Hello,
I am in need of sound advice from current retail pharmacists as I am in a unique situation.
I am a pharmacist who works in a major retail chain. I was a floater until last year, I was given a store.
A little background of the store. There is the Rx manager, Tech A, and Tech B.
Going into the position, I did not get along with Tech A. From my point of view, she was slacking and not doing her job to her potential. For example, she doesn't type, fills slowly, constantly plays on her phone, leaves for breaks unannounced, and does not put orders away. She often calls out or shows up late for work too.
Tech B does all the work and I feel bad for him but he blamed both I and tech A because he can only judge by the mess he walks into.
On multiple occasion, I have brought the issue to the Rx manager. However, she sides completely with tech A and believes her.
When I brought it to the DM, nothing came of it. Furthermore, the store manager seems to be friendly with this tech too.
Rx manager is picky with me. She constantly leaves me notes to do ABC about little things.
For example, forgetting to bill PAAD, Ordering not enough meds etc.
I would like to think I was not lazy. I do outdates, inventory etc...
And no, I am NOT the old school pharmacist who never fill and only checks med.
I actually help her pull baskets, so she can count.
I and tech B always finish the mess and finish on time.
To be continued....
