I was already at a store pulling solo 12 hour shifts/closed from 1:30-2 for lunch everyday, no overlap, yet was told my position was “no longer needed.” I helped get my former store to be one of the most profitable in the market. It was really just... — read more 

Coming directly from my old mentor who has been a staff for over 6 years, a good friend who's been a RXM for 3 and staff for 2, and one of their DMs: Over 500+ RPh fired nationwide (Float, staff, PICs, whoever it is above PICs, etc) Over 1K pharmacy... — read more 

Lost digital engagement hours (around 40 hours). 150 support hours now for 1400 scripts a week. Both cashiers were “randomly displaced” to find other jobs. Leaves 4 full time techs, 2 part time.

I was laid off today too after 5 years and increase in script count 5 percent and hitting 1100 flu shots this year with my team. I want to know what are the criteria for choosing me and who has chosen me?

Layoffs hit Orange County, California. Corporate chose the people that were laid off regardless of performance evaluations or ratings. Some of the highest performing techs were laid off. District Managers had no say as to who was getting let go. So... — read more 

Just found out yesterday that our store rph hours are being cut by 40 hours. This will cause at least one or more rph's to float around in the market to meet their base hours. This is just horrible! RPH's really need to get more vocal and start... — read more

In our NHM district everyone still employed is FT (80 hours)-working 12 hour shifts. Tons of summer PTO coming up to be covered. This doesn’t seem doable. Are they postponing anyone’s PTO due to no coverage?

Are those being laid off being paid for their unused PTO?

MHWD has no say In who got cut, it s---ed.

It's all about the basic supply/demand dynamics... I’m in SC, 3 new pharmacy schools opened here since 2010, with more in NC and GA and here’s the result. The entire profession suffers from over saturation. No jobs are available, current jobs get cut... — read more

I was an RXM in Florida. My staff pharmacist and I both were terminated at the beginning of June for “blatantly disregarding sop” which was absolutely ridiculous. Now it all makes sense. They were looking for something to terminate us for so they... — read more
