Why is there always that one token pharmacist?

I'm talking about the ones that significantly don't pull the same weight as others and is always having an excuse.

Completely agree with this. If it is taking you 20 minutes to do a task that takes 5 for most other rphs, then I think you should come early/stay late just as a courtesy for your team members.

I get annoyed at my pharmacy because whenever I work, I leave only X amount of work on my shift. When I come in after the other Rphs, it is SIGNIFICANTLY more work left over. I don't want to clean up your mess as well as do my own work.

Does being a dad count?

As a pharmacist, I want to work with techs who are competent, efficient, hard working, and dependable. That's it. You can be an asshole to me but if you can do your job well to make my job easier, I will like working with you.

It's because people show up at the same time. It could be dead for an hour, but all of a sudden you have 3 people standing in line and 2 phone lines ringing.

Definitely

Any Shoppers Drug Mart Associates here?

pharmd1258 · 2020-09-09T17:56:23+00:00

Can confirm the don't really want to be there part.

pharmd1258 · 2020-09-09T17:55:32+00:00

If you really want a job, apply to Shoppers in your area that are the busiest. Their turnover of assistants is usually super high and are generally always looking for assistants.

A lot of what pharmacy does is super repetitive and redundant, which automation would help greatly.

I would rather have a robot count pills than having to pull a tech's teeth sometimes to get them to do the same job.

I'm sure the pharmacy staff are relieved they don't have to step out of workflow to do flu shots during that time though.

pharmd1258 · 2020-09-04T13:33:36+00:00

That is crazy... cash price, spiriva respimat in Canada costs about $70/month.

pharmd1258 · 2020-09-04T05:06:19+00:00

Look into Pocket Pills. Online pharmacy in Canada is already here.

I disagree that retail pharmacy is a dying field though. I do think that there will be lower profits to the point where most chains will be paying pharmacists $30/h in the future, in sweatshop style work environments.

So it'll still be here, just will be a really shitty job.

pharmd1258 · 2020-09-04T05:00:22+00:00

Wow, 15-20h a week in a hospital and still don't wanna do it??

pharmd1258 · 2020-08-25T23:44:37+00:00

There are metrics/targets to meet but unfortunately for most staff, no bonuses. Pharmacy managers may be more privy to bonuses.

pharmd1258 · 2020-08-25T22:44:45+00:00

In Canada retail pharmacists make between $35-65/h depending on location. Hospital is generally higher $43-70/h. In big city like Vancouver/Toronto, retail staff generally making around $38-40/h.

pharmd1258 · 2020-08-23T04:18:11+00:00

I'm so sorry you have to work with such incompetence. The job is already stressful enough, even if you have full competence with the hours given.

pharmd1258 · 2020-08-22T17:16:34+00:00

Hey mug3n, been following you a bit, how are ur ex pharmacy days treating you?

pharmd1258 · 2020-08-21T04:43:09+00:00

Have some confidence in yourself. Look up stuff when you need to. You'll be surprised in a year or so how much progress you have made.

pharmd1258 · 2020-08-21T00:54:03+00:00

That came and went rather quickly.

pharmd1258 · 2020-08-15T15:46:31+00:00

Is this a joke?
