I was told my Job position was terminated today


at Rite Aid. I was the Wellness Ambassador there and that I must work until Friday in order to get my severance pay. Amazing if I wanted to quit I would have to give them a 2 week notice I got three days left to work. We worked everyday to make money for this company in this position.

Gotta love Corporate America!!!

Rite Aid was bought out by Walgreens so in order for it not to look like a monopoly Walgreens sold 872 Rite Aids to Fred Pharmacy based out of Tennessee.

Everyone wants to be a corporate giant! Making America Great Again Folks!!!
I am 4 months short of turning 60 who is going to hire me????? I'm tired of trying to reinvent myself.

1. Obviously your job did not require a decent command of written English. 2. As far as I know, no state's law requires 2 weeks notice to quit a job. Making a habit of not giving notice when quitting could have consequences. Big whoop! 3. As for your last 3 days, you're getting paid for your hours, plus you're getting severance. What's your beef. If you update your resume' and get it into circulation promptly, you could have a new job within days, and most of your severance will be "free money". 4. Oh, and as to getting 3 days notice of being laid off, in 3 of my 5 times being laid off I was notified and processed out the door on the same day. Welcome to real life, snowflake.

Yo, you worthless bitch. That deal went through under your president, Obama. He set the rules that got you fired. Suck on that.

I would suggest that the DUchebag steals some razor blades and slits its wrists. That will show Trump, big corporations, and everybody else.

Remember, down the lane, not across the street.

Self immolation in the feminine hygiene isle would make a more dramatic impression.  :-)

The question is why was Rite Aid so stupid in the first place?

They really do have that as a title for a job, but what they don't have is a severance package.

DUmmie was probably pilfering from the pill cabinets, and got caught by the pharmacist.

No one in their right mind will hire a whiner like you.

You spent your life merely existing and not developing yourself.  There is no "reinvention" needed for people who started the whole process out correctly, basing their growth on morals and values.  The rest follows.

I too am nearing 60.  My employer and I had a parting of the ways on what is important.  I hung my shingle and promptly began making twice what I was making employed (you're welcome BTW since I will be paying about 30% of my gross to federal income tax).

Crybabies and ne'er-do-wells the lot of 'em.

well, these two Dicks, both dems, sure had a problem with these wellness ambassadors:

so Betts was just an glorified old clerk the whole while.

Oh, for heaven's sake! I was hired by a company when I was 2 weeks of turning 62! Big whoop! And I don't want to try to count how many times I've "reinvented myself! When I graduated from De Vry the Zilog Z80 microprocessor had just been released, and switchmode power supplies were just starting to transition from military/NASA use into civilian use. There's no way in Hades I could have a job in tech based just on what I learned at De Vry! What! A! Whiner!

Suck it up snowflake. If you added any value to the company you would still be employed.

So her "job" amounted to wandering the store, looking for customers who look like they aren't finding what they want, and then using their tablet to tell them where to go? That's something a high schooler should be doing! She should have "reinvented" herself by becoming something unique, something requiring special knowledge, like a pharmacy technician.

I have substantial sympathy, usually, for someone who's been laid off, but a 60ish adult whose education and skills have them qualified for a job suited for a high schooler or junior college student? What has she been doing the past 40 or 45 years?!

That's why the WillyT primitive, Skippy's stooge, on Manny's message board intrigues me so; he started off his career as a file clerk for the state of California back when Nixon was president.  And now here we are, at the beginning of President Trump, and.....he's still a file clerk.

Damn.

Most of us spend our working lives trying to avoid the "sticky floor" or the "glass ceiling."

Actually, he's probably worked his way up from file clerk to being responsible for changing toner cartridges in copiers and laser printers, and clearing occasional paper jams. Maybe even ordering for stocking stationery cabinets, too. :-) My first junior technician job - 1977 - was at $3.75/hour. I'm making, well, considerably more than that, and I'm working with things not envisionable 40 years ago. sg was doing what department stores, 5 or 6 or ? decades ago called a "floor walker".

The DUmmie should be thankful. Most of them when they are fired are shoved out the door right away, at least she got to work a few more days and got a severance.

No she won't.

I can see, as part of cost cutting, eliminating these positions.  Not necessary if the products have been merchandised well.  Now, if I'm in a pharmacy, there are times I really don't want someone hovering around while I'm looking at personal stuff.

When I posted that I hadn't had the patience to read very far into her post. The whininess sounded like a 20-something, and I thought she might have marketable skills. Sadly, I think she doesn't have much potential, and has pretty much given up. She'll be whining about age discrimination before she sends out her first resume'.

A glorified floor-walker would be pretty expendable in any kind of belt tightening.

Dummie thinks her final paycheck is severance pay. Which technically it is I suppose.  What they probably told the dummie is if it worked til the last day it could file for unemployment. Not so if it walks out now.

If I was the store manager I would shove the dummie out the door as quick as possible for the simple reason that the dummie will try to steal every thing that is not nailed down.

^^ Yes.  It's almost unheard of to "give notice" to a firing.  All kinds of potential for sabotage, theft, even violence.  No responsible manager would do that.

In IT, fired and laid off people get the boot immediately - access privileges shut down immediately - for exactly that reason. It's not "nice", but just one revenge-minded person could do a lot of damage.

I'm reading a novel where a family had to fire the housekeeper for threatening their daughter and being weird.  They let her stay for one more week.  She ended up slaughtering the entire family.  Fired?  You go now!
