It's Called Integrity.....Right?

- about 1 week ago
Hey WAG,
there was an old saying years ago about a man that would lie about enjoying a cold shower in the morning. would lie about everything else...it was kind of parable about integrity.

But, just a thought. What if the little prissy prima Donna's that routinely come in late and leave early or better yet routinely call in sick the day before or after holidays year after year after year...felt Justifed" in removing Class II's from stock?

You know the attitude WAG , after all is stealing from them(no bonus, increased work)... and Class II's are so profitable on the street's in certain states...Naaaah!. Besides, don't you guys in corporate routinely review the results of those periodic narcotic inventories???.

It's not likely that certain stores would routinely be short of Class II's right? But then again, wouldn't it better for WAG to investigate something like this rather than the public....or better yet the DEA?

Give ya a hint.....why don't ya start by asking the people that get stuck finding replacements for people that routinely call in sick around the holidays.. they would probably know.....like the old parable.....it goes to integrity... Luv ya WAG

Deja Vu and the Law of Dimiinishing Returns.

- about 3 weeks ago
Hey Wag,
Doesn't anybody in Corporate know bout the "law of diminishing returns"? Ya cut staff, decrease hours and make a feeble attempt to reinvent the model of taking pills outta the big bottle...aw ya know. You've pretty much followed the format of pharmacy chains such as Revco, that were thought too big to fail.

Ya know, before Revco went belly up, they actually terminated store managers and made the pharmacists store managers....could anybody in their right mind be that stupid to take pharmacist's trained in therapeutics and imagine that....well ya get the idea.

Not to worry, because Walgreens corporate is not that stupid nor desperate.....right?

Dominoes fall uphill?

- about 1 month ago
Hey WAG,
How's the real estate market in South Florida?...You know Orlando? It's kinda hard to outsource jobs and resources to Orlando when your staff in the Power facility use any reason to send verification or F4's back to the store because they are too dammed lazy or scared to verify controlled RX's.

But then again with the DEA investigating South Florida...well you get the idea.

One of the pharmacy industry's biggest money maker was Class II's and now it's the Old Maid card that everybody wants someone else to take(team player} yet still get the money.

Curious tho...DEA apparently has become silent....couldn't be like the tv show "Justified" where the cops are corrupt could it? Nahhh!, that's just TV fiction about Florida being the Oxycontin Express....Right?

First, trouble in South Florida then Orlando then.......maybe dominoes{not the pizza) can fall uphill and spread throughout Florida...Big Snicker

Nobody wants to date the town whorre except the town pervert.....and the loving couple wonders why people are beginning to avoid them....economically speaking.

Gee WAG, was it my imagination that Cardinal had been investigated for not questioning OXY sales to CVS.

I wonder who else Cardinal was supplying Oxy to in Florida?

This could be a little awkward should some DM in some major pharmacy chain suggest that their RXMS be team players and not look so closely at Class IIs. Not that you and I know anyone that desperate to look profitable on paper right?

Luv ya WAG. Ya do know that team players bullied into crossing the proverbial line for the sake of the team usually wind up taking a hit for the team? Usually the hit eeuquilavent to an economic and legal Mac truck?

I am glad to be gone!

about
I started out at Walgreens on the sales floor in 2002. I moved up to Photo lab and then Sims and I loved what I did and the company treated us well. I moved to Pharmacy at a different store in 2006 and things were really great. I noticed things starting to go downhill in 2009 and hours and benefits and the overall caring for employees just died off. I was a Senior Certified Pharmacy Tech and busted my butt every day with no thanks from my manager... Unless big wigs were around and then he bought pizza and made it seem like he really cared. I had enough in 2011 and left in the spring. It has been the best move I have ever made. Walgreens is out of touch with caring and its employees and it really bothers me to think of how greedy they have become. Good luck to all those that are trying to make a living there.
