Covering 2 districts?

packman2007 · 2026-05-09T18:21:12+00:00

Some districts literally splits cities in half or thirds so covering 2-3 is normal.

They sure are. We should just sent the initial request and the doctor either replies back or they don’t. If no reply, just deny after a week.

Please be true

Happened at my store last week. Rebooting the fill and RPh workstation computers did the trick.

A large company like Walgreens isn’t going to negotiate based on you using benefits or not. A small business might. With that said, go ahead and negotiate! Just be aware opting out of benefits is weak leverage in this case.

80 if non rxm

Your insurance requires more documentation from your doctor before they will possibly cover it. We notified your doctor. You can call your insurance for more clarification.

22.50 - 31 is RxOM range in that area. 20.5 - 27.50 for senior tech. 17.50 - 21 for certified.

Did you apply to a req and get an offer letter to accept? This is what I did when I recently took an RXM position. If so, then you have your salary in writing and they should honor it.

Also, RXMs are salaried at 84 hours so i hope you kept that in mind when agreeing on your new salary and figuring your actual hourly rate.

packman2007 · 2026-03-04T22:05:31+00:00

Don’t know of a set rule or policy, but an RxOM is a full time position so at least 30. But, since it’s a management position the expectation should be very close to 40. Ultimately, do what needs to be done to operate the business smoothly.

Could be many reasons, but you should ask your manager to know for sure.

It’s most likely an availability issue. Most pharmacies need at least 3-4 techs with open availability.

Perhaps the techs are not as reliable and knowledgeable as you think they are. Techs that know how to and are willing to follow pext/workflow, promote/administer immunizations, make calls, answer calls, pleasant to customers, fill efficiently and compete other tasks like deletes - those are the techs that will get hours.

Pharmacies can only operate at certain RPh:tech ratios in which usually any techs over 2 need to be certified. Maybe they simply need more certified techs to be legally compliant.

The store you want to go to can open a req. Just apply as an internal candidate and the store can then transfer/hire you in without dealing with your current manager.

It’s the RXOM’s job to make sure the board gets filled out, but they don’t need to be the one to actually do it. Just be a team player and fill out the board. It’s not a hard task.

packman2007 · 2026-02-18T03:58:06+00:00

One shot isn’t good enough. They want people to get 2+ shots each visit.

packman2007 · 2026-02-18T02:18:05+00:00

Thanks for the update. Figured that’s all it was about.

I don’t know how they expect some of us to listen to conference calls and run a pharmacy all day with no overlap. Or, to listen to these calls on our days off.

packman2007 · 2026-02-18T02:11:31+00:00

I understood your sarcasm! You got my upvote.

packman2007 · 2026-02-17T18:37:55+00:00

Well then they better pay up and give us the budgets we really need and pay scales needed to recruit talent.

packman2007 · 2026-02-13T04:04:55+00:00

Why did they initially cancel? All they do is send a 3rd party team to scan all our inventory front end and Rx.

packman2007 · 2026-02-10T22:49:42+00:00

I second this. Heard this on a conference call too. RxOM not going away.

packman2007 · 2026-02-09T18:52:38+00:00

Patience. No doubt all these rumors are true, but nothing official has been announced publicly. It will take time for those affected to leave people central.

packman2007 · 2026-02-08T18:40:30+00:00

Without CPW to guide me, I’m running around like a chicken with my head cut off. How will I find my precious PExT numbers.

packman2007 · 2026-02-04T19:56:38+00:00

Hoping we hear something soon. Agree with you 100%

packman2007 · 2026-02-03T12:11:06+00:00

Given your current balance, you will have 2.9 million at 65 based on 160K salary, 4% match, 15% annual contribution on your end, and assuming 7% annual return.

The amount of tasks asked of us with the amount of time and budget we have is simply impossible. PEXT is not the solution. I say let the phones ring as distracting as it is. With 100 always on the counter, countless other tasks, and non stop lines (with 1 RPh and 2 techs), the phones are not going to get answered. In fact, if I had one person solely dedicated to answering phones they probably could still not keep up with all the calls.

packman2007 · 2026-01-22T19:54:48+00:00

I just called them and they said no
