My insurance for 2024 goes up 30%, and with a so called raise of an insult like tipping your waitress a penny, that's the final straw for me. They are the worst of the worst.
Quitting was my best decision
After a week to myself and recovering from the Stockholm syndrome that is corporate Walgreens I can only say it is fantastic to be out of this sh-t hole. Wish you all the best but honestly this company would replace you the next day if you dropped... — read more
This town hall…
Why is Tracey leading this? Halfway through this and she’s just wasting our time. Working “differently” is still doing more. “Cost-conscious culture” is a joke if executives took their own bonuses after taking away from us and firing over 260 people... — read more
I'm not sure why some of you are so worried
Getting laid off from Walgreens would be a blessing. As long as they provide severance, that is.
Silent Layoff
Anyone else find it strange that this layoff has been so secretive? This place is going downhill fast

Update on potential layoffs?
With return to office nearing quickly and the previous rumor of layoffs to reduce staff prior-wondering if anyone has heard any more about potential changes that might be coming?

How is Tracey still here but Brad Ulrich is leaving! One of the good guys
With Brad leaving, it’s official this company is the next sears. Once a strong brand but nothing now. Brad did what he could for the stores and pharmacies but was handcuffed all the way through. Tracy ruined him. Now she comes out with some new... — read more
Return To Office?
Here we are, about three weeks away from the “return to office” day, with zero communication. I for one hope this isn’t being tracked by badge, swipes or whatever because I will definitely live in my time in the office even if we are required to go... — read more
Fireside chat

When will the rest of the executive losers be cleaned out?
Holly Mays, Tracey Brown, Melissa Salo, Maria Lensing etc etc. They are all horrible people to work with and the company and people who work under them deserve better. We were told by one of these leaders during a recent division meeting “if you... — read more

No wonder this company is tanking
Went to fill a script today and of course our cr-ppy insurance denies the medication. The cost to fill it was $725! This is a very standard topical. This was called into a mail order pharmacy and without using insurance it’s $65! This has happened... — read more

No merit raises or bonuses for banded.
HR / support office staff won't be receiving merit increases or bonuses this year. Looks like they're wanting people to leave instead of laying off / severancing people.
UPDATE PLEASE
on October 9th sickout! Anyone have info? TIA!
Is there a sickout 10/9?
And if so- why maybe only pharmacists?? They’re certainly VERY important, obviously! But would think a collective sickout from all levels would send a cohesive message, like oh-say… Why does UptownCrazyClown still have a job??????????? 🥁🥁 Same... — read more

What a business concept wouldn't you honestly think.
Let’s focus on giving loyal employees bonuses for staying rather than ridiculous bonuses for new hires for joining.
SURE have plenty of money for this though don't they( and also paying the last so called CEO $375,000 a month and for what)
