Mississippi Walmart Pharmacy Problems

2019-08-29T00:11:19Z

Here in central Mississippi Walmart have gone wild firing many long term Pharmacist’s with bogus reasons, most with 17 years or more experience including myself. It’s obvious they are making the cuts to increase their bottom line with no regards for the long term dedicated professional associates and there families. The sad thing is that this will happen again in 15 to 20 years. I am praying every day that Amazon and resurgent specialty mom and pop community pharmacies and Dollar General will send them the way of Fred Pharmacies. Maybe they should stop the slow hemorrhaging death like Fred’s pharmacy and shut all there pharmacies down now.

Businesses have to make a profit. The dynamic in pharmacy has changed considerably in the last 15 to 20 years. Back then, the number of open positions far exceeded the number of pharmacists available to fill them. Thus, salaries went up to attract new people to the company.
Today the opposite is true. WalMart had an opportunity to treat their longtime staff with dignity and respect and adjust the wage offered across the board to reflect the new economic reality and let everybody make their own decision regarding their future with the company. Nobody would like working for less, but it is simply supply and demand at work and they could make and own their choice at that point . But instead, the company chose to axe their senior pharmacists who had served them so well for so long. The company failed to recognize that the patrons of their pharmacies have formed a relationship with the individual pharmacists rather than the company and that many of them will leave when their pharmacist leaves.

Karma is hell.

Walmart is streamlining greed up top and stockholders are in the ”now era.” They are stripping the company from more profits and then they will either leave or retire.

I'm sorry about what happened to you. I have a number of friends who are pharmacists, some who've been experiencing similar things. I would never have believed it 20 years ago, but apparently the field is being saturated with younger, cheaper graduates.

I also believe, what with the huge spike in the pharmacuetical industry's profits over those same last 20 years, there is still a justifiable need for ALL pharmacists. The money is there. The need is there. But greed has overruled all of that.
