I have over 25 years as a pharmacists, I’ve spent last four with Walmart here in Illinois.
Yesterday, I was told there is a mandatory meeting that I had to attend. During the meeting I was told that a computer system (????) selected my name for a layoff, that my position is being eliminated. I was reassured that my performance had nothing to do with it and that this was based on computer calculations.
Needless to say, I as in utter shock. I am the only one providing for a family of six and you can imagine what kind of impact this will have on us as a family.
They also told me that I will have two months to find an equivalent position and apply – maybe I’ll get accepted. If that does not pan out – I am out… Severance will be provided, but with pharmacists jobs disappearing quickly, finding a new good paying job will be very hard.
