Low Point: Being told to stress how amazing Walgreens Cash is and to turn ourselves into a marketing mouthpiece if/when asked by family&friends how the latest shift in Walgreens is panning out for us all. Ew. Concept of an executive chairman also... — read more 

Not just a new CEO, but Sycamore also named a new EXECUTIVE chairman John L. For those unaware an executive chairman has more power and authority than a regular chairman of the board. Executive chairman has a lot more say over day to day operations... — read more 

Can’t say I’m sad to see some of the leadership finally gone. They steered Walgreens into the ground. But with the shift to private ownership, I’m more worried than relieved. Private equity doesn’t usually mean stability, and I can’t shake the... — read more

Tracey Brown has been let go. The Sycamore chainsaw begins.

GOOD...you made a ton of money for what you did being a puppet, and some for a lot of years. What value at all do you or did you bring. Just helped a pretty darn good company at one time go to vultures that in no time will totally destroy it. ... — read more

Must be nice to have that kind of fun money. Must be a proud team for what they have done to Walgreen's...........what a disgrace.

This apparently needs to be said. The leadership wants you to quit. Their goal is to get as many people as they can to walk on their own to save on severance. If you quit, you're literally doing them a favor. Stay and work. Quiet quit. But make them... — read more

You heard it here first. FOUR days in office starting September. I’d be nervous if I were you remote workers.

It’s not like any of us have a real shot at a future here once the deal goes through.

The update from Tim was sometime in the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2025. July, August, September October, November, December When do you think the deal will be done?

Neil - you have no practical IT experience. It's all Theretical and not reasonable. Your staff that you brought in - not reasonable and... You missed the great opportunity. Prior to you: 7 years at Walgreens and 5 CIO's. You made it a point to say... — read more

Just today Walgreens is doing another massive layoff. What a joke of a company it has become.

And some still think there is a recovery.. Look what this and the other previous CEO's have done along with this inept board. Who would even listen let alone care what this CEO says anymore. Yet some do. What a disgrace he is.

So the ones that have the stock, even after losing 80% or more, waiting and saying oh I will be getting a premium in the sale...the kool aid drinkers......keep the stock. There are so many places to make money. Yet you keep the walgreens stock. ... — read more

Is there a drop dead date for either the deal going forward with Sycamore, or WBA remains public?

How can this company recruit in good faith, knowing it's a sinking ship. No one should be considering working here, and any one staying other than long term employee who are close to retirement is a FOOL.
