A while back, the question on the lp audit, “is the store manager working 2 nights a week?” was taken off. Our DL had LP put the question back on the Audit. Has this happened in any other district? We also had to sign papers that if we didn’t work... —  read more

Does anyone know if this rule still applies? I feel like it’s pretty much downright impossible to get this done now. Takes us about 48 to fully finish.

North Carolina store here. Just been told by DL that we are going to be downgraded from Store Manager position to team leader and by end of next year we will all be hourly. Its time to head for the nearest exit

Here in Indiana, nearly all of our hours are going to RX. Honestly, it is really going to hurt CVS's brand, the front store is a convenient store. WE now have banker's hours, people are just going to go to Walgreens instead.

Why are they constantly b–ching about Carepass. Flu shots. Now it's simple dose. My god!! How much more can we do with no help?? District leaders said regional said write them up. If I do there wont be anyone left. This company has gone to... —  read more

What moral? At an all time low , not a question. Lets see anyone defend that? Big problems get bigger when moral drops as low as it is now. Lets see the RL’s and enablers of the cvs destruction chime in and defend it.

It’s saturday morning and I get a call from the RD. What is going on with payroll? Within 30 seconds, I realize that we have lost control of our company to people who come from failing companies like Sears and Macy’s! The message was loud and clear... —  read more

Where do you think they are going to cut to reduce debt—- change operation hours in stores under 30,000 per week — reduce head count - DL - Rl , it is just the start !

Why is that?

I believe the Aetna severance policy will be expiring soon. Assuming we will be merged into the CVS policy. What does CVS corporate offer for severance? Is there a salary continuation period followed by severance weeks? Outplacement services?

Drastic hour cuts. Matching RX.

People are talking about it in the replies like it's a done deal, but there was no official word on it from what I can tell. How do we know it's really happening? What am I missing?

It’s the beginning of the end guys! Soon all your pr-scrip-ions and otc products will be delivered via drones. Cvs doesn’t need the fs anymore!

Just got a text that we need to be on a top secret regional conference call? Only SM and PM no other colleagues. Anyone else have this? Know what it’s about?

Has anyone heard what we are looking at for FS budgets in 2020. Will it be a drastic (20+ hour) cut like last year or just a few hours cut? Obviously there will be some sort of cut, as I think we would all have to quit out of shock if they didn’t cut... —  read more

Layoffs coming in December monthly pharmacist. Confirmed today

Interesting question... Anyone know the real reason? "Is that the real reason they changed signing the ad to Sunday morning.. because we will close early with rx sat night?" by Anonymous | Post ID: @11gyBdeY-ezdo
