Anything at all being heard about the fate of Omnicare?

That is all. Stores need to be staffed properly because two people is not a crew. And if you’re going to continue this route of hours cuts and no staff, then at least PLEASE have mirror hours with the RX. Give the front store a break would you. — read more

I am a Director and I was advised today my 2 Direct Reports I will be laying off Monday morning. I had zero say on who would be laid off or not.
