Pharmacist suspended for stealing £16,000 worth of cosmetics

Don't know what actually went on here but it isn't too far fetched to believe employers put pharmacists into these positions (this isn't an excuse for theft of course). For all of the new innovations and strategies pharmacy is making, pharmacists and their staff are the ones who have to deal with the extra pressure and stress - and not a single penny is offered for the extra workload - and as it happens, if a slight increase in wage meant a huge increase in family pressure or reduction in quality of life, the vast majority would say 'no!'. It is mind-numbing hearing the loud voices of the Powers That Be, who represent less than 1% of the workforce, make it sound like they are representative of all pharmacists.

It is demoralising for the pharmacists on the street who can only ever have their voices heard on forum posts and blogs, never to be read by the vast majority. The pharmacist on the street could be likened to the sheep being lead by a vicious shepherd to the slaughter - utterly powerless to protest, even if it has an awareness of what is happening. To add to the depression, the sheep know that the Powers That Be know all of this and use it freely to their advantage.

I'm not sure if they even do any 'real' pharmacy work - many of them have not practiced in decades, or merely work one day per week, yet they are the policy makers - why? Their own ideas do not affect them since they do not work in a pharmacy, so why are they so keen to call for these changes? Please, stop interfering with other people's work and lives, just let it go. Your time is done, we respect you for your contribution. It's almost as if they fear to let pharmacy go because they have spent their whole lives in it, and their lives would lose meaning if pharmacy was taken out. Get a psychiatrist, guys, seriously. And retire. We the 99% are the profession, not you, and we don't like what you are doing to it.
