San Diego - CVS $50/hr No Negotiations

[rickyroxy]

One of my senior most tech retired last month. She was making $23. Although she had been with company for more than 40 years. Next senior most is making $20.

Just interviewed a tech that demanded $23/hr since that's how much she's getting paid at the hospital. Interestingly, the hospital she works at is laying off people... lol. If you're paying techs $23/hr, you're just not managing the pharmacy right lol.

That's not unheard of. If they are good and make IVs then it's worth it.

 

[BelowTheMean]

$50/hr is pretty high. I'm looking to hire another supervising pharmacist with starting pay of $30/hr depending on the outcome of the November board meeting that might get me unlimited tech ratio. I had a few ppl balk at the dollar figure but there was no shortage of applicants whatsoever. I can see $20-30/hr being the standard by the end of the decade maybe.

better to be a nurse at that point.

better to be a nurse at that point.

Better to be anything else at that point.

Not sure why anyone would want to live in the Soviet state of California. The nice weather doesn't make up for it.

FYI, this is what I've been hearing from new grads nationwide, industry wide. So don't confuse corporate greed with the California government. Both cut from the same cloth.. there to pay you less & bonus the higher ups more and tax you more & tax them less

 

[ValeRx]

Hey, what about LA where the mayor tweets for people to shut everything off at 3pm?? What a joke. Go California!

 

[Sine Cura]

Just ruminating about the possibility of techs being replaced by $30/hr pharmacists in chain retail

The main problem here is 9 out of 10 pharmacists can't even run the in window without major handholding and 9 out of 10 techs don't have the attention to detail or give-a-**** necessary to minimize problems and maintain regulatory compliance, to speak nothing of diversion

E.g., ordering IR levetiracetam instead of ER levetiracetam or figuring out what to do if something is OOS (uh call the pt? Find the product somewhere else?)

The solution is to scrap the whole "grad intern" thing and require PGY-1 community residency for retail... even if there are only a couple hundred of these residencies retail is growing at a -50% rate so it's not like there's going be a need for more pharmacists than just the residency-trained ones...

Didn't someone here say Wags is keeping their new grads as grad interns until a pharmacist position opens up, even after they're licensed? Like for 6 months+.

 

[deleted562805]

Don't they call it Man Diego cause there's way more dudes there? Yes the women are hot but what are your chances of getting with them? I met a male nurse who made $75/hr after overtime back in 2007. He said the female nurses didn't give him the time of day cause doctors made way more than him.

You can just drive down to Tijuana Mexico then to meet some women

Correct. They are staying as grad interns even though they are license. In my market, they are staying grad interns until all of the laid off pharmacists get a call back for open positions.

If the laid off pharmacists get a call back for open positions then when will the grad interns get their opportunity for a "promotion" to a real job?

 

[projektreverb]

Let’s say you had 10 laid off pharmacists and 10 grad interns. Only 15 open positions are available at the moment. They are calling back the 10 laid off pharmacists in order of seniority to offer them a position. If all 10 accept, they then go down the grad intern list to offer them the remaining position.

A grad intern can bypass this by accepting an RXM position.

Caveat is I’m in a union area. Guess we’re I’m at LOL

I live in California and love it. I dont get this whole anti california non sense. I've lived in 5 other states and the cost of living is not that much more. So much to do around here, the social scene is great, women are beautiful, and the restaurant scene is amazing. What freedom do you get in a ****hole like Mississippi or alabama that you dont get here. If anything some laws ie marijuana are alot more lax here.

Of course, If you look at things from a macro level this whole country is controlled by corporate socialism. Corporations have way too much control over our government and need to be broken up and regulated ASAP.

Lol, Calling out Alabama and Mississippi as though third world states. At least in Alabama, the right to bear arms is not infringed. Plus, the cost of living is way better compared to Cali. And there are urban areas of Alabama like Birmingham. Plus, there are no ridiculous California fines like $350 for sitting with your legs spread out on a bus or passing SB145 which minimizes sentences for pedophiles. Also, banning the Oreo.

Well, no civilian guns should be banned including assault rifles. There are assault riffles developed for civilian use. I would say any military style weapons could be banned. Assault riffles are much more effective for self defense and are better for beginners compared to hand guns.

Plus, if you look at the states where there are strict gun controls, there is more crime. Democrats are obsessed with gun control, but don’t want to fix mental health rehab in this country. Most crazy people like in Aurora co, Sandyhook, and Stonemandouglas shootings and now former cops targeting innocent Ahmad Aubrey do not represent the average law abiding citizen who owns guns and uses the guns for self defense.

Crotch spreading should be a $750 fine, lol.

And only dumba$$ townies who can’t read say that about SB145, rofl.

no one cares in other states about crotch spreading in other states, but California makes a big deal out of it.It is extremely to carnal to care about those things.

The law is slowly normalizing pedophilia in California. Also it is not a coincidence that the Netflix show Cuties is produced in California and that show is promoting Pedophilia, the same month as this bill was passed.

Third point, pedophilia is very prominent in Hollywood casting couch circles. Even actor Corey Feindman said pedophilia is rampant in Hollywood.

I never understood guns. What kind of situation and how often does a person need an assault rifle to defend themselves? No one in my family or extended family has ever owned a gun before nor have we felt the need to.

It's all the situations you CAN'T think of that you would need a gun to defend yourself. I personally own firearms. It's great that we still currently (not in California) have the freedom guaranteed by the Second Amendment to own pretty much whatever type of gun we see fit to defend ourselves. You know, so some old bureaucrat (who is guarded by men with submachine guns), doesn't get to tell me what I can or cannot defend myself with. Also, the 2A was not written for hunting or self defense from criminals, it was intended for an armed populace to defend itself against a tyrannical government.

Are we still in the pharmacy forum?

Uh, can you give an example? So how many times have you taken your rifle put of the closet to defend yourself in your home?

 

[OIN23]

It acts as a deterrent.

In other countries, if the cops can’t or unwilling to protect you then you are at the mercy of the mob. U.S is one of the few countries that has a back stop mechanism that allows you and your neighbors to defend your neighborhood against the mob.

 

[Sine Cura]

Cops do not protect people in the U.S. either FWIW

 

[ValeRx]

Uh, can you give an example? So how many times have you taken your rifle put of the closet to defend yourself in your home?

Actually I cleared my home twice with a rifle. After that I determined that a 12 gauge 00 buck would be a better choice so as not to get too much penetration through the walls and into my neighbors home.

 

[ValeRx]

Correct. I believe it was ruled that police are not legally bound or required to defend someone.

 

[owlegrad]

I love the tyrannical government argument. So yeah, go start the next civil war with all your guns. I guess that will mean shooting cops and soldiers. Does that sound reasonable to you? Gun holders are the patriotic types, right?

Your vote does more than your gun ever will to shape politics.

What is the level of tyranny required to get gun holders to act anyway? I see plenty of injustice in the world now, why not rise up and liberate ourselves?

Not sure why you "love the tyrannical government argument." The Second Amendment clearly states "being necessary to the security of a free state." It's not an argument for gun ownership, it's the fact. It's black and white. Also note: it doesn't say "being necessary to fend off intruders" or "being necessary to hunt wild game." While ancillary benefits to gun ownership, that is not why it was written. Also bear in mind, the colonies had just defeated a tyrannical government whom, *gasp* attempted to disarm the populace so as to force their obedience. Of course they would write in a specific amendment to ensure the federal government did not have the power to disarm them.

They also used the term "arms" as a generic term. They didn't write, "the right of the people to keep and bear flintlock pistols."

Why would anyone make an argument against the right to bear arms after witnessing the constant riot for the last few months? I am talking about a group of random people here. Imagine what an organized group can do if you can’t bear arms.

 

[owlegrad]

Not sure why you "love the tyrannical government argument."e the power to disarm them.

Sorry, I thought I made that clear. It’s because it is so hypocritical. Would you REALLY shot a police officer or a soldier? Because that is what you would have to do to protect yourself from a tyrannical government. I notice you didn’t address that though, which I more or less expected.

The people rioting also have the right to bare arms. Imagine if they were exercising that right and were actually protecting themselves from the tyrannical government.

 

[confettiflyer]

The constitution has fcked things up before, and it’s our obligation to correct it — slavery, inequality (treating Black people as subhuman), women’s right to vote, etc...

Australia has common sense gun restrictions and we’re looking like a backwards third world country every day.
