Recently an RxS visited a pharmacist in an "at risk position" and assured that person that they would not be let go without notice and would have an opportunity in other company pursuits. The 900 open company positions would not be in the Tampa market but most likely be in the Orlando Market and in other states. This same pharmacist after assuring the manager that they were not looking for alternate employment was terminated 3 business days later by LP officer for district 132. Despite the employees genuine lack of knowledge of the incident in question. Was terminated 2 1/2 weeks before their anniversary date avoiding vacation payout, denied Cobra and unemployment. A single parent with 2 children and unable to secure work since discharge. Is this the CEO's plan to save Walgreen's 80,000 per discharge? How much will these managers get on their bonus for following unjust termination practices to save cash on the front end in this company's metamorphosis from a drug store to a health care company?Pac Man Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02764438446353793495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651010135173678358.post-68021698297944391322009-01-30T16:58:00.000-06:002009-01-30T16:58:00.000-06:00John,FYI, I linked to your earlier post on my Drug...John,<BR/><BR/>FYI, I linked to your earlier post on my Drug Channels blog, which has very high traffic.
