Three employees (two pharmacists and a technician) have died this way in recent months. This is beyond tragic.

I’m just dying to hear what kind of BS, save face statements come of this from CVS PR…reminiscent of a Sean Spicer press conference attempting to defend the un-defendable in front of a crowd with an agenda for undermining

Wasn't CVS the company where an overnighter, who was barely into her 40s, succumbed to a heart attack rather than close the store and go to the hospital?

Yes. I don’t know that it was an overnighter tho

I work hospital but a pharmacist that I currently work with was robbed (pregnant) while she was working at walgreens. She said the district manager was really only concerned with how soon they could reopen. Retail sounds like a nightmare.

Absolutely tragic
Nothing will change though

Until you kill enough rich people. That's how DC's Board of Pharmacy got reformed.

Here's a commentary from a retired professor, regarding these suicides. It's lengthy but worth a read.

Update: My local dead-tree newspaper, to which I still subscribe, had a large classified ad from CVS, for "PHARMACISTS WANTED." Gosh, how desperate must they be getting if they're advertising that way?

Even if it is not CVS related, retail pharmacy is a depressing job. There is no pride in the work. It will get you sooner or later.
