I work in the pharmacy. Our tech hours were cut from 120 to 56 . the pharmacy is open for 74 hours per week. What once took 15 minutes now is averaging 1 hour. The phones have not let up the people still come to pick up the medications. we have no lunch breaks or 15 minute breaks we are lucky to have 5 minutes to run to the rest room in a 12 hour shift . The expectation did not change. The required work did not change. I think someone said they are treating us like we do not have interaction with the customers and they are correct. The expectation is 20 scripts per hour and when do we have time for any other task to be done? That comes out to be 3 minutes per pr-scrip-ion including typing up new script, filling, ringing up customer ( with all their other items). When do the inventory tasks ( cycle counts, outdate returns , warehouse returns, outsifde vendor returns , interstore transfers, recalls from manufacturer ,checking in and putting up the weekly and daily order )get done? The Dr calls? Patient calls? Return to stock? Checking email ? and a host of other tasks.
This isn't an exaggeration, this is how shifts look like now. I’m glad that @QJBxnKN-6xzaz decided to post this.
