"I work for a big chain with a lot of locations. I transferred to this store after having conflicts with a toxic new manager at the first store I worked at. I was nervous joining a new team with all new people, but Mark changed everything. When I first came here, he welcomed me and helped me get to know the others there. Mark is a really smart pharmacist, a great manager,"
"On top of that, he's charismatic, and he's HOT. The team is good-none of the other techs are mean to me, and I don't really dislike any of them-but I'm not particularly close with any of them. It's the kind of team that only works well because of how good the manager is, and since I came here, that has been clear to me. He is the life of this place."
A retail pharmacy technician transferred after conflicts with a toxic manager and found a welcoming environment under a charismatic pharmacist manager named Mark. The manager creates a positive, efficient workplace, earns patient praise, and maintains team cohesion. The technician developed strong romantic feelings after experiencing the supportive atmosphere and frequent interactions. Mark appears to reciprocate through frequent off-shift texts about work stories and casual questions about the technician's time off. The technician is uncertain whether the attention is professional praise or personal interest, and the situation raises concerns about workplace boundaries and dynamics.
