Reporting structure changing for stores

RXM no longer reports to store manager as of March 1.

RXM will report directly to District Pharmacy Supervisor (performance, discipline, and evaluation/coaching all owned by DPS).

Dotted line reporting means the MGR and RXM are "true partners" as explained in documentation released today.

This means neither one is accountable to each other, and neither one has authority to enforce.

Great news for RXMs that didn't want to have an MGR for a boss.

Great news for an MGR that now has documented evidence they are no longer the accountable party for the pharmacy.

Don't be fooled with the 1 box speak, the HR policies regarding organization charts with respect to direct line reporting are very clear.

Store managers you are not in any way shape or form responsible or accountable for the pharmacy any longer.

Pharmacy managers you are in no way shape or form responsible or accountable for what happens on the front end.

Now totally divided.


Dan's right

He correctly identified many of our weaknesses. That's half the battle--fixing all that won't be so easy.
And he did show that he has some common sense in getting rid of that ridiculous "hub or no promotion" policy. I'd say that bodes well for WFH going forward (perhaps that's wishful thinking).


35 Miles. No Clear Expectations.

How is it that whether the 35 mile rule applies depends on which leader you talk to? Some executives are telling teams that anyone living more than 35 miles from a corporate hub will be considered remote, while others insist there are no mileage exemptions at all. I'm seeing teammates receive different rules based on their department or their manager.

If leadership intends to allow mileage based exceptions, those criteria should be published so everyone knows who qualifies and why, instead of decisions being made behind closed doors. Teammates, myself included, have reorganized their lives around previously communicated expectations about remote work deserve clear answers. Is there or isn’t there a 35 mile policy?


EEOC and lawyers

Decades ago HR liaisons were very accessible. These days, HR always directs us back to our business lines. I’ve discovered that our business lines can be secretive and coy when inquiring about company policies. Never in my lifetime, here at this company, did I ever think I would be having to deal with lawyers and the EEOC just to determine my status with the company, policies, and procedures.
I highly suggest everyone on this message board simply go and send your inquiries to the EEOC and talk to lawyers about how to navigate these uncertainties in the company.
There are people who specialize in assisting employees of this company navigate their employment rights.
I’ve always wanted to be an exceptional employee. I just don’t have the time or the patience to navigate company policies and do my job at the same time.
I wish you all the best. I’m trying to determine the best route to take. Hoping I can sign my severance paperwork, soon. Though, somewhere in the back of my mind, I think I’ll be terminated with cause. No way in h*ll am I going to resign and have to give 60 days notice.
I’ll just keep collecting paychecks until they literally show me the door.
Good luck, all.


Healthcare plan

I heard they were ditching it and instead going to give us $2500/$5000 on Jan 1 to put towards purchasing health insurance from the state exchange. I went in the web to see how much that would cost and it's over $1800/ mo so that's not even 3 mos they'd be paying for.

Can anyone confirm if this is true?


The Servant Leader Was Asleep at the Wheel

I was recently speaking with a friend who asked me about JD who she worked under at Bain. After listening to my rant, she expressed surprise that he was focused on DEI at Nike. She said that certainly wasn't the case at Bain as evidenced by the fact that once she became pregnant she quickly learned the company had no maternity policy. I thought JD was always singularly focused on serving his troops? When I mentioned that JD was now the AD at her alma mater Stanford, she just winced.


Illegal cell phone use

So, we have to use our cell phone on the floor for beauty, fine jewelry,and other associates. Sales floor App! Belk doesn't pay for that use nor is it in a contract with the associates. They dont compensate you for cell phone use that makes them money. But you get in trouble if you don't use it or actively using it? There has to be a law against this.
