I work in a pharmacy. We are so incredibly busy these days, especially since they approved the 2nd booster shot. Corporate has been cutting our allowable hours. If I clock out one minute too late, my manager gets an email the next day warning her about too much time. This morning, my part-time coworker got a text from HR not to come in for her regular scheduled shift. She only works 3 days a week as it is. If they don’t give hours, people quit. We’ve lost two employees already because of this nonsense.
Elderly customer complained to me today about how long the line was, and only one cash register open. I told her point-blank, call our corporate headquarters. Tell them to give us more hours. There would have been no line if my coworker had been on the register next to me. She tsked and said, it’s alllllll about the money, isn’t it! She got it. I was shocked!
