My director proposed discussing my career planning in our upcoming meeting. Soon after, I noticed she had deducted 100 hours from my PTO Bank. She then took a week-long vacation and is expected back in the office next week. I suspect she might be... — read more

A&BC layoffs next week
Will there be any A&BC layoffs under Ali Keshvaraz?
So layoffs are next week?
It’s pretty much what everybody says now. How many people will be affected, what do you think? Which areas will be targeted?
Transformation 3.0
What’s everyone heating?
HR meeting today?
Did the HR meeting really happen today? Can other ppl confirm? We don’t want one rouge comment panicking people if it’s not true.
So many execs on “PTO/vacation”
I’m sure it’s entirely a coincidence that exec leaders are ALL of PTO right now… with essentially the same away message. I’m sure they totally aren’t in a secret meeting deciding our futures. Because this didn’t happen right before the last huge... — read more
Strike via Inebriation
I’m thinking we should all go to work or hop on the VPN on our illicit dr-gs or drinks of choice. The entire workforce. That’ll show em.
My goal is to leave CVS before the end of the year
Things have been going downhill for years so that seems like the only smart thing to do. I used to like my job and now I feel sick to my stomach every day when I have to head to work. I know no job is ideal and I can expect to have problems... — read more
No layoffs confirmed. Stop the rumors
Manager told us we are safe and has confirmed with VP too. Don’t believe any rumors on here
How are they getting around the WARN act this time?
Last year. There were long runways of staff staying on for months after getting the news they would be laid off. This delayed CVS going through the WARN process. Now I hear that layoffs are supposed to happen next week, with staff leaving middle of... — read more
Time for ehite collar unions
Its not just cvs, many Profitable companies are laying off people yet CEOs take no hits.
RTO enforcement
What will happen to people who aren't compliant? That many people getting summarily fired next week seems unlikely.
Layoffs based on RTO
May layoffs be based on compliance with return to office policies?
BIG CHANGES
Emergency meetings happening. Get readu for the show.
I’ve worked at several pharma retailers before
CVS is definitely the worst. I took the job a while ago due to convenience (moved for a family member). There are not many better opportunities where I am, so I’m stuck with CVS for now. But Jesus, is it a horrible workplace…
Who actually does the “terminating” during layoffs?
Who does the actual termination when they decide to cut your position/let you go due to layoffs? I report to a Director, so would it be them? Or does someone in HR do it? Thanks
Appeal "Water Cooler Chat" meeting w/Max
It feels like colleagues in these meetings are too scared to state how they really think or feel for fear of retaliation by their management. Maybe Max should have these without managers or supervisors on the call.
Is CVS "too big to fail?"
People keep telling me I shouldn't be worried about CVS going the way of the dinosaur, but I'm not so sure. Much bigger companies have folded and no longer exist. Considering how things have been going lately, I don't think it's outside the realm of... — read more
What is the official policy on not being alone in the store? And where do I find it exactly, so that I have it in writing.
Posting here instead of reddit, to keep more anonymous for obvious reasons. Let’s just say our DL conveniently looks the other way when alone, and says just stay open your fine. I need written proof he’s wrong. I know it’s against company policy... — read more

Any read for Octoberfest?
Things are awkwardly peaceful lately, anything brewing for October?
CVS is past the point of no return
So many opportunities to develop, diversify and deploy sound business tactics have been missed. Model under which we are operating now has no future. CVS will just drag itself to the finish point, shedding decent employees, talent and missed... — read more

Average Age of Layoff Folks
Most selected to layoff seem to be in their late 45s and over. Does this mean there are grounds for age discrimination? Often they select 5 to 7 people in the same job category. Then segregate them by Race, Age, Gender. Anyone over 45 and above will... — read more
Ok CVS your turn! Walgreens is closing for Thanksgiving. Time for corporate to do the right thing and do the same.

For the voice survey, do you think they intentionally make the deadline for sep 29?
I have a feeling that they set the deadline as end of September so that when layoff happens in October, no one has the opportunity to make true voice on true issues that matter. what do you thin?
Colleague Voices Survey
What are you writing? What do you think they would even care about? Is this useless?
Bye Bye!
After 11 years in retail pharmacy, I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be stepping away from the grind and embracing a new opportunity. I’ve accepted a part-time position at a compounding pharmacy which means no vaccines, no controlled substances... — read more

Why was my 9-11 post removed? Funny a couple of hours after I sent it, the cvs home page magically had a post on 9-11..... Big brother is definitely on this site

Life feels so different now
It's only been 10 weeks since I quit, but honestly, it feels more like 12 months! I can't believe how much has changed since I left CVS. My mental health has improved immeasurably. Seriously, walking away was the best decision ever. I know it's... — read more
CVS mobile apps team
How is the mobile apps team at CVS? Is it outsourced to contractors or full time employees? Is the work culture as bad as other teams?
Today's Retail Leadership Call
You'd think everything was coming up roses, after that touch base. I guess we are so good that they won't be doing to retail for the 2 Billion in cost saving.... Right?
Any Product affected?
Any word on product being affected this year. We got hit pretty hard and were downsized last year
Aetna dental
I just got rehired and started a couple weeks ago ain Aetna Dental in California. Some people have been talking about layoffs has anybody heard anything in my department? Not sure why they would be hiring if they just plan on laying off.
Appeals misery
Anyone else here from appeals feeling completely burnt out? I’ve never experienced such a toxic and punitive work environment. Leaderships only focus is unrealistic metrics. No work life balance at all. No wonder turnover is so high.
