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.

The bonus this year is only 25% tied to individual store performance.

75% tied to company performance.

My individual store performance has absolutely nothing to do with the bonus payout relatively speaking.

I think we all know how Sycamore is going to do this with 75% of our bonus based on numbers they can make up out of thin air.

Do not lose sight however that the SM are still reviewed and bonused on full store EBITDA including the pharmacy. Even though the RXM does not report to me I will still be heavily involved in the pharmacy as it still effects my review.

Some of the HCS have been focused on recruiting and hiring activities since COVID wiped out the pharmacist pool. They have lost touch with day to day pharmacy operations. Can't wait to see those HCS have direct reports once again.

Yes! Now you really only need to hire someone capable of running the front end, which gets smaller and smaller everyday.

Simplifying the structure to make reducing the store manager role and salary easier.
