I no longer work at the Pharmacy.

I agree with what you did....you do not have to put up with abuse....and it would have gotten worse.....Also, I agree with Moosmom about reporting him to the state, not only about the abuse, but also because he had a dog in the pharmacy. I love, love, love dogs, and I would love to have one with me at work, but I don't know if they belong in a pharmacy where pills are dispensed. There are some things, like water and I'm sure other things, that probably need to remain sterile....can you imagine opening your medicine bottle and a big dog hair pours out?

It might vary state to state, but I wouldn't think 3 weeks on a job qualifies you for unemployment.

I concur with this most definitely. Besides that - she quit!

When you quit, you generally forfeit your unemployment privileges.

Thanks all of you for being so supportive with me about this. I didn't know how some of you would take it and I didn't wany anyone to look down on me because I quit the job. I don't want to get anybody into trouble-even though I do feel sorry for the girls working there; especially one of them. I'm just glad I'm not working there anymore. I'm going this week to search around for something.

Also someone asked about the GoodYear application. I put one in they just haven't called me...so I don't know if they're going to or not, but until they do (if they ever do) I'm just gonna keep working and find another job till then...

I know what you mean!! That would be gross! And like you said I LOVE dogs too! But it is kinda gross coming home and having your jacket on and looking down to see big white hairs of someone else's dog! lol

Once while I was working there a woman from the health department came in. He about flipped trying to get his dog out of there-he couldn't get it outside to his truck w/out her seeing, so he stuck it in a back closet...and oddly she didn't ever look in the closet-I thought surely the dog was gonna bark or something where she would hear it, but nope...it didn't and she never knew the dog was in the pharmacy

[Catty1]

Call the health board and tell them to look in the closet next time! Obviously that guy knows having his dog there is against the law...and there is a reason for the law.

Heck - can't she see all the dog hair?

Good for you, Genny - you stretched yourself and tried a different job, and you did what is right for yourself and are going to try another. Good on ya!

But really - if there is some way to report the health concern AND the hostile environment, you will be helping many more other people than yourself. This includes your former boss. He may need medical and/or psych help, and won't do it until he HAS to.

HUGS to you!
