WALGREENS PHARMACY DISTRICT 11PHARMACY MANAGER; GARY CHEEMA RX DISTRICT MANAGER; MINAL THAKKARDISTRICT SUPERCOW; IRENE PAREISIRENT-A-COP LOSS PREVENTION; sexual harrassment/ retaliation HOUSTON Texas
I was a disabled Walgreens employee (suffer from chronic autoimmune disease ) and was being sexually harrassed by my pharmacy manager named Gary Cheema. He would repeatedly make remarks like ' oh you have sexy legs''., he would call my husband at work and tell him we were making out and fooling around before work right in front of me and other co workers. He would call my cell phone and hang up after hours after he had been out drinking all night.
The incidents were reported to the store manager two times, he sympathized with the manager in the sense he was going through a divorce and felt bad for him. The harrassment continued , by him singling me out by saying no one in the pharmacy could talk about partying or sex because i would complain. I then told the pharmacy supervisor Minal Thakkar about what is going on, she said she would address it... months go by and nothing was addressed nor was i ever told that it was addressed. The complaint then reached the district supervisor Irene Pareisi, she did nothing as well.
It came to the point that I filed a complaint with employee relations, walgreens then had 'loss prevention' officer 'investigate ' the matter. After a week of "investigating' the LP officer had the nerve to turn the incident around on me saying I was slandering the pharmacy managers name and if this is the case I would be disciplined.
At this point I already had proper accomodations at work for my condition, after I reported the incident, i was then told that I could no longer be accomodated and that I was bringing drama to the store ( i was told this by my new store manager Eva Rodriguez store manager of walgreens #5835 ). Ultimately ended up resigning because the stress from dealing with the new store manager, rent a cop loss prevention officer and my supervisors which caused me to have a flare up of my condition and ended up hospitalized for 3 days.
Walgreens does not care about the health or well being of their employees, and the fact that they let this happen with out it being addressed is shameful. Karma will come back to all of those involved, and I hope all of their customers and those involved read this as well. Everyone needs to know what kind of perverts and scum live in their community and supposedly value their employees and their health.
If you value you and your familys health , DO NOT do business at walgreens.
