Hi guys.

I'm a pharmacy tech who has been trying to finish a degree in data science(since covid, it's just never been the right time).

A recruiter from Medix reached out to me about this.

I want to schedule a call with her, but I don't know what to ask.

She said it's hybrid. I'd be working 5 hours away from home once a month for two days, which isn't bad.

Is this legitimate? Can any of you share your experiences?

Hi all.

I currently work at Sam's Club, I just started. While the benefits and all seem fantastic - I'm a full-time floating tech. I do not like the idea of floating to other stores(even if paid mileage) and using my entire day up for work + putting wear and tear on my older car. I also do not like retail and I only took the job because of a personal circumstance that I needed to get out of.

I may have an opportunity arise with Omnicare as a back-end tech, which is more my thing. No patient interaction and the hours and drive are predictable, but it is less pay and a few less hours. However, I know they were recently bought out by GenieRX. I don't know if people may be laid off after they're acquired or what.

What do you all think the better option/decision would be? Can anyone ELI5 the Omnicare situation to me and what may come with it?

Hi guys.

I'm having trouble deciding between choosing between offers.

Sam's Club - full-time, but only 15 hours are scheduled at the home store and I'd have to find 19 more elsewhere. I'd be doing regular retail work. The pay is more than Omnicare.

Omnicare - part-time, 30 hours total. I'd be doing IVs, EKits, making blister packs, driving to LTC locations, etc. Pay is less than Sam's Club.

I am torn. Sam's Club offers more pay - but the schedule seems sketchy. I don't know if I want to be hoe'd out to at least two other pharmacies a week and it's not promised that I will be. I also do not like retail, but the pay is higher.

Omnicare is really more my vibe - I love IVs, I loved traveling to deliver/stock machines at my old job, and the overall feel is similar to a hospital setting, no customers involved. The pay is lower and the hours are supposedly lower than Sam's (if I can find those supplemental hours at Sam's every week).

What would you guys do? I am torn between pay vs. fulfillment.

Hi guys.

I was let go from my old company. For context, there was a lot of tension brewing up for a year between a few coworkers and it led to my boss giving me a write up that wasn't properly investigated (someone threatened me with a taser - he never investigated and asked who heard her say this). So I muttered a swear word under my breath "fucking ridiculous", because he wrote that I lied to get people fired/in trouble. I got an amended write up later on(taking back the "lying to get people in trouble") after they relooked at the situation and figured out who heard the taser threat, but after that, I was let go. I know I made a mistake swearing in a closed door disciplinary meeting.

I'm really having a tough time applying to jobs. Lying is really hard. I landed a job that is 15 hours a week, but it is not enough. I only took it to place it on my resume/fill the unemployment gap.

The most recent application I came across asked "Eligible for rehire?" and I assume I am not, of course.

I don't know how to answer this stuff. This is my first time being disciplined for anything and let go from a job. How do you guys handle this stuff? What do you do or say?

I'm struggling.

My boyfriend(31M) has been at his job (it's a smaller company, one building) for 10 years, he is their senior software programmer. We've been together 13 years, for context.

I(31F) recently lost my job and may have an opportunity to work at his job as a project manager.

It's in a department he rarely talks to, unless they need higher end tech help.

This department also works remote, so he doesn't see them in office either.

We have talked about it a lot. I have a lot of anxiety about it because I have GAD and a general fear of "failure"(whether irrational or not) , but it's a great career move for me because my chosen career is at a very dead end and I still have time to change course.

He doesn't hold me to any standards or expect anything of me besides, "Don't give up on the job out of anxiety".

I tried to lay out all of the specifics as much as I could. Please let me know if there's more context I can provide!

Does anyone have any experiences with this?

Pros?

Cons?

Advice?

My fiance told me to apply to his workplace, because compared to what I do now, it holds a great opportunity as a springboard for future jobs. I have already applied. And he wants me to be honest about why I was terminated from my last position.

A coworker had been bullying me for a year. I finally shouted at her and later another coworker heard her say she had a taser.

I reported both pieces, but other coworker didn't report the taser because management told him not to.

They didn't investigate the taser part and I was written up and assumed to be a liar, "intending to get others in trouble or fired".

I got frustrated and refused to sign the write up.

Other coworker finally reported what he heard and I got a new write up, retracting the original statement and just saying I "disrupted productivity by shouting", but I was let go due to airing frustration and refusing to sign.

How do I tell the truth about this in a short fashion?

He wants me to be honest, because he doesn't want the lie to be found out and reflect on him.

I need advice. I wasn't sure how to flair the post.

Edit: I wasn't forced, so please stop with the "toxic boyfriend" comments. He suggested and I applied. That's all.

Also, it's a small company. The position is a project manager.

I thought about dulling it way down to, "I made a mistake and muttered a curse word in front of my manager."

Which was the main reason I was let go(besides refusing to sign the write up, initially).

Hi guys.
I have an interview with Sam's Club tomorrow.

It says the pay range is $20.50-$28.50. Do they pay the same $3 premium that Costco does for CPhTs?

Also, how are the interviews there? What do they ask & how are they conducted?

How is working there vs CVS, Walgreens, etc.?

Hi guys.

My former employer appealed against my approved unemployment decision at the last second. They're using Experian as their TPA.

Tomorrow is the hearing, over the phone at 930AM.

I've written a statement/testimony and sent in 12 documents.

I don't really want to speak at all besides reading my written testimony of the situation. I am incredibly nervous and scared to say something stupid, bad, or speak out of turn. I can't rebut or challenge anything..

My former employer did not send any documents to me or the office, or even an acknowledgement that they will be present.

Any advice on what to do and when to speak? Anyone know how Experian handles these?

Any advice at all?

I need all of the advice I can get. Please and thank you!

Hi guys.

I lost my job a few months ago. I was a pharmacy tech in a clinical setting.

I'm thinking I'll have to go back to retail. I love hospital settings and wouldn't want to return to retail - so I genuinely don't know how to interview for this or express interest well.

If it helps, I am trying to seek working towards re enrolling in my Masters degree program and may utilize that as, "I'd like to work somewhere where I can intellectually stimulate myself while I prepare for schooling."

I also don't know how to explain why I've been out for a few months besides the hours were not achievable any longer and I wanted to pursue preparing for schooling.

Does anyone have any tips or pointers?

Sorry if this is a dumb question. I'm totally lost, I've never been let go from a position.

Hi guys.

I lost my job in May. It was in a clinical/nuclear setting.

I was terminated due to airing my frustrations with a write-up that was not factual nor properly investigated.

A woman I had put my foot down to said she had a taser behind my back. A coworker told me. I reported it.

I was met with a write up saying I was making up stories with intent to get people fired, so I muttered "this is fucking ridiculous", refused to sign, then signed.

And got fired.

Do I disclose this in a short, to the point way, such as just "Let go due to airing my frustrations with a write-up that was not factual nor properly investigated."?

I'm finding it harder to lie about being let go the longer this gap is getting. It's been two months since I was let go. I'm a very honest person and it's difficult.

Advice?

Edit: saying laid off does not ring very true, due to the company I worked for.

Hi guys. My company filed an appeal on my unemployment at the last possible second.

The date for the phone call is Tuesday. Documents are to be sent 48 hours in advance to me and the judge - I assume this is business days. I haven't received any documents.

Has anyone dealt with Experian in this manner?

Do they show up? How do they handle this, do they have witnesses, etc?

Hi guys.

I was let go from my job at the end of May. At the end of June, I had an interview for somewhere I'd applied for before I got let go. They were under the impression I was still employed there and I was too nervous to say that I wasn't.

From what I hear from a friend, the manager and team are really interested in me and want to hire me, but haven't fully made a decision yet. The resume in the system did state I was there when I applied at the beginning of June - I didn't change it because I didn't think a week would matter in the grand scheme. I never expected the interview process to take this long. They didn't clarify that I still worked there.

I think I messed up and if they do hire me and HR finds out, I'm through.

Stupid question - that's the case, right? If they find out, I won't be hired?
