I was scheduled to work until 3 today, so I did. Before I left, I waved goodbye to everyone so they knew I was leaving and my station needed to be covered and I left. I was at my in-laws when I got a phone call from my pharmacist. he chewed me up and spit me out earlier this week because I shut my phone off and didn't respond to texts asking me to come in on my day off, so I had to answer it. He used that angry tone, anyone who has worked at cvs knows this tone, and told me point blank that everytime I go home, I need to walk over to the pharmacist and discuss whether I can leave or not and that the next shift he's working he's pulling me into the office with the store manager. I was in shock, as he hung up on me. Really. I have to ask to leave at my scheduled time, even though he had plenty of staff on to get the job done, and never once even hinted to me that he wanted me to stay later, which he really cannot force me to do. I drove home immediately just, in tears from frustration. I didn't go to college because I didn't want one of those jobs that could call me at all hours of the day and night. I work retail, so i'm scheduled to work certain hours and leave at a certain time, so I can have, uh, a life? maybe?
I decided to cover all my bases, first with one of the managers up front so she could call the front store manager. Then my lead tech. Next a close co-worker to vouch for me. Then, I did the most drastic thing I could think of, I emailed my district manager. Something is seriously wrong in my store and has been ever since I can remember, but even people who have worked there for 12plus years say it has never been this bad. I mean really, to get to the point where I have to turn my phone off when I leave so this man can't call me and give me yet another panic attack, something is seriously wrong with that. and to yell at me because I left at my scheduled time, when earlier that day he was complaining that we were over hours, he should be thanking me for leaving on time and saving them time. the icing on the cake? I get a text later that night from another tech, bitchy blonde tech threw a FULL ON FIT in the middle of the pharmacy, pointing her finger in his face, screaming in front of the customers, throwing things around and slamming all the doors on the way out, yet does she get reprimanded for that type of behavior? in front of customers? are you kidding me?
My district manager showed little interest in my problem, blaming it on the beginning of the year insuance cards, flu and roll out of wecare but it is so much more than that, she even went to the point to ask why I didn't tell nate I was leaving. the man was on the phone, I know he clearly saw me wave to everyone and walk out the door. This is ridiculous. I will not push myself over the edge and leave it so I can't have a life for this shit hole...
...I was so desperate the other day I put in an application to walgreens...that's how bad this is...

He's such an idiot. And Addie (is it still addie?) is totally on his side about EVERYTHING.
When I left, I emailed her too, to tell her what nate was doing (the whole not-scheduling-me-so-i'd-fall-out-of-the-system thing) and she responded with, "Nate told me you gave your two weeks." Flat out, bold-faced lie.
I fucking hate them all, still, to this day. They're like one big human centipede except instead of shitting in everyone's mouths they're just blowing everyone in the big chain of command. It's sickening. I cannot believe the abuse they unapologetically put us all through
And trust me, you will feel so much better about yourself and your life once you get the hell out of there and find a job that actually appreciates you. It's a huge, noticeable difference.
I just want out of there so bad!!! I've applied like every pharmacy I could think of and got like no calls back. and right now i'm considering applying to mcdonalds, the pay would b e about the same anyway...
He is an ass. Hell, if he needed people, i have been trying to get hours there for months, and they keep telling me that i never gave them availability ( left it 3 times). You could try going above Addie, though in my experience, that also doesn't work well. Maybe you could get an app or something that records your calls, so you can play them back.
I'm sorry chickie. He's a big D
