Layoffs confirmed at the support office today, on the owned brand teams, over 10 individuals. Managers were not notified, employees got meetings on their calendars the night before. Terminated effective immediately... Any other teams affected?

We're probably okay for the moment. But the end of the year is going to be rough. Might as well start looking now.

This company should change its name now. Walgreens is gone, it was destroyed by R0z and her wrecking crew - Tracey Clown, HS1OWW who was her CIO/CCP, and several others. It's an embarrassment now, and simply needs to go away. And the Board who let it... — read more
