I have no doubt that this is true in many fields, however it absolutely does NOT apply to retail pharmacy. I have absolutely killed myself working who knows how many extra hours on my own time to help my store. I've done everything imaginable to make things run smoothly, make sure all the customers are happy, all the work is done... But when the latest round of budget cuts came? They cut my hours!
It made NO difference whatsoever how good or bad a pharmacist was. They simply targeted all the 24 hour stores that had middle shift pharmacists, and cut ALL of our hours regardless of everything we have done for this company. Our district supervisor puts pharmacists at 24 hour stores who he thinks are the "best", yet it didn't matter. Corporate has absolutely NO value in us. None. We are all just a number to them. We still have complete slacker pharmacists who happened to be in the right place at the right time and still get 40 hours a week, while there are others of us who have busted our butts every single day trying to help the company and prove our value... and we get our hours cut. What kind of business strategy is that? Ridiculous.
