VT BOP threaten to REVOKE the pharmacy license of ALL 32 WALGREEN PHARMACIES IN THE STATE
It is a sad era:
I remember when I told my father who I wanted to work for! I had just started college and my pride in this company was too big for others to understand! I had never worked for them before! And yet, I could not see myself be anywhere else!
I did not pursue any other employers! I did not want to!
I wanted to be a community pharmacist at this chain! And I had made up my mind!
There was pride in the values I thought I was following ! My commitment pushed me to work harder and harder! To sacrifice more and more!
I think a lot of pharmacists, technicians and students can relate!
Fast forward now, you see answers like these to recruitment emails , flowing around social media. This is not mine by the way. I believe I have blacklisted from Walgreens and CVS Health system entirely! I am not good enough for them. Lol.
But this type of answers has been more and more common especially in the last two years! Pharmacists, Technicians and Students are completely fed up with the lies, the greed, the manipulative values, the oppressive system of those companies !
They don’t even bother to say simply “ thank you for the consideration . But I must decline”. No, they are telling exactly what needs to be told with the hope that those major chain pharmacies will heed to the comments and bring some type of changes!
And yet nothing! More lies, more greed, more bullying, more profit over care! They don’t care!
But what they have failed to realize is that the sense of pride in working for them has gone! The sense of commitment is gone! The sense of attachment is gone! While they may have money, they don’t have the care, the love, the support and definitely not the respect of our profession and the public!
Basically, we no longer care for them! Their ship can burn and it won’t matter! As a profession that deeply cares , this is a bad spot for those employers! If we stop caring, they will eventually pay a very heavy price and unfortunately our patients will!
Now we hear of pharmacies being closed for a whole week… patient care is suffering and it is NOT the Pharmacy Personnel fault.
It all lies with companies! But would they change their ways?
Probably not! And we will continue to send emails like this!

I shared this w/Steve a little while back.I live in rural wisco,our pharmacy is in a little country hospital small,,but serves 5 counties w/in 50 mile radius,.Well a couple month back,,the insurance company was screwing w/my meds,denying them for improper paper work they claimed via my doctor.I was stunned at the kindness of my pharmacist,,She called my house at least 5 times to see if i was ok.She offered to drive the meds out here,She got me enough meds to get thru the week-end until the ,”paper work,” bs was cleared up.Of course my Doctor had left for the weekend wensday,,,but their a few good ones still left,,,few and far between,and this is a small independent pharmacy,,,jmo,,maryw
