Gotta love the consistent communication. I've heard more factual information here than from our HCBP. I have a feeling it's only going to get more frustrating as we start to transition. Thanks for the info!

What were you all told regarding vacation hours rolling over/not rolling over at the beginning of this? We were told soon after the announcment that they would definitely be rolling over (I used mine because I didn't trust that), but THIS MORNING all of the pharmacists in my area were told on a...

I am remaining hopeful that this will be a complete shitshow. Where did you hear that? Did I miss that in Tuesday's communication? I think we're slow enough that our pharmacist can hide/eat for at least 15 minutes at a time...at least I hope we are for her sanity.

I was under the impression that it would happen on the night of close, but we were told we're only doing a controlled inventory. I'd rather just get it all over with now than have to do it when I'm even more stressed and disgruntled. We're pissed about the break room situation. We *think* most...

The only thing I know is that our official last day is the 15th, and conference calls are happening the few days after that. Makes sense if the deal is closing the 11th.

Soooo....was my district the only one that got the email? 10 more days, y'all. The end is near. As a side note, we were told that no stores would close until a year passes, and only if they fail to raise script count (/possibly profits?) by a certain percentage. We heard 12%.

That is exactly what I wanted to hear! We are pretty sure they're taking our hours. :( Oh well, we've just been adjusting back to our initial quoted number of hours, so they can take them all they want!

Oh, I should have clarified that this happens without any adjustments by my ETL RX. Our district has been no help, seems like everyone is clueless about how it all works. So our STL could cut our quoted amount of hours, too? My etl said our "allotted hours" go down in that time period as well.

Woo! Scrubs! Our district has been slow with the news, too. Incredibly frustrating too, knowing we're so close. Rewards are ending, we're shipping off our records, you've come to measure the space, but we're still going over powerpoints with the faces of CVS corporate on it? Come on. Any...

Is it normal for our tech hours to decrease from the time MyTime generates the schedule to when that week comes around? When we check the initial schedule, we've got X amount of hours, but we'll check again later on and each tech shift will have decreased by at least an hour. I though the...

One thing we can't figure out is how we will handle keeping cash in the register. Will we have to deal with brinks and having our own safe? Will the gsas still stock our registers? I really think they needed some sort of general game plan to calm us down...we'be handled it pretty well at my...

I'm not sure...maybe there's fine print that will keep cvs from being able to do that, because the foot traffic is important. All I know is that cvs is huge on drive throughs, most if not all stores have one. It will keep lines at the counter from backing up, too.

Cvs does treat pharmacists like robots. 13 hour days, no official lunch period. They "suggest" that you can take a short break to step aside and eat, but when the pharmacy doesn't close down and you have timers grading your prescription-checking speed, customers asking questions, and phone calls...

I have been told that the tgt pharmacies in my area do not make a significant profit on their own, they exist solely to bring foot traffic to the stores. Apparently we lose money on most prescriptions. Regular pharmacy guests=red cards, impulse purchases while waiting, more "loyalty to the...

TTOTM: I hadn't even spoken a word to you ever, I don't even know who the hell you are, and you're going to criticize me and my work?! Twice in two days?? I have a pretty good sense of humor and I'm good at picking up sarcasm, so either you're just a grade-A asshole, or you're terrible at...
