#24278 Ok, I work in a Mail Order Pharmacy (Caremark Rx), and recently just transferred to a different department within the company. I transferred from a call center portion of it to the actual Filling pharmacy building!

So yesterday all of the sudden, ALL the supervisors in the whole building Dissapear. Everyones all WTF :headscratch: . About a half hour later the re-appear and looked a little down/gloomy, Again Everyones all WTF :headscratch: . Then the supervisors gather everyone up and bring us all to a meeting room.

(keep in mind they made EVERYONE stop what they were doing in a pharmacy that fills over 20,000 meds each day)

So we get to the meeting room and the Junior executive director for the whole company is there and tells us that they are Closing this location/pharmacy building down. He tells us we only have a job for 3-6 more months, they dont have an exact date! Im all :shock: and everyone else is all :weee: :weee: :weee:

Welp that was a shocker for all that work here. But im wasnt waiting around after that. We got to go home early with pay to "soak it all in" First thing i did was drive back to my old department Image to talk to my old supervisors and their supervisors about coming back asap! They like me so im golden! I still have a garaunteed job so no worries for me! they want us to stay till they close but this is what they'll get from me

Cliff notes:

*I work in a HUGE pharmacy!
*pharmacy shuts down for a Big meeting yesterday!
*They tell us the pharmacy is closing in 3-6 months!
*220 pharmacy techs and 100 pharmacists are losing there jobs!
*Today im telling them bye bye :bye:

#24288 I bet, between the baby and the new house that kind of news is like a kick in the balls. Good luck with the situation though, maybe things will work out better in the long run this way.

I hear you about breaking rules lol :thumb:

And even if you hated mail order but you had this job offer, you won't shut the company down or convince them to close by not working there, you might as well enjoy the money and benefits because your morals are in the right place :)
