We are in such a bad shape

I can feel it everywhere and every day. Morale is non-existent. We all expect only bad news, piling up on top of an already bad work environment. And what does the leadership come up with? RTO. Any other strategy? Trying to save at least where the... — read more

New "What's Up" as of 2/15

Yet another tone deaf What's Up meeting. Neal Sample went out of his way talking at length about Planview at the end just to avoid the low morale question.

Tracy Brown Remains

The fact that Tim Wentworth and the Board feel there is value in having Tracy Brown as part of this organization tells you everything you need to know. This company is doomed. So many qualified and capable people have been run off by Roz, Hsiao, AND... — read more 

Time to ki-l off the BAE and BC’s

Only 50% of the BC stores are hitting their goals, less than 20% hit event goals. They are literally not creating enough value to be sustained. Most the BC’s bi--h and moan about 4 hours of tasking a week but have no issue twiddling thumbs and not... — read more

Layoffs are nothing new at Walgreens

Why can't people understand that layoffs are a fact of life at Walgreens and that they should always be anticipated? If you want job security, this is not the place where you will find it. I know most are upset we're having cuts once again, so am I... — read more

Short staffing is the issue

Working for a call center that supports the store pharmacy, it seems that many of our pharmacies are in chaos mostly due to short staffing. Lots of dissatisfied callers asking to speak with over-worked and burned out pharmacy staff. Pharmacy does not... — read more

Par for the course, the titanic continues

Walgreens stock plunges after dr-gstore chain slashes quarterly dividend nearly in half. It also marks the company’s first dividend cut in nearly five decades

CVS is just the same

I was going to apply and then I checked their page on here and what I found is that they have pretty much all the same issues that we have. I don't have any other choice where I live, so that means I'm kind of screwed or I have to add at least 90... — read more

Tim’s No. 1 focus?!

I was hoping it would be making money in order to not layoff more employees. But at least Tim, Ginger, and Tracey can feel all warm and fuzzy inside with a higher ESQ score. They’ve already cut our raises and bonuses despite the COL going up, but we... — read more

2024 will be no better

If you're smart and have options, now's the time to leave. With our current management, things can only get worse, not better. I've been searching for a new job for just a few weeks and I found that there are plenty of opportunities available. I... — read more

Walgreens needs to return to its roots.....

Step 1: Let's admit it, the Boots Alliance Healthcare merger (reverse take-over) was a complete failure. Boots has done nothing to help Walgreens, in fact the stock has only suffered since they merged. Dump them, go back to being a national company... — read more

Amazon

Walgreens is going to be sold off to Amazon. They will be closing many stores while keeping select stores as filling and shipping hubs to move to the online model while reducing overhead. A brilliant move by Amazon.

So the leadership continues to make extremely questionable decisions - the 200 building was in agreement to be sold. They have paid $10 MILLION to buy it back. The joke - the seller won’t give the parking included so we will be paying to lease the... — read more
