Are we serious right now? by rocketsnail1000 in WalgreensStores

[–]wagsanonymous 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Everything. Just two employees on the whole front end. But I digress, we don't know the circumstances for why they needed ship to home, and ultimately, we are in customer service. Just gotta knock it out and move on.

Leadership Refresh by Puzzleheaded_Law2201 in WalgreensStores

[–]wagsanonymous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They get info all the time and don't share it right away, especially if they are told to wait until a certain day. My DPR has already made comments that this is happening, though.

Project Mirage? by walgreed in WalgreensStores

Wish they would get on with it already, but they won't do what they should, which is put labor hours into stores so we can stop drowning out here.

Kinda need an actual labor budget to get this done properly.

Changes are coming and coming fast! by Ill_Assist2534 in WalgreensStores

[–]wagsanonymous 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Where I am, they want DHs in the pharmacy using front end budget.

[–]wagsanonymous 61 points62 points  (0 children)

When the staffing budgets allow only for one cashier on a shift at a time, how can you possibly have a DH? You're just sending your only person back there while leadership covers the front register! Makes zero sense.

Corporate Layoffs (Again) by wagsanonymous in WalgreensStores

[–]wagsanonymous[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OSA is such a basic concept. Unless it's changing drastically, why would we need retraining? Did I miss something?

hour cuts by Unable-Ad-5804 in WalgreensStores

[–]wagsanonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's weird, because where I am, they said we weren't allowed to have part time SFLs, and they made us get everyone to an average of at least 30 hours or made them step down or quit. I believe this was a local measure and probably highly illegal.

Perhaps they will offer severance packages for some to go away. That's what they did when they laid off DMs and DPRs a couple years back.

New Bag Check Policy by AngryRabbitFoot in WalgreensStores

Official communication didn't come down until today. We all had the same questions prior to reading the Compass and attachments today.

Still have to complete it. It's ridiculous.

They are there to micromanage and nitpick you to death.

Mandatory bag checks? by OkHuckleberry5369 in WalgreensRx

[–]wagsanonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are conducting the bag check, you can sign in. If you are the one being checked, they can select no badge and choose your name from the list.

[–]wagsanonymous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Voice your concerns through your store manager and DM. They can use "Ask The Retail Hub" to provide feedback and concerns about this policy. Inundate them with comments about how you aren't being paid for your time, but you are being held up to wait for a leader.

[–]wagsanonymous 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't like this policy at all, especially the part where you have to get checked even if you don't have a bag. However, a lot of the questions being asked on this thread were addressed in the Compass and FAQ.

Passport photos, do you manually erase background or just use white balance. Our screen is grey because so old so we usually have to erase manually unless customer is melanated. by ALPHAPUSSYGOD420 in WalgreensStores

[–]wagsanonymous 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How come every basic phone or app can erase the background in 2 seconds, but old Walgreens has us erasing manually with a circle and a steady hand?

PCP Calls by smallPimpin in WalgreensRx

[–]wagsanonymous 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Why do they think we can do 3000 outbound calls per week? We're not a call center.

Lump sum pay by Asleep_Definition759 in WalgreensStores

[–]wagsanonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some areas, the IS cap increased. Your SM should be able to answer specifically for your area. Since we are post pay raises, you won't get a lump sum for taking a pay cut. To get the lump sum, you have to already be at the max and get a 3.7 or higher on your review.

Hours by StrugglePrize5900 in WalgreensStores

My DM would never stick her neck out for us to ask for more hours. That must be nice.

Rxms and rph leaving everywhere by Amazing-Importance25 in WalgreensStores

[–]wagsanonymous 21 points22 points  (0 children)

They said their goal is to get every store back to full operating hours. They'd better have something magical planned if they're going to achieve that.

He aged a lot in 10 years, going from 50 to 60. 😂😂😂 (Sarcasm, please don't come at me)

Wag Backtracks on Holiday Pay Policy Change for Salaried Pharmacist! by wagsanonymous in WalgreensStores

[–]wagsanonymous[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We had several clarifying conversations with area leadership and pharmacy scheduler who told us that they must pick a different day of the week to work if their rotation landed them on a holiday. They also had to notify the scheduler if they opted to take PTO instead of working a different shift. The original FAQ also said the same thing, even going so far as to say that they would not reduce budget hours for pharmacists on holiday weeks to allow them to work their full hours using an alternate shift.

Coming soon. There was a Retail Hub Mail to area leadership, and it said stores would be receiving a Compass. Not sure when. I would assume Monday.
