so i work in the pharmacy as a tech i have been there for almost a year. my first cousin wanted a job in the pharmacy. i would not be her boss. and she would not be my boss.. well she got a interview and my hr(also asst store manager) knew she was family so did my pharmacist and my lead tech. she got the job and then after my lead tech and pharmacist spoke to my pharmacy manager ( who i know doesn't like me and talks bad about me behind my back to my other techs) she told them no she didn't want to hire my cousin. well then the next day they called her back and revoked the hire. now they are telling everyone its mainly because of her availability ( she has a completely open availability) and also that she's family. what can my cousin do? my store is the one she really wants to work at. because the next closest store she lives near is fully staffed.
Seems like your pharmacy manager didn't want the distraction that having a second family member in the department would cause. Happens all the time, but it is weird that they simply revoked her hire rather than just transfer to another department, unless all other departments were already fully staffed.
no my whole store is really understaffed. all the krogers around me are except for one. and i understand that.. but you're not allowed to not hire someone just because of them being in the same department. wouldn't be a distraction. she's my cousin not my sister
