It's the small things that I ever ask for...
My RXM told me yesterday that she had some kind of meeting.... She proceeds to day that in the pharmacy, we need to follow such and such things from now on....
Uniform codes and it has to be blah blah blah ...
Okay I get it... Good luck to people that have colorful hoka shoes tho.... Next....
Hospital clean anywhere and everywhere blah blah blah....
We ain't a sterile pharmacy, not in the hospital, nor do we even do compounding anymore cuz they took it out ... But okay whatever.... It beats being sick if we keep up sanitation duties really which I've always try to upkeep.... Next....?
We aren't allowed to have food or snacks in the pharmacy....
Uhhh.... Okay....? Even if it's at the sink or hidden or away from the fill station?? No? Well okay that's fine.... I can just make do with th--
"Oh and no drinks..."
...... I'm sorry what?
"No drinks at all.... Only water."
Rrrrriiiiiiigggghhhhhttt....... But if I have my red b--
"They said no ...."
No..... No other drinks except water? Period?
"Yeah they said that you can take your break and drink it then and there at the break room and leave it at the break room"
.................................... WHAT THE FFFFFFF
First of all.... The rest of the staff is going to be so unhinged from now on including me
Second.... Why do they keep changing their minds about this on and off??? First it was no drinks near the blue zone..... Then it's no drinks at the green zone and blue zone.... Put it at the sink area .... No non transparent bottled drink...... Then. No non transparent bottle drink EXCEPT if you bought it at the store and you have a sticker it's okay, just put it at the sink... NOW, it's just.... Break room.
Third, do they expect us to be drinking this only at our breaks like how a 9-5 salary office workers take their 15 minute breaks like the TV show, The Office? Even then, they get to be caffeinated AT THEIR DESK. Do they expect me to walk out of the pharmacy completely to go to the break room every time I need a sip or two to keep functioning? Because that is not practical.
Fourth, how is this fair that we get shafted at the pharmacy but the front end is allowed to have their own drinks AND SNACKS, in with the cart they're working on, outside where the aisles are? Like, not to be such a vain person but, the pharmacy is what sets majority of the foot traffic... Without us in the pharmacy, people at the front end won't have much of a job or hours.
Like literally, I just ask for small things to be left alone to keep me functioning in the pharmacy.... Caffeine access is one of them. You want me to do the work of 3 people? You better let me have my red bulls at the sink. It's away from the green AND blue zone... There's cameras pointed at the area in detail so to say it's too prevent people from sneaking pills into the bottle,
/Rant over
Just needed to get that off my chest....
