When the one with the mask is killed, the one following will put the mask on and...immunize!
PIC#1 : I carried out my orders. I sent in all of my boys. But COVID engulfed us [and took most of my staff out of commission]. It can spread through aerosol, human contact, and live on surfaces. And we, what did I have [since you didn't give me masks, barriers or hazard pay/time off]?
DM: You [pharmacists] have the sacred duty to make money for the company [at all costs]!
I have to report to The Boss that we didn't make our metrics. Perhaps you'd prefer to avoid the red tape and resign now [to let a desperate new grad who WILL work harder to meet the metrics take your place]?
*hands gun to PIC #1*
*PIC #1 kills himself*
*DM calls staff meeting with the rest of the PICs*
DM: My name is Nikita Khrushchev. I'm the new DM and am taking charge of things here. This company is not Walgreens, it is not Walmart, it is not Kroger. This company is CVS.
CVS. It bears the name of the company that more than 50% of pharmacists work for. It is not just a company but a symbol for all things pharmacy. If COVID takes out our company, the entire country will collapse.
Now, I want our boys to raise up their heads. I want them to act like they have BALLS! I WANT THEM TO STOP ****TING THEIR PANTS [and complaining about PPE, lack of hazard pay/PTO, that they're not considered healthcare workers]. That's your job. As PICs, I'm counting on you [to get your floaters and staff in rank and order]. You, what's your suggestion?
PIC#2: Fire all the other PICs who didn't make their metrics. And their full time staff pharmacists too.
PIC#3: Make some examples of them. Blacklist the PICs and their families and make them ineligible for hire or rehire.
*DM is about to get fed up*
PIC#4: Give them hope!
*DM walks over*
PIC#4: Here our pharmacists' only choice is between our bullets and COVID's. But there's another way. The way of courage. The way of the love of the Motherland. We must give incentives. We must publish some PR articles again. We must tell magnificent stories of pharmacist heroes working in the front lines. Stories that exalt bravery and sacrifice. We must give them hope and the belief in a victory.
Yes, we must give our pharmacists $150 bonuses.
