Topics regarding layoffs at Walgreens

Getting laid off was a blessing

Except for the general anxiety of finding a new job, getting laid off from this company was the best thing ever. Upper management is incredibly disorganized, out of touch with staff, and ridiculous with demands. Can’t tell you how many... — read more 

A pharmacists worse nightmare!!

The pharmacist that manages their store reports to a non pharmacist that has no clue about what a pharmacist has to deal with. The company could eliminate ALL of these individuals, as they are completely incompetent and useless.

Too high expectations from employees

I'm exhausted. The fact alone that I'm still here makes me feel drained and miserable. Does it shock you when, in addition to everything you already do, they try to add even more to your plate? They just don't know when enough is enough.

Unionize!

Times like these are hot glowing reminders that there is power in numbers and collective bargaining. We create their products! We provide their services! We maintain everything! What do they do but put on a facade of "expert decision making" that... — read more 

Hope everyone finds a much better job

I was really surprised when I found out about my colleagues who got cut because they always did a fantastic job. If it means anything to anyone in this stressful period, I don't know anyone who didn't get a much better opportunity after Walgreens... — read more 

DM Next in line for layoffs

If your a DM start looking for a new job. Ever since they remove the metrics. DM position became irrelevant.

Lost institutional knowledge

I am still trying to get over the fact that so many fantastic employees have been told they are no longer needed here. What is the future of this place without such talents? I want to leave here as soon as possible.

Asset Protection Solutions Inevitable Demise

I empathize deeply with the affected individuals in the APPs. It is evident to anyone with even a modicum of foresight that the current cuts in the APPs were a foreseeable outcome. This situation directly reflects the inadequate management under the... — read more 

We're still not done

I think there'll be more cuts in the coming weeks/months. Things have started to go downhill and I don't see that things will be getting better any time soon. I expect that layoffs will be the norm, sadly. I'm considering finding a way out, while... — read more 

Can anybody confirm, please?

If I don't have a 1:1 meeting on my calendar, does that mean I'm safe? I don't know how many people have been notified already and how many are left to go, but I'm hoping beyond hope that at least all meetings have been set up. I can't afford to lose... — read more 

10% of corporate workforce layoff

Just announced. Honestly after 8 months of work ring here I pray I’m one that gets the sweet relief of severance from this he-l hole.

More layoffs this week

Another round of layoffs this week - the operations team had their positions eliminated (East and west). This makes me think there will be more coming.

Not enough yet?

Why would anyone ever put money into this stock. Show this to the SO called CEO. What's it take to be embarrassed, just asking. On Jan. 2, 2015, shares of Walgreens Boots Alliance closed at a price of $76. While it did initially rise in value, the... — read more

Lots of people are lay off but management is not telling . Around 40% are layed off. Mostly consultants. Is this number correct? I don't think its 40%, but rather close to 70%. Still they are not telling if work will start from 19th March or... — read more

Are we opening any new stores?

It feels as if every day I see a new announcement about a closing location and I don't remember when was the last time I heard about new ones opening. Is the goal to reduce the overall footprint, one store at the time? I can't help but worry about... — read more
