Month: July 2023

We went into bankruptcy and everything would have been fine if the owner would have done everything he needed to do. We had the money to pay the bills but it was “perfect storm” of things he didn’t want to deal with. And when you have a hearing and tell the judge “you don’t know what you are talking about” it’s not something you actually want to keep. But don’t worry about all the thousands of workers that believed the lies that “we are doing the best we can to stay open”

I started a new job last month. Though the office buildings are only a few blocks from each other, to briefly compare: Old job * WFH 3 days, in-office 2 days * Moderate interaction with the public * Otherwise, general office work * Trusted to work independently 50% of the time but also had collaborative and team projects the other 50% * Some phone calls/emails from the public New job * In-office 5 days per week * Constant phone calls from the public * All of my calls have to be on speaker phone (“for training”), which makes it extremely difficult to hear anything or help anyone * Constant appointments and drop-ins that I do not schedule or know about but am expected to drop everything and take on immediately * There's no actual training, it's just my team members telling me what to do.

For context I’m a pharmacy tech (22F) and have been working at this pharmacy for nearly 4 years since I was 18. This happened two days ago. I saw that a doctor sent in a medication for a child that was really expensive and we didn’t have it in stock, so I called the phone number on the prescription and the mother picked up. It’s not a common medication, and the cash price for a one month supply said over $4,000, so I wanted to call to inform the family. Me: Hey I noticed your doctor sent in a prescription for your son and I just wanted to let you know it’s really expensive and we don’t have it, would you like me to call the doctor and ask for something else?
