Showing Original Post only (View all)I was told my Job position was terminated today [View all]
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.

Keep your eye on them, make sure they don't hire a younger person in a similar job.

I am sorry you were treated like that. It seems to be acceptable corporate behavior.

You're not required to give notice when you quit a job. I'm very sorry about your job.

I bet if we had universal health care there would be less age discrimination - if any.
