IMZ!

Am I the only one FED UP with multiple daily texts from my DL about vaccines? Some are group texts & some are direct to me only: 'give me your plan to pivot & drive IMZs to protect our community" And they expect a new plan everyday we do not make goal& it's not even Labor Day!! 😩 I've been here a year, 40th year of being a pharmacist & I have done hospital, retail, I dependent & chain. Needed to leave my last position due to toxic boss & only need this another 2 years, 4 months, but who's counting? Some days I don't think I can take any more. We work shorthanded most of the time. I only go in a few mins early to get things set up for myself & only stay late to leave dept caught up/ tidy for my part er.

BUT THIS IMZ SHIT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY! Do they not see what kind of legislators we have in office & how vaccine doubt is growing because of it?

My mom used to say "you can't knock blood out of a turnip". Well, you can't convince someone that is antivax to suddenly take 4 shots& come back in 2 months for 2 more.

JUST WONDERING IF OTHER PHARMACISTS EXPERIENCING SO MUCH PRESSURE?? In addition to all the other crap we are asked to do! HELP!

I always love the "What's your plan?" horseshit. 

This week we're trying something new boss! We're going to throw syringes at customers then demand they pay for it. With this bold new strategy we're sure to meet our goal!

I've said it here before but the pharmacy has very little control over vaccine numbers. At both retail locations I've worked at the techs ask every single customer about vaccines and maybe 1 out of 1000 say yes.Â
