Not in my area - SF Bay Area - but I have a friend in the Austin area and they are having trouble finding people for many roles.

Yep! I work at two different hospitals and they are both having trouble keeping technicians

Yes, VA New York

I have noticed a lot of hospitals are hiring techs, at least where I am. The little local pharmacy is fine though as far as I know. I wonder why hospitals are having so much extra trouble with turn over right now.

Yep, we have been super understaffed for almost 2 years now. I work in Delaware in a hospital, and it has been nearly impossible keeping people. It seems like COVID was the start of it & it's been a struggle ever since!! I've been here awhile so I'm not going anywhere, but I've had to work a lot of overtime lately because of the shortage.

We were actually very adequately staffed for 3 years and we have a supervisor that is firing people left and right for no good reason. too bad we didn’t know about the shortage before we started treating the staff like crap!

Really? Or maybe not from where I live. We have so many tech applicants here but only few get admitted.

Yep, it's becoming an issue across many states

Not in Georgia that I know of but I have heard that we are experiencing a shortage other plaves.

Yes there is a shortage

During COVID surges my itsy bitsy little 26 bed hospital was paying pharmacy technicians base pay plus $100 an hour. We didn’t have enough staffing with our 4 full time technicians. We were able to staff out of our other campuses and although during that time, all my techs made more money than me… I was happy to have them and welcomed them. They are much better and more efficient at making IVs than me.

not in retail!!! nyc independent pharmacies don’t require certified techs!!! you get what you pay for!!
salary is very low .. minimum wage or a dollar or two above

I've just recently been hired as an assistant manager at a Canadian outlet store. It's a small company in comparison to others, but there are over 10 locations spanning western Canada and NW united states. I'm curious as to what others in a similar position are getting as salary. I was offered $42k plus bonuses at the interview, but when called back I was offered $44.5k plus bonuses. I already accepted. Did I leave money on the table here?

Would you lateral from B4 into McKinsey as EM or take an industry offer that is $50k more in TC (thank MCK offer) and better wlb?

I am thinking I would be able to get similar exit opps assuming I do not make it to AP. What would you do if you were in my situation? It’s a good place to be, but I am losing sleep over this. TIA

I feel like a lot of the discourse about pharmacists lately ignores that we are often just as informed or even more informed about the drugs physicians are handing out than they are.
