Has anyone heard anything? Doesn't seem like its today, but maybe my org hasn't been hit yet.

I'm hearing some HCS were laid off today. Loads of DM. Any other roles?

Biggest surprise for me was the HCS, we can't keep our pharmacy open, but they fired the pharmacists? Our HCS used to be my pharmacy manager and she was one of the best pharmacists I've ever worked for. Why wouldn't they offer a step down? Same for DM, there are SM positions open.

Walgreens did a pilot store in which there were not ad tags. Instead, you received 20% off everything in the store if you paid like $5 a month for "Walgreens Plus."

It was basically the in-store version of a subscription.

It was never rolled out though after the pilot study.

More than 70% of the Sycamore deal is financed through debt, meaning that the private equity firm doesn’t have “much skin in the game,” according to Parr. The risks of bankruptcy are especially troubling, according to the Private Equity Stakeholder Project. In the first quarter of this year alone, 70% of large U.S. corporate bankruptcies involved private equity-owned companies, despite private equity making up only 6.5% of the economy.
