I went through TWO acquisitions in that pharmacy, with the same staff: the first time around, we went from "independent, pharmacist-owned" to "small multiple"(You-know-who from Bolton, Jeff!): it went OK, we got through it; then, 4 years later, we went from "small multiple" to Lloyds... and things began to fall apart after about 15 months, with the arrival of a new, rather pushy non-pharmacist Area Manager...
I held out for 2 years; the final straw for me was being expected to achieve double my MUR target in the month leading up to my holidays, "to compensate for my absence"...
