Thread regarding Walgreens layoffs

JUST ANOTHER ONE. Walgreens agrees to pay $100 million to resolve lawsuit over generic dr-g pricing

Where are you getting all this money from to pay? Corrupt company to its core. And accepts no Liability? Then why settle...because you know you are as guilty as you know what.
Walgreens
has agreed to pay $100 million to settle a proposed class action lawsuit accusing it of fraudulently overcharging customers for a decade when they bought generic dr-gs through private insurance, Medicare or Medicaid.

Walgreens was accused of wrongly requiring insured customers to pay more than members of its Prescription Savings Club, who for a low annual fee could buy more than 500 widely prescribed generic dr-gs for $5, $10 and $15 for 30-day prescriptions, and $10, $20 and $30 for 90-day prescriptions without using insurance.

In a filing on Friday in federal court in Chicago, lawyers for the class of plaintiffs suing the dr-gstore chain sought approval for the settlement, calling it an “excellent result” for the class.

“We admit no liability and believe these claims never had any merit,” a Walgreens spokesperson said in a statement. “This resolution allows us to focus on our turnaround strategy that will benefit our patients, customers, team members and shareholders.”

This is hilarious given its Compliance and Ethics week. The jokes write themselves.

More of the Company being purposely crippled/destroyed by the powers that be. This wasn’t even a lawsuit yet- but a ‘proposed’ suit. Good grief!!!

That means more layoffs since this is in the new FY - probably by Feb.

Throwing away $100M will "benefit our patients, customers, team members and shareholders". Can the leadership tell us how?

Never had any merit, but its best for all to pay and move on? for the team members? To focus? on what. Cowards.

“We admit no liability and believe these claims never had any merit,” a Walgreens spokesperson said in a statement. “This resolution allows us to focus on our turnaround strategy that will benefit our patients, customers, team members and shareholders.”

They are corrupt, unethical, fraudsters and they act like they have done nothing wrong, but pay millions and millions do have it go away while saying they have done nothing wrong. And did it for a DECADE. How do they sleep at night. But they can only pay 20 to 50 cent raises, while they are crooks. It's just nonstop.

Paying $100M to settle "claims that have no merit"!!! When will this leadership stop lying? How does Walgreens have this much money to throw at meritless claims?
