Just found this board. As Aetna takes over IT and financial planning I find it hilarious that the retail side has delusions of competence. It's strictly amateur hour in CVS. That's why the much of the IT infrastructure team has already been laid off without ceremony. It's unbelievable that a company of CVS's size can be run like a 7-11.

Oh Aetna.... you shall see. There as some delusions around here, but it’s not the retail side. Enjoy the freedom while it lasts. You’ll be taken over and squeezed for everything you’re worth just like the rest of us before long.
Much like every department in our company it is run by the financial department and essentially Wall Street. Every facet of our business is starved of funds and resources in the name of a balance sheet The IT people are no different. I suspect they are a group of talented people who care and have pride in their work, but can’t get their job done due to the lack of resources. Sound familiar? Believe me, this issue is not exclusive to us at store level.
Except, what if Judge Leon rejects the
merger? Then cvs just laid off the IT dept for nothing. oops...
