My heart tells me that I'm wasting my time, but my brain tells me that I need to say something.
So, let me tell you new pharmacy graduates that, as much as you're motivated to go out and show the world just how great you are, that you need to rein in your desires to prove yourself individually to those who can't wait to exploit you, and come together as one to assert your importance as a whole.
If you start competing against each other in order to prove that you're better than your colleagues, the powers that control the profession (chains, PBMs, insurers, and other large corporations) will use that competition to divide and conquer us.
Again, don't just take my word for it.
ReplyDeleteListen to your heart Jason. You know that we've already been divided and conquered. Throughout America, business independence has become a thing of the past.
ReplyDeleteFor the most part, if you want to work, pharmacy today means becoming assimilated into the corporate feudal system and supporting their interests even if it involves battling against each other.
