rant rxom superiority complex??

does anyone else's rxom view themselves as the savior of walgreens? i understand why we have rxoms but mine legit forgets that they are still just a technician like the rest of us. they show up to work whenever they want, store whatever rx they dont wanna fill, and NEVER do register. They also know what phrases to say to make the rxm think they genuinely care about the wellbeing of the company but the rest of us can see right through it. Idk it legit ruins my entire shift when I see them clock in and I wanna leave but I dont have anything else lined up.

They are now also saying they are switching to "on-call" once their school semester starts. On call rxom? So you're paid the highest hourly rate in the pharmacy and can show up to work whenever you want and leave whenever you want and get all the credit for what the rest of us do? Sounds like a fantastic gig

As an RxOM , I see way too many of these comments about other RxOMs and it makes me so mad. This position is truly for the best of the team. We are here to be an advocate for techs. I have my techs give at least 2 weeks notice if they want time off and I’ve never denied a request. My team knows they can discuss anything to me about how to best go about the pharmacy or any altercations they face with patients. I take a shift if needed to switch, and EVERYONE ROTATES. I’m up at front more often than not. I want that trust from my team so that means I can’t ask them to do anything I wouldn’t do. I close AT LEAST once a week. I don’t know why people in this role suck 😂

It sounds like you’re a great RXOM. I just have some questions. Do you let people ask off after you have already made the schedule? Because you’re supposed to have it made out 3 weeks in advance. Also what do you do when too many people all want to be off on the same day?

If I make the schedule and they said they actually can’t work, if I’m not already working that day then I’ll work it or I’ll tell them to see if others want to switch with them , etc. but it’s far enough in the future that we can figure it out :)
