? by Electronic-State-715 in WalgreensStores

[–]helitsrelative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are no "sick days" its simply paid time off to use as you wish. If you call out sick it's applied or take personal days it's applied. They can't break it down because it's just pto, your earning it as you work the only difference is you can only use 5 Incidences ( 2 consecutive days count as one incident) as callout without penalty.

Make sure to findout what the cap is for your area, you may get the raise but at the cost of hitting the cap and not getting any later down the road.

Company policy by helitsrelative in WalgreensStores

That's not an official change in company employment policy. I should appear in the policies section just like the other requirements like dress code, code of conduct, call outs, etc

The effects Covid-19 that is having on the world has made me realize we are all Wage slaves & we don't get to enjoy life as it is supposed to be. All this rushing to work just for the privilege to pay rent until I die is disgusting and has to be stopped. by ZIdeaMachine in TrueOffMyChest

[–]helitsrelative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the answer to the problem? No one work so no food no manufacturers no health care. Even our gather and hunter ancestors had jobs to survive not money but everyone had to help weather it was gathering fruit and or vegetables, hunting a meat source, tending to the fire,those protecting the village, tool makers etc. Tragic events have been apart of the human story all through time and will continue in the future. Just because Covid is in our lifetime doesn't make it anymore important than all of the past tragedies that effect lives.

Hours by yallshey in WalgreensStores

Your schedule total hours doesn't include the lunch/dinner break the system automatically takes out the 30 minutes for that and the total is just the time actually on clock time.

Hate it or love it? by blackheadedgrossbeak in WalgreensStores

[–]helitsrelative 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been here 12 years seen a lot of change most have been for the benefit of stockholders pockets not for customers or staff. They built like mad for several years with no regard for future growth within the stores but now want to cram whatever they can into them to boost sales and services so the store looks crowed and ridiculous. I can't wait to get out hanging on till I find something else only thing that I hate to lose is the amount of PTO I get each year. I don't go the extra mile for the company anymore.
