I started working as a tech.with the intention of doing my internship in a store.The pharmacist had told me that he would be my preceptor and that all my tech hours would most likely be included.I work a couple of hours a day so my inshernship was going to be a very long one so i was not concerned about pay.Shortly after i started,I noticed that that pharmacist was nowhere around and everyday there is a new floater.It turned out that he left or got fired,nobody is speaking about it.Now ,the company is reviewing all his actions and have said that it is not their company policy to train foreign graduates for 2080 hours.They don't have the budget for it and that they cannot pay me tech's rates and claim that I am an intern as they could be violating a labour law.However,if the health board of Florida says that tech's hours do count,then they might be forced to review my situation.
I do not want to mention any names here but the guy who is in charge at this company is not amenable to compromise and I think that since he was once a foreign graduate himself ,it is such a shame that he has forgotten the plight of someone who is trying their best under the cicumstances.
