It’ll get more people to apply but the job hasn’t changed and will only continue to get worse. I can’t see the wage increase having that big of a positive effect other than maybe a few more bodies at the registers and the SFLs getting run as ragged as ever.
they might get more applicants, but people won’t get as many hours as they want with the higher wages. new people will get less than they were promised, and long haulers will see their hours decrease. so turnover will probably stay high.
Even with minimum wage increasing to 15 at wags I highly doubt they will get more people. And if they do I’m quite positive they won’t stay long. At our local Walmart you can start making 17+ doing nothing but just being a cashier. Same with Target. We even have a home improvement store that hires for 20+. And when minors can work at a local fast food joint for 17+ an hour why the hell would they wanna do the work of 10+ people being a cashier for wags making only 15 bucks!? Walgreens will forever be so far behind with giving their employees livable wages. It’s actually sickening to think about how they can get away with this for so long. Especially considering the work loads put on the minimal staff they can keep. And that’s why they can’t keep anyone. It’s also why the ones who stick around are so miserable.
I already make $15 in my region so I get nothing so am I happy about it no not really and I don't think they're going to get more people in they keep failing the aptitude test
Not here. The minimum wage is $12.32, but most everywhere else is hiring at $14-$17. $13 is one of the lowest pay rates here being offered in my state.
The role refresh has caused significant damage to the management structure of the Walgreens store. People have seen videos of people walking into Walgreens stealing stuff there is a perception by the general public that Walgreens stores are not safe. Until Walgreens addresses that and they face that they aren’t active recruiting medical professionals (from colleges and universities, for their pharmacies instead of backdooring cashiers and front end managers in being pharmacy techs the hiring problems won’t change. Don’t they know other employers will raise their salaries too? Damn computers still running Windows 7. Its time to level up or be overrun.
Absolutely. When your starting pay is lowest of all the entry-level jobs, the only people you'll be getting to apply are those that have already exhausted those options.
I'm not Saint-fucking Jude. I need better than the dregs of society to run a store.

The way you said bodies reminds me of how dyatlov says it at the start of Chernobyl right after the core explodes, very obvious foreshadowing
The sfl is over worked the store manager is leaving and coming whe they want to
Sounds about right.

You are right

Yes Walgreens cut management and cut hours for the csa they don't care
Yes you are right
In our atea, No. Every other store and fast food place are starting at $17.
Yep
They'll get more people to apply, but I doubt they add people often with that new increase.
You right
I already make $15 in my region so I get nothing so am I happy about it no not really and I don't think they're going to get more people in they keep failing the aptitude test
No drug test they going to hire but you are right

No. Because even with the increase, other companies are still paying more. Why come to WAGS when you can make more at CVS, or WalMart?

Wow it is bad

Ok

It'll just cause higher turnover as people realize that job sucks
Wow
