District Leader perspective here.
I agree with you and it’s frustrating at my level too. A lot of the struggle is that store level management is uncomfortable with identifying the root of the issue and disciplining. In almost every situation in my district, it takes me to intervene... — read more
I think workplace bullying is more common here than people think.
I think it has a lot to do with the intense amount of training needed to do this job and the relatively low pay for technicians. It takes years to learn it and during that process it’s easier to feel like an id--t than simply untrained. Keep going to... — read more

If you don't like CVS schedule, leave
Here’s a solution, get out of retail. It’s not a Monday-Friday 9-5 job. It’s a business that’s open 7-10, and 365 a year. You aren’t smart if you think there should be some clear cut rules about availability. Retail is one of the most remedial and... — read more
