Walgreen's POWER program (loan, employment, purchases)

[cphtdfw]

For anyone who works for Walgreens...have you heard when they will start rolling out POWER to the DFW market?

[loves2read]

I think people here have no clue what the Power program is since we don't work for Walgreens--

have you checked the site on-line
have you asked someone with Walgreen's

[former walgreens tech]

When it does roll out, I suggest u roliing right along with it ...because it sucks...1000's of complaints less employees and lines out the front door!!!!

For Wag employees...KPI's are pinnacle. Based upon relative available information- (not from Wag directly) you must be the best of the best. This applies to Techs & RPh's. Lines will be drawn. If you are below the line, you will be eliminated. See posts for the Orlando Fl Walgreen Power. Many questions, much uncertainty. Rumors are abundant. Supervisors are silent. Change is eminent. Some stores are already being reconfigured with respect to placement of RX PC terminals- sans explanation. Roll out has been slated for this fall, then next spring, then on hold, to who knows when. Kindly post if you are aware of the arrival time for POWER in this DFW market.

For those of you who may have gone through POWER and the workforce reduction- a couple questions???

1. How do they (Wag) handle any employee stock purchases ie: loan balances for current
purchases?

2. Same question regarding Share Walgreens? Does the employee surrender options, as a result of employment ending?

Golden handcuffs, no longer golden- they now seem more of a noose.

What you just said makes absolutely no sense to me.
