Hi all!
I’m gathering information about retail pharmacy companies across Canada and what kind of support they offer for International Pharmacy Grads and Canadian Pharmacy Grads upon licensing. Would love to chat with anyone and everyone willing who is currently working as a Retail Pharmacy Graduate.

Did your company assist you with getting a work permit or LMIA?
Did they offer coaching for exams?
Did they reimburse you for tuition, licensing costs or relocation costs?

Thanks!

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.

Hi there, Any idea how long NielsenIQ takes to release offer letter?

A company offered a role, but then went back to the legal team to see if they can do H1 transfer. The job is not aligned with my degree but my past 9 years of work ex has been. How do I try to convince them?

I am scheduled to fly from NYC to Mumbai via Paris next Wednesday (Jan 5) for a ~10 day trip. Have any of you, your family, friends, etc. flown a similar route (I.e. from US to India via Europe) in the past week? If so, what is the arrival process (Covid test, quarantine requirements, etc.)? I’ve had all recommended vaccine shots and I’m only in Paris for a 2 hour layover (not leaving the airport). Any information on this would be greatly appreciated!

Hi guys, one of my friends bought a house recently in NY and I am looking to send him a gift for his new home. What could be some of the gift options? Can anyone share some ideas?

Does anyone have NY legal aid criminal.defense training materials??

Have an opportunity to finally get out of insurance defense. But not really sold on the firm. Could finally get out of ID, but then could also end up at another place I really don't like. Def want my next firm to be long term as I've jumped around.

SO and I got in to a disagreement on the background of Indian tech CEOs. It appears that they are all from 1 or 2 major communities in India.

While he thinks that its genetics/being naturally gifted that got them to where they are I believe it's the environment & discipline that made them successful. We are not from said communities but curious to hear your thoughts on who is more accurate.

I’m starting in audit accounting in Charlotte, NC as an associate. What’s the best way to find out how much I should be looking for when it comes to salary?

I received a TS/SCI job offer upon which I turned down for personal reasons. However, I'd completed a full-scope polygraph in the process and was wondering if I'm eligible for federal contracting roles. Does anybody know how I can determine my clearance status?

Most woman with excellent WOE don’t negotiate their pay.. I’m a woman working in Tech and this is so sad to know..

Hi there! Newbie here. Single woman, 45 in Chicago. What is everyone doing to keep socially active? Anybody actually dating?

What is caregiver leave in bny ? How to opt for caregiver leave? Any medical proof required for the same?

Anyone care to share personal experience with the hiring process for Kaiser Permanente? Applied early October, completed Career Snapshot, and status has read “Talent Acquisition review in progress” for a couple weeks now. From their webpage, it sounds like the talent review is a lengthy process.
I’m curious to read how fellow pharmacist candidates herded through the process and the wait times between steps 👀

Those of you that have left retail, what would it take for you to go back? I’m hearing about 50k sign on bonuses at the corner locally (up from 20/25k in February). I’ve been unemployed/underemployed for over a year and am still holding out for anything else.

any suggestions for a clinical specialist of 7 years of exp in acute care to increase salary? or How should one have this discussion with ones director?

Is it worth it to exit for pharma sales? I know some people have made the switch. The money is tempting but I can't help wondering if it's just a "grass is greener" situation

What do you wish you knew before becoming a Pharmacist/Starting Pharmacy school? A new tech asked me this after I agreed to mentor her.

I’m a pharmacist thinking to transition to the inpatient setting after being in the outpatient setting. Just wondering if the grass is really greener on the other side. I read on Reddit that a lot of hospital pharmacists are getting burnt out and that many hospitals also have a high turn over rate

I've seen a couple posts about unionizing, anyone know anything about the potential Kaiser strike in early October? Saw online that they're already hiring for scabs, $3400-$5950 + housing, travel transportation, and per diem. And this is for techs!!!

Am I the only one that feels like we should have our student loans forgiven? (And I used to be adamantly opposed to ANY student loan forgiveness)
Our salaries continue to DECREASE as cost of living increases (not just “no raises”…decrease!…I realize I’m preaching to the choir haha). I can barely (and by “barely” I mean “can’t” TBH) make bills, pay for kids activities, etc (also a single mom of 3, for more context) LET ALONE pay my loans…
How do we start that movement?…
Who’s with me?! 🤷🏻‍♀️😜

I am leaving retail pharmacy after 15 years. I am opening a 403b pharmacy for a FQHC. I don't believe that retail pharmacy will be able to sustain itself with patient costs skyrocketing. I think people will become enraged or indifferent enough to allow the federal government to take over healthcare. How many times do we see people getting free prescriptions via government coverage that drive better cars than we do?

I work in a state where abortion was previously banned and is now still pretty heavily restricted. Lately I've heard a lot of really negative and hurtful comments about patients who are picking up contraceptives, and about people who are pro-choice. I don't usually bring my political views to work, and now I feel like I honestly can't say anything without making work really uncomfortable for myself (I'm pro-choice). What should I do?

Anyone know the hiring process at children's health and what questions to get prepared for?

Hi! I have been telepharmacist for over 10 years and trying to gather more information on what is the current pay range for this position. I want to get a sense if I am underpaid. Unfortunately, not many of my colleagues are willing to share their pay. If anybody here can give some information it will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Those of you that love your job, where do you work? I’ll start - I have a part time job at a medical cannabis dispensary and love it - I finally feel like I’m really helping people.

Have you tried encouraging cards highlighting their strengths? When’s the last time you said “Thank you” out loud to everyone in front of everyone? Bought lunch? Participated in a team building event? Encourage a team atmosphere and keep the lines of communication open. Just my thoughts

I have worked in four different types of pharmacy and I don’t really like anything so far. I don’t know what to do anymore. Right now I don’t feel like I can do any of these jobs forever. The types I have worked in are:hospital (pediatrics ), retail, specialty and a call center.
