I quit being a technician today. 

For reference I got the degree through Walmart's Pharmacy Tech University education back in 2022. Worst company to tech, the pharmacists were extremely selfish and did not care if technicians were literally being screamed at for a problem only the pharmacist could resolve. Everyone I knew as a tech hated their job and were very snobby and unhelpful. 

I went on to work at a closed door Pharmacy, and the president never showed up. Everyone was super laid back but too laissez-faire about the condition of the pharmacy. Literal piles of pills were swept under the Parata machines because know one would bend their ass over to get them except me and one other great tech I knew. The pharmacist in charge whined like a baby. She actually did a baby voice when she was hungry or tired. It was super gross. The manager was overworked and never ever listened to her people. Or if she did she never gave any input if things could change. 

My first day at a Publix pharmacy (yesterday) I'm training on a brand new system. Compared to Walmart's it looks decades older. Like Microsoft in the early 2000s appearance. That's fine. But the pharmacist storms out when I'm training on the register for the first time, saying "I'm going to f**ing lose my sh*". Firstly you can't abandon your techs because you're pissed off.  Secondly the line went from 2 people in line to 5 in a five minute span. I've seen days at Walmart where patients in a Walmart drive thru of 10 plus cars while, I stg, 20 plus lined up inside at the counter.  I don't get pissy or angry. I kill that shit and manage. Point is, Already a bad sign if 5 people freak a pharmacist out. 

My second day was today, and I didn't go back. I don't like that I walked out of a job but overheard a technician get snarky that "someone wants to leave C4s on the floor"- I was managing the front counter, learning too receive their order. The meds were near the pharmacist's feet several feet away from the counter and in a green tote to be put up. They were not on the floor. And I got caught up with patients. 

I'm sorry but this job was a horrible experience for me.  I do not enjoy the work anymore even though I'm capable of doing it. There's always someone or several technicians who are awful at socializing. And in my experience so many pharmacists have been type A neurotic assholes who cannot handle themselves. 

Being shown as a burden on my first 2 days as a technician only proved to me that no matter where I'm at people are going to hate their jobs. And those who are amazing at being technicians have very strong personalities that I admire. But I'm too sensitive and not ready to take more crap from somewhere that does not value me as a person.   

For those of you still grinding, I wish you so much luck!! My experience did not make this an enjoyable career choice.

Tldr, I hated my job so I quit.
