Thread regarding CVS layoffs

What if 2019 turns out to be MORE of a rebuilding year than initially thought?

Just remember that acorns that fall to the ground can get buried and grow into large trees! So small things can over time turn into big things. Cvs is facing pressure from many angles, so while the sky might not be falling it certainly is NOT blue! Example: We were told by CEO that 2019 will be a rebuilding year. What if 2019 turns out to be MORE of a rebuilding year than initially thought? Then what? Remember too, that corporate wants to cut all Aetna debt by 2020. That’s a lot to cut in only one year. Where might those cuts come from? And we were told by corporate that the merger would be finalized before thanksgiving 2018, and yet here it is 4 months later and the court review goes on. YES the sky might not be falling you might be right, but things aren’t as rosy as you make them out to be.

Good point @Y5zT9xR-2aza

I was reading an article, about the merger, and they said that legal minds can't come to an agreement as to exactly how far this judge could take the merger court review. They hinted at the fact that in theory he may be able to block the merger outright. Interesting IF that's true.

CVS Corporate is very good at making a rainy day look like 72 degrees and sunny! So with corporate publicly admitting to Wall Street that 2019 is not going to be a good year, leads me to believe that things might be worse off than we all think. I am not trying to start any fights just calling it as I see it. I know some of you disagree with my thinking and I respect your opinion. However, between the issues at Omnicare and Caremark, the lawsuits, and the merger court review, and higher than expected integration costs with Aetna, there is the chance, however small, that one of these things explodes in corporate’s face. And if that happens it won’t be good.
