I've been working here at Walgreens for 4.5 years, never got a promotion so wasn't surprised that I got let go. How do I feel? I felt numb by it knowing the culture as i process the news. Layoffs have happened yearly since I joined.
Well moving on now.
Farewell
I wonder if having Walgreens on your resume is a ding against you OR a badge of courage. LOL
@g3 Digital Manager and below previous week, pharmacy IT all levels including directors, Sr Manager and architects
@OP which departments and levels got hit?
Getting laid off from Walgreens is a blessing!
All those offshore contractors are also being converted to protect them under the new Walgreens India business label. I.e they knew months ahead TCS/Tata contractors wouldn't be able to be brought over onshore anymore for those same roles.
Tough break to get laid off but things will only get better from here. Soon, Walgreens will be just a bad memory. Under Sycamore, It's only going to get worse for those that stay. Best of luck.
@ac thanks I was at the product/engineering department.
Run away, Walgreens severance is really bad. Not 2 weeks per year. If you expect to wait and get a package forget it. There is no reason to work for walgreens anymore. it will not even try to take care of you. So if you like to get beaten up yelled micromanaged stay with Walgreens otherwise just run. Not surprising not a lot of indians of the laid off in IT. Abhi Dhar is known for neopotism and favoritsm towards indians.
Got laid off on February even though I am not working it was the best thing that happened to me. Walgreens is a toxic mess. All the best and God bless you
Wishing you the best. What department? From what I’ve heard from others, grass is always greener even if it doesn’t seem like it now. God bless and good luck.
