Though we touched and went our separate ways
With the split being front and center, I have not seen any WARN notices go out from the last rounds. Curious to see what if any DDAT was let go since there were no threads here.
CVS Stock
From 2008 - 2026 the U.S. Stock Market has had an average return of 11.65% PER YEAR. When CVS purchased Aetna, the sell price was $80.71 per share. In 8 YEARS, we (as well as the entire investor community) have had a 0% return on the CVS stock. ... — read more
Most of CVS' problems are self inflicted.
People have said you reap what you sow. Zero transparency in how things are run and excessive corporate greed will be their undoing.
HQ
Any rumors where they would shift the headquarters of the two companies.
PBM/Insurer retaining Specialty
Low IQ decision after low IQ decision. This will blow up in our faces.
Isn't it ironic, doncha think
I mean..sure let's let people with a decade or more in experience go says 2024 to 2026, some at what is considered unhirable based on age and skills because of antiquated software and time served with one company. Let's send all those people into a... — read more

Shoutout to the guy on here who complains about data engineers
You’re nothing if not consistent
How many jobs will this split take?
I'm afraid it's going to be a bloodbath.
Soooo what’s gonna happen to Shared Services?
During the town hall, the CHRO pretty much said they don’t know what’s going to happen to business areas that support the enterprise (DDAT, HR, Finance, etc.). I’m guessing both companies will get their own Shared Services area?
Special Company Wide Town Hall
If everything is so wonderful with splitting in two, then why is the market reacting so negatively?
DJ needs better advice from IR and Communications
Our past two quarterly IR calls have been executed poorly. We had a huge beat in Q2 and spent the call pontificating on possible 2027 headwinds. The stock fell form $107 to the mid $80s before finally rallying back into the $90 range. Today we launch... — read more

Retail split off, thoughts?
Curious how everyone feels? Sounds good at first but seeing how Walgreens and Rite Aid failed as a standalone makes me worried

What is the rationale behind the upcoming four-hour DDAT training session?
What is the rationale behind the upcoming four-hour DDAT training session? Dedicating a four-hour block to topics like "DDAT Iteration Planning" is highly impractical for teams managing heavy daily workloads. Furthermore, the schedule allows for... — read more
Why doesn't CVS offer a buyout like Microsoft is currently offering their employees?
Oh, I forgot...retail mentality.
L&D job elimination
Like clockwork it's October they are 'functionally eliminating' another training role. Program Owners are on the chopping block today. Forcing a large number of people to all jockey for the same limited roles they are 'replacing' it with. When you... — read more
Stars are what drive your raises and bonuses.
So I guess sueing CMS on 28 criteria is a better use of money? Maybe it's time to look closer to home.

What does Product Owners do here?
They do not go and get clarity on software requirements from clients, developers have to go on calls for that. They do not understand technical topics in the age of AI and all types of knowledge at the tip of their fingers. I heard in many other... — read more
Job elimination due to underperformance

Cannot complain
Every group is bloated, and it’s ridiculously easy to coast by working just 20 hours a week. Data engineering has to be the biggest cheat code of them all. You basically just work with existing tools while pulling in close to top-level pay.
HR Town Hall

Because that's one place where there's more than enough fat to cut.
