Forgive me for my ignorance but what exactly is Mr. Wentworth's incentive for leaving a comfortable retirement to try and resurrect Walgreens. If I recall, there was a mention (maybe on Reddit?) of a $12,000,000 Walgreens stock package and a couple... — read more
December layoffs rumor?
There is a rumor going around that 1k people from the support center will be let go in December. Has anyone else heard this? Is there any truth to this? I’m not sure how much more I can take :(
What’s the year mark for when you start drinking the Walgreens kool aid?
Let me know so I can get out before then. I have not been with Walgreens for very long and I’m disturbed with how many employees seem to eat up the bullsh-t the execs are saying. Do the directors, managers, and vps not want more for themselves? It’s... — read more
$25 Wags Cash Rewards?! OH BOY!
Don't spend it all in one place, everyone! ...oh, wait... They cannot be serious with this. WTF.
Almost 21,000 Store Manager Job Postings
Just did a job search for Store Manager Postings on Walgreens Site. The fact there are this many postings shows you how much trouble this company really is in now. There simply aren’t enough candidates in this company to fill these positions. They... — read more
Told You So…
For those who scoffed or even scolded me- told you minimal to nothing was going to change. They allowed TB to lead a TH, but worse- to stick around until she got all of those RSUs. And it’s only going to get worse, not better. DISGUSTING. Have some... — read more
Company Sit Out 11/28?
I'm not motivated by Tracey to show up in person at the end of the month. These people are absolutely tone deaf, and I'm not willing to allow them to feel an ounce of satisfaction or success. Their lack luster management has morale at an all time... — read more
Tracey out of touch
She has a leader come on and speak about Mr. Walgreen giving up his pay for a year…then gets defensive about her pay and her $120k stock bonus…? Disgusting.
Basically, we still know nothing
Am I wrong?
WOW what a company.....
My insurance for 2024 goes up 30%, and with a so called raise of an insult like tipping your waitress a penny, that's the final straw for me. They are the worst of the worst.
Quitting was my best decision
After a week to myself and recovering from the Stockholm syndrome that is corporate Walgreens I can only say it is fantastic to be out of this sh-t hole. Wish you all the best but honestly this company would replace you the next day if you dropped... — read more
This town hall…
Why is Tracey leading this? Halfway through this and she’s just wasting our time. Working “differently” is still doing more. “Cost-conscious culture” is a joke if executives took their own bonuses after taking away from us and firing over 260 people... — read more
I'm not sure why some of you are so worried
Getting laid off from Walgreens would be a blessing. As long as they provide severance, that is.
Silent Layoff
Anyone else find it strange that this layoff has been so secretive? This place is going downhill fast
JUST THINK................
07 USD▼ -61.44 (-74.45%) past 5 years IN FIVE YEARS this company stock has LOST 74.45% value.......I wonder what investors think having invested in this company. It's all about he money how does it survive. Yet the overpaid do nothings on top... — read more

PEOPLE don't QUIT jobs..............
They QUIT: POOR management POOR compensation POOR culture LACK of growth LACK of support If you are losing top talent, it's a sign SOMETHING needs fixing. HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLO
Update on potential layoffs?
With return to office nearing quickly and the previous rumor of layoffs to reduce staff prior-wondering if anyone has heard any more about potential changes that might be coming?
Wow amazing other companies can pay not walgreens though, what a joke
The coffee giant said "Effective January 1, eligible U.S. retail hourly partners will see an incremental pay increase come to life, with at least a 3% increase and differentiated pay for eligible tenured partners." Starbucks adds that eligible... — read more
Store Closures????
Any stores closing in Richmond Va?
How is Tracey still here but Brad Ulrich is leaving! One of the good guys
With Brad leaving, it’s official this company is the next sears. Once a strong brand but nothing now. Brad did what he could for the stores and pharmacies but was handcuffed all the way through. Tracy ruined him. Now she comes out with some new... — read more
Return To Office?
Here we are, about three weeks away from the “return to office” day, with zero communication. I for one hope this isn’t being tracked by badge, swipes or whatever because I will definitely live in my time in the office even if we are required to go... — read more
Fireside chat
Gingers reign of te---r continues as she continues to ruin Friday's for every single employee in the company. Guess she’s gotta earn her $825k salary for the month. Fireside chat was a total joke - right out of the gate asking a personal question... — read more

22/23 Bonus for Corp workers... yah or neah??
Anyone have word on the 22/23 Bonus for Corp workers... yah or neah??
Be prepared to be bent over on the new insurance changes!!
Has anyone read the pamphlet about our new insurance options for 2024??? As if this company couldn’t get any worse they are at least consistent in finding additional ways to sc--w over the employees!!! Please pay attention to the changes for your own... — read more
When will the rest of the executive losers be cleaned out?
Holly Mays, Tracey Brown, Melissa Salo, Maria Lensing etc etc. They are all horrible people to work with and the company and people who work under them deserve better. We were told by one of these leaders during a recent division meeting “if you... — read more
More layoffs inc
From a friend on marketing side there are more layoffs in nov coming. Not sure this company can afford to pay decadences at this point but people are leaving in the masses now including procurement. Fu-k this company I can’t wait for my offer on a... — read more
No wonder this company is tanking
Went to fill a script today and of course our cr-ppy insurance denies the medication. The cost to fill it was $725! This is a very standard topical. This was called into a mail order pharmacy and without using insurance it’s $65! This has happened... — read more
Message to Tim Wentworth
So, Tim after watching your video where you introduced yourself to Walgreens employees I decided to do a little research about your work experience. I am impressed by what I saw. Most people with this company would probably not guess that you... — read more

No merit raises or bonuses for banded.
HR / support office staff won't be receiving merit increases or bonuses this year. Looks like they're wanting people to leave instead of laying off / severancing people.
UPDATE PLEASE
on October 9th sickout! Anyone have info? TIA!
Is there a sickout 10/9?
And if so- why maybe only pharmacists?? They’re certainly VERY important, obviously! But would think a collective sickout from all levels would send a cohesive message, like oh-say… Why does UptownCrazyClown still have a job??????????? 🥁🥁 Same... — read more
