Thread regarding CVS layoffs

The company has shifted priorities from people and performance to performance only

The company has shifted priorities from people and performance to performance only. CVS does have a responsibility to the shareholders to not go down the toilet and performance will help achieve that. However, it is a shame that the field level culture has become cutthroat due to pressure from above. I can remember 5-6 years ago having trouble in my marriage and my DM coming to do a visit. I had worked 3 14’s in a row. He told me to call someone in and go home. I was worried about OT and payroll, he was worried about me. He simply told me that my family was more important than the business that day and I will never forget it. Saved my marriage, finished in top 20% of Region in performance that year. He left the company. It’s a shame...we still have some really good people that carried over from the big field cut a couple of years ago, but we also have some new ones that have something to prove. CVS wins because in another few years they will just replace all the ones who remember a proud company with high expectations that valued people with the ones that conform to their new DL model.

Well said @XXeQ6X9-1bbm ! thought I should repost this.

I must of missed the part where they valued people.

That's why they offered buyouts to all the top performing dms and rx supervisors a year ago.

Had the RCC cascade meeting recently. 51/49 was the focus. Said if you need to sacrifice tasks for service do it. It's funny because hours of course were cut to bare bones this year and the tasks can't get done anyways. Soooo when my dl asks why I'm two - three weeks behind with plano service will be my answer

The ship is sinking! CVS has got to do something to show Wall St. that everything's fine. In typical cvs fashion, they'll just have the DL's crack the whip, and squeeze as much out of the stores as possible. Sadly it's the retail side that'll feel the burn the most. With all the problems the company currently faces, it'll be the poor cashier and manager at the bottom of the food chain that'll probably feel the ax at some point, just so that Mr. Merlo can please Wall St., and make himself look good. Because right now even financial analysts are scratching their heads as to what's going on at cvs, while cvs corporate bigwigs remain silent.
