Staffing at WAGS starting in 2015 ?
Did anyone watch the Team Member town hall on Friday, Nov. 7?
The mentioned the big changes that are happening on 2015 but “we’ll tell you the specifics when we’re able to”. The also mentioned multiple times that we have “to execute better” and we need to “significantly cut costs”.
Has anyone heard anything more specific than this? What’s happening in 2015? Some SPECULATE that DMs will be gone and RXS will be running the show???
This is REAL and ACCURATE info. Most of the DM’s will be let go. ALL the CL’s will be taken out of their stores and take on more stores since DM’s will be gone. Some DMs will be offered a CL position or take a buyout. Asm’s will be promoted to the CL stores. Some CL’s will take store manager positions again in the cases of DM’s taking on a CL role. This is NOT BS
Majority of 24hr pharmacies are going 6am and 8am -midnight. Florida and Texas are starting next week.

Anyways replies to my story (truth)
I’ve filled four complaints against the pharmacy in general. The last complaint which was made because the main pharmacist in charge was on vacation so, of course there was another “temp pharmacist”. I came in 1 day before my refill was due and as the pharmacy technician like always has to ask the pharmacist “temp” at this moment and its a C2 controlled substance. I know that They have the medicine in stock but after the temp pharmacist looked at my prescription, without even looking by checking the safe where the regular full pharmacist has to go to fill it. He bluntly lied to my face and informed me that he didn’t have that prescription in stock and like the majority of pharmacist assumed I’m some drug seeking addict.. But, anyways I first informed him that sir, you do I fact have it in stock as the main pharmacist keeps it in stock as I get it filled every month. I then continued to direct him to please actually open the safe under you and actually look. Guess what…? He has it!!! Go figured right. Then, as I’m still standing there with people other customers behinde me, he looks at my prescription and looks at the bottle of medicine that he said he did t have then looked at me and loudly asked from the middle of the pharmacy area ” WHAT ARE YOU GETTING TREATED FOR??” He DID NOT ASK ME TO come to the CONSULTANT DESK and I was already embarrassed by the way he was treating me then I had to loudly answer back where everyone else in line and also picking up their rx in another line could hear and know all of my medical problems and personal health and private information. After I told him what I was getting treated for he finally filled the rx..of course I had to wait over 30 minutes as I’m sure he wanted to verify the rx whih is TOTALLY fine with me and should have either done that in the first place and or ask to see me at the consultation desk and ask me what I’m getting treated for. I’ll never forget this and nener forgive cvs for this..Tim the temp pharmacist was in the wrong, violated my
Hippa rights, and treated me unjustly. After I left I was mortified, embarrassed, depressed that I had to go through this. I looked up if there was anything I could do and I got advice from pharmacist Steve stating to file a complaint regarding CVS ciolsting my hippa rights and also I filled s complaint with the Louisiana board of pharmacy. Well, after CVS got a call from a compliance officer and spoke to the main pharmacist Jessica … I got an email from the compliance officer stating he spoke to Jessica and asked her to cal me and try to resolve the issue. About an hour later I do get s call,but Jessica just says she no longer feels comfortable filling ANY of my prescriptions.
I will continue to tell my story regarding I was treated, labeled, and punished for filling s complaint. The point of complaints is to be able to provide feedback and the store or company to better themselves and their customer service.. But, now I have to drive about over an hour round trip to get my prescriptions now. Lawyers tell me that it would cost me more money to possibly just slap them with a fine. The compliance officer and to the companies that I have submitted s legit complaint did nothing to help the consumer.
I hope that And know I’m not the only one out there and I pray and hope that something can get done to this pharmacist and temp pharmacist along with cvs.
Thanks for your time in reading this

Sounds more like Boot is going to be running the show and not Wags in the US?
CL is community leader. Their job is to go out in the community and promote Walgreens. Right now they represent one store but I guess that is about to change.
More likely the consequences of a bloated corporation that is nearly at the breaking point.
What is the “CL” mentioned in their messages?
I’ve now found that “being uncomfortable” has many times been substituted with,(as when I inquire, )- Is this legal? I question. The retort is: “Either a shrug, nod, or “I don’t know”. That is more specifically, not putting ones assets out there to be eviscerated or dismembered. Playing with fire may get one burned, but lighten up!
Go to the article – it is obvious they are trying to do away with as many pharmacist as possible and still keep the prescription dispensing increasing. The sad thing is with the chains controlling the boards this is going to be easy for them to accomplish! It is truly becoming a “sad” day for the pharmacy profession!
