When I learned I was let go, I thought the severance package would ease the blow and keep me from feeling upset. But after being kicked out with hardly a "thank you" after all my years of commitment, the package feels empty. It's tough to accept that... — read more 

We make a mistake when we say CVS merged with Aetna, or CVS acquired Aetna. The CVS that planned that deal, chose to buy Aetna over the other finalist target company, sold the deal to the Board, and executed the purchase, has completely disappeared... — read more

I wonder if there any statistics on the average time it took the previous wave to get rehired somewhere And did they get a better or worse salary?

Do they pay for unutilized PTO

I’ve been with CVS for a long time. Dodged the bullet this week, but I’m approaching 50, which is considered a very old age in the corporate world, so I’m preparing to be let go at the first next opportunity. I have been very saddened with all the... — read more

In store pharmacy industry is dying. More so apparently post COVID-19. People are use to ordering their prescriptions through an app or through PCP , urgent care, and dare I say online delivery. They don't want to walk into a store and buy over... — read more 

Everyone who wasn’t laid off is feeling mentally spent. Losing long-time colleagues is devastating and emotionally taxing, and we’re somehow supposed to continue on like nothing has happened. As a person, I just can’t. Management is walking on thin... — read more 

Which basically means that it will always lag its peers on a technology level. If you earn 120k or so as senior IC they view as a cost that needs to be offshored asap. Which is ridiculous when these days you make 100k out of grad school.

This company is on offshoring mania. Offshore contractors are safe. FTEs are being kicked out the door at an alarming rate. Do not listen to the leaders, they are devious, lie throughout processes and will gut you out in the end.

What’s up with these new assessments from Rejuvi? Sounds like not all managers and directors are getting them. Suspicious that low scores may be used for next round of layoffs.

The recent layoffs were not just layoffs. CVS is outsourcing a lot of these jobs. The news media needs to pick up on that. It isn’t enough that the government is paying for immigrants on our dime. CVS is helping by outsourcing jobs.

Is this thing still on any reported

But it does... I have friends both "sides" and worked for both companies before they were merged and after. Both had their pros and cons. Leaders have failed us on both sides, and this was 100% a failed merger/acquisition. CVS vs Aetna is what... — read more 

Dear Leadership. We know you scheduled a town hall meeting. Please don’t patronize us and come with some pep talk. You can shove it where the sun doesn’t shine. We get to do more work with less people and without many of the SME’s. Save it. — read more 

It’s very obvious from recent posts that Aetna isn’t too fond of CVS employees. So let me set the record straight: CVS never wanted Aetna either, or at least not its employees. We have never integrated well. You don’t play well in the sand, and your... — read more 

I read on another post that a lot of people were placed on PIPs a few months ago. Were they laid off, or are they "safe" until CVS kicks them out to stiff them of severance?

To my colleagues who were let go. I hope you get to read this. I was deeply sorry to hear about the layoffs, and my heart goes out to each of you who were affected. Some of the individuals I knew personally were truly invaluable, and the news has... — read more

I am sorry that you guys have to go through this cr-p. Curious if there were any layoff's from Plano or Richardson locations?

$2 billion dollars is a lot of money. Maybe we should go back to selling cigarettes and might as well sell weed while we are at it. Dispensaries are making a ki-ling these days. At least then our employees can keep their jobs.

Here’s an updated version of your comment, including the mention of the previous outsourcing attempt: It’s disheartening to see that CVS didn’t just lay people off—they outsourced jobs. Historically, outsourcing has often been shown to cost more in... — read more 

Ali K just sent out a meeting invite for this Friday likely to say layoffs are done for now in our department. They did this last year as well.

Don’t be fooled. This is far from over. There will be 4,000 more layoffs in March, 2025 and 5,000 more in October, 2025.
