Usually it’s the one dreadful day where everyone gets laid off on the same day. However this year (at least for my department) I have noticed with the EDs and MDs that they are being let go here and there. Since January we have had about 5 officers let go.

At an Oregon CVS pharmacy where we were told we would have no issue keeping our jobs if the store closed. When it was announced, RxDL and FSDL both told respective staffs no one would lose their job. But due to market acquisition of Rite Aid stores, we have too many people (supposedly) and now we are being threatened with layoffs. Anyone seeing this in their area too?
