The executives failings are always your fault at the bottom

Jop reqs
Hearing from various areas that job postings are being closed. So in addition to putting promotions and salary adjustments on hold, they're ki-ling all the open positions. This place is fu---d.
Sh-t show
Brian Kane would literally fire his mother to save his own job. He's a creepy insensitive numbers first guy. The entire executive team is completely inept and incapable of running this company. They fu-k up and we pay the price.

Aetna Town Hall, June 18
Any idea if they will discuss Aetna layoffs in today’s Town Hall?
Recalls
CVS Health leads in recall of "contaminated" products. Nothing but profit over customer health. Made in China by slave labor in filthy working conditions. Corporate puts out a well worded line of cr-p from a $100,000 per year corporate "hack".
Sheep
I have never in my life seen a group of more talented people worry about their fate. I know you all have spent years investing and building this company but you do not deserve to sit here and be scared daily over your job. Most of you make at best... — read more

RTO - Must be refreshing to have real leaders in leadership.
Return-to-office pushes are largely fading--but one large company has completely reversed its mandate. H&R Block--the tax preparation company headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri--announced a companywide hybrid policy in March 2021 that would... — read more
Should I report employee theft?
Hi, nearly everyone at my store is stealing product (not cash or dr-gs, though). It's stupid stuff (like a bottle of shampoo or a 12-pack of beer, or some apples, or not paying for lunch) nothing major but it happens nearly every.Single. Shift. It's... — read more
pretty sure most hybrid employees are going to comply
Where is the idea there will be massive terminations coming from? Yes, whoever doesn't comply will get axed, but I have a hard time believing most people wouldn't show up when their job is on the line.
Layoffs confirmed, but they will keep us in suspense
I mean, what’s wrong with those people?? Can’t they organize everything, then give us some timeline, provide info as to who is most likely to be laid off, so we can make our own preparations? Do they really have to make it into a thriller, driving... — read more
Is it really ethical to take disciplinary action for not complying with RTO policy without giving a warning?
They haven’t mentioned anything about disciplinary action in last year’s RTO email. I genuinely think this is just a BIG WARNING to bring everyone back to office or to terminate those who don’t follow the policy from now on

Severance for non-RTO layoffs

Is there a hiring freeze in IT too?
To the person who said CVS employees should be grateful to have a job...
That's not the point. Yes, people should be grateful to have a job, especially in this economy. HOWEVER, no one should have to work in the kind of threatening, stressful, metrics-driven, numbers-only culture that is CVS. And air-conditioned... — read more

Are there any remote employees being impacted by this new RTO?
All of the remote employees that I work with are saying they aren’t impacted since their BU went remote. Just curious if there are actually any remote employees that have to come in now?

Laid off and reapplying?
Has anyone that was laid off last year applied for another position? One was recommended to me on LinkedIn and I’m considering it. Are they hiring laid off employees? Would it be best to go through an old coworker?
