How we'll continue to function properly after this is beyond me. Nobody thinks about the future, they just care about what they can save right now.

@by+1kh4ft53f You have very valuable insight. Thank you for helping the FE. How much longer does Walgreens have do you think and what types of things do you think will happen in the near future. How do things play out. What clues are you seeing. What is consistent with your prior experience?
@by ChatGPT? Everything comes to an end. But not everything always ends when you think it will. You never know what tricks PE has to keep it going. A job is a job. To say the grass is greener any where would mean people people would have been smiling, not crying. People would have quit long ago. This is corporate America every where you go now. The secret is out.
Hate to say it, but it won’t function, along with many other teams. It’s far beyond any sort of recovery or miraculous business pivot of the decade fiction the spokespeople are trying to spin and pitch. I work on a very small, but mighty, team that supports FE on all matters of consequence and we still got hit, lost one. It was already severe triage “plug the dam” for years now, laughable really. I rode shotg-n on the very protracted death of another Chicagoland titan of industry and can tell you this is the very same death swirl/playbook all over again. Be warned, this will not be the protracted downfall that was. There’s no financial levers left to pull here to replenish the coffers, which will inevitably spook the Sycs,, ergo more ‘calibrations’ blah blah. It’ll be a sad broken less than skeleton crew up in here by mid/end of Q2 barely KTLA’ing. If you can find an out, by all mean, please take it.
While people who actually worked at the support office are being let go, there are other people at the support office who did a good job of “playing busy” being promoted to RVP’s….. Rite Aid 2.0 if you were lucky enough to be laid off you are the winners !!
I feel ya. We lost 4 today on my small team, a quarter of my team just gone. All managers or higher. Many more in our department also, lots of long timers.
Walgreens hasn't functioned properly for quite awhile now.
Which team?
