    Aren't you the one buying the Toyota GT86

    Never understood the big deal with pharmacists, the most difficult thing they have to do is figure out the doctor's handwriting

    Lol, we do waaay more than that sir, well we suppose to. Though I will divulge the secrets with government employment rates.

    Pharmacists get grades, 1 2 3 according to experience salary ranges from 24k to 50k. The retail pharmacist, the guy you give your 'paper' to, doesnt get that. He gets R24.00 per prescription he processes. With that R24.00 he must pay the electricity bill, staff, delivery charges, water bill, rent, tax ect. Now that clicks has been allowed to be pharmacies (before a pharmacy was only allowed to be pharmacist owned) he must compete with a massive franchise, that pushes its own products that have 0 test data because they are "supplements". Pharmacists in clicks are FORCED to push the clicks brand they get rated for it, hence why i refused to work for clicks. If i need cash I locum there and I dont move of the chair. Now clicks/dischem are huge businesses hence their buying power is greater hence the cheaper medicine (discounting). Now I dont really have a problem with the franchise its like a shopkeeper claiming they must ban PnP. I do have a problem with them cutting deals with drug companies then forcing the medical staff to push their formularies and bluff their patients "its the same thing", I believe If a patient wants a specific product and they legal to obtain it then they must get what they asked for, you can suggest BETTER products but never worse.

    Also a lot of the pharms in these places are part time so you dont get the total care you suppose to have. The job of a pharmacist is to safe guard the patient (at that level), your pharmacist is suppose to know your ENTIRE drug history, because you will have many doctors your pharmacy its suppose to be the central hub where your medical history across the board is complied, that has be lost in the massive corporate explosion of pharmacy.

    For comparison the Drs in state start at 40k and go right up to 100k , they also under paid if you ask me for the level of work they do, you try working a 72 hour straight shift and an infectious MDR/XDR TB zone or with the criminally insane. How much would it cost for me to stab you with an HIV infected needle ? hmmmm

    anyways pharmacist = poor = GT86
    doctor = not so poor and overworked = porsche

    though the pinnacle of medicine is a pharmacist, thats where im trying to go. Pharmceutical company. A friend of mine owns a pharmaceutical production plant he makes only 5 drugs for SA (generics), he lives in monaco now, probably has a bigger garage than jay leno D: its a freaking parkade.

    You know if your doctor wrote neatly you probably have your meds in like a minutes TBH. They write like scht because they cant spell half the drugs so they put the first letter and the last 3 usually

    That's what I did with my last two jobs. I got a 15 percent increase the January, the February I applied for a job and they asked me how much I was getting and they beat that with 15 percent. I was a little cocky and told them I have no need to leave my current job as I enjoy it (which I did). They on the other hand needed a systems analyst badly...and I knew that as I friend of mine works for them.

    So sammy my boy, its a dirtly little game where if you have enough info on them, YOU can be the one giving them buttsex! Do some research.

    thats kind off my plan ..last i heard they never gave anyone increases in Jan, so not sure who got and who didnt get. I started last year July and i was desperate to come back to Cpt so i took the job so when they did or if they did have an increase i didnt ask cause i received one after my 6 month probation (not much tho)

    so now our next increase is Jan and im not sure if we will get one but even if i get a 7-10% thats nothing. So im hoping i can ask for one next week and if i get one i can maybe use that as a bargain tool for new companies

    You should also look for a job in Bellville or Tygervalley. Just think how sweet it'd be to walk to the office
