Dis-Chem not allowed to hire anymore white people for now

[RiaX]

Ya hey. Don't you just love it when your pharmacist is a quota retard

Have fun dying with those complex drug interactions.

FYI your Dr can't save you from those

 

[Supervan II]

How many are there

Not enough. Not even for current requirements, and most of them happen to be white.

That Western concepts of Science and Maths, remember?

Wake up and smell the coffeerot

ETA: And then you have MrT (who is Coloured) that has an Afrikaans surname and is paler than me (his mother too!). No-one wanted to believe that he was a qualified (insert AA/EE) appointment.

Saltzman eh ?

I cut up my dischem card

Wont shop at them again

There are few other companies doing the same. 99% of people must be EE, if they cant find EE then they will import people from India.

LOL, do you actually realise how few non-white pharmacists are out there? He doesn't have the luxury to place moratoriums on white pharmacists, without pharmacists he has no business.

Then you still have to factor in the pharmaceutical manufacturing sector, which is placing pharmacists into every position that was once occupied by non-pharmacists, from clerical work to warehousing and distribution.

There is just not enough to go around and it is being exacerbated by the SAPRA and SAHPRA who have clerks (pharmacists) who are writing rules and laws without realising the consequences (labour cost, amongst others).

Well, why did he write the letter suspending the hiring of white people if he wouldn't be able to find non white ones anyway? Seems contradictory.

All large companies comply with the racist laws. Even smaller pharmacies might also comply and support racist labour laws. It`s the woke thing to do.

You should have made a video of the event and started a hashtag thing on Twitter.

Probably doesn't realise the situation regarding availability. He would find out soon enough, though, either leaving the vacancy open or appointing someone "suitable" at a largely inflated salary.

And the qualified, non-white (especially black) pharmacists know this and demand higher remuneration - and then after a few months they move on to a better offer as the demand is there (due to BEE, no less).

No if you a business owner of your own pharmacy they can't do anything to you. Because most pharmacist owned pharmacies have like 5 staff.

I've never seen a pharmacist do that. Ok in the research setting I've seen it a handful of times. Not in retail.

Do they have other employees besides pharmacists? Someone mentioned that the pharmacies are owner managed so it's possible they might no be directly employed by dischem? It is possible that most of their employees are not pharmacists therefore the shortage of black pharmacists is not even a big factor in the EE compliance issues, no?

I don't see a problem with what he said in those quotes.

The income inequality in SA is high, and is largely divided between racial lines, and is a result of the past, and needs to be addressed.

The problem is with how the ANC tried to tackle this for their own gain, and using these real issues above as an excuse for their behaviour...

If you want to talk about so called" white privilege", then you are going to get exactly the same result as ANC policy. It is absolutely inevitable.

Imagine thinking you will know how to do racial bean counting better than the ANC.

Dischem is a group which dispenses medicines. No pharmacist = no dispensing medicines. It's that simple.

The pharmacies that are owner-managed are separate entities altogether and are non-corporate, although they may be affiliated (eg, Klinimed, Alphapharm, Link, etc) .

Yeah, that doesn't answer my questions though, Eskom is a group that generates electricity, at least in theory, but it does not mean the whole staff complement is made of electrical engineers.

There should surely be more to the group than dispensing medicine? You can't take their EE compliance challenges and confine them to pharmacists if there are other employees in the company.

Just saying, I am not saying I know exactly how their business model is, just using common sense, which might not necessarily be common in this case.

And then you have retarded government regulations that make it impossible for a pharmacy to actually profit off its dispensary.

Regulate the amount of money people can make and shock and horror, you have a shortage of people who will do the work:

Where the SEP is less than R118.80, the maximum dispensing fee is R15.80 + 46.0% of the SEP.
Where the SEP is less than R315.53, the maximum dispensing fee is R30.24 + 33.0% of the SEP.
Where the SEP is less than R1104.40, the maximum dispensing fee is R86.11 + 15.0% of the SEP.
Otherwise the maximum dispensing fee is R198.36 + 5.0% of the SEP.

My manager is a pharmacist and has ranted to me quite a few times on how little money the dispensery use to make. Bear in mind, you need degreed professionals to do the work according to law.

It is actually a miracle of capitalism that we even have pharmacies in South Africa. Pretty much everything that isn't in the dispensery has to subsidize the stuff in the dispensery. It is absolutely retarded and ensures that there will never be enough pharmacies in the country to meet demand.

This isn't a "thriving economy" which is why we have BEE in the first place, your example seems to refer to an ideal state? BEE is the stinky plaster over a major gash.

If a black person and a white person have the same competency, what should the business owner look at next? The long-term benefits? The person's character? Their age?

R540 million looted from social grants in South Africa

The Department of Social Development says that over 1,100 people have “unduly benefited” from social grants in the country over the last decade through fraud and corruption, taking at least R540 million with them.

Their core business is dispensing medicine. Does that answer your question?

ETA: Every single building where medicine is dispensed is registered at SAHPRA as a pharmacy, hence must have a Responsible Pharmacist (registered at SAPRA), irrespective of other staff or other products sold.

Imagine my horror when this law came as a junior pharm.

Then they sold the ownership of pharmacies to non pharmacists

Thus our salaries took a huge nose dive. They pay them like tablet counters so they will get tablet counters
