Hsiao next…

Hsiao W next to go word is. Wish they’d make him do a Walk of Shame out the front door in his belt and teeny tiny matching shoes. I’d pay big to see that! Tix would of course be sold on (wait for it) Stub Hub.

Walgreens lay-off Thursday august 24th

Walgreens laid off thousands last Thursday in the field. Directors, district managers,beauty managers in every state. Everyone but the the CEO who is responsible for the mess they are in. Good people who were with the company their entire lives.

Getting laid off was a blessing

Except for the general anxiety of finding a new job, getting laid off from this company was the best thing ever. Upper management is incredibly disorganized, out of touch with staff, and ridiculous with demands. Can’t tell you how many... — read more 

A pharmacists worse nightmare!!

Too high expectations from employees

I'm exhausted. The fact alone that I'm still here makes me feel drained and miserable. Does it shock you when, in addition to everything you already do, they try to add even more to your plate? They just don't know when enough is enough.
