I Guess It's Official...

Well, I do believe it's official now...I am no longer desired to return to PG Drug. This is evident based on the fact that when I went in this evening to pick up g-dad's medications...I was handed my national certification. Well, they just don't know what they are going to miss. It seems to me, that they are "weeding" out employees that were there prior to the buy-out by Midelu, Inc. So, I wonder who's next? And if that isn't the case, then are they weeding out the undesirables..ie the ones that aren't skinny, pretty or such? Regardless of their work ethic? Whatever it is, that's what it feels like to me. And those that are still there, that were there before the buy-out...should beware...it could happen to you also! I have refrained from being negative about what's happened to me. And I will still do so...however unfair I feel that it was in the way that I was "let go". Yeah, I feel like crying, screaming at the top of my lungs. It's not fair, to me nor anyone else that this will happen to. In as such, I will probably move my scrips, as well as g'dad's from there. As much as I love this community and my customers as well as supporting the local small businesses, I will not patronize a store in which I was a HUGE part of, that now has treated me so unfair. Makes one wonder just how much more unfairness will happen? Right now, there are 4 employees left that were there before the buy-out...and I wish them the best of luck and hopes that it doesn't happen to them. I feel cheated by the way that I was "pushed" out. And that's exactly what happened...my hours were cut back (with no input from myself, mind you) and I was basically "forced" into taking the medical leave (as well as told that if anyone asked me, it was MY decision to take the leave). Also, I was told that while I was out...noone would be hired on a full time basis. Let's see...at least 2 new people were hired that I'm aware of. Not sure if they are full time or not, but in any event, in that same breath, I was told that I could come back in January on a part time basis...and NOT guaranteed my full time position. According to a few people that I have talked to regarding short term medical leave...I AM guaranteed a position equal to or better than the position I had when I went out. Within a 90 day period. Well, I had every intention of returning to PG the first week in January, well before the 90 days would be up. There went that intention right out the window. I'm sure I will be missed...yeah right! Anyway, just had to get that off my chest. I feel better now! I think!
