If you are a remote employee and are laid off, I am assuming you need to return your office equipment - laptop, monitors, etc. However, does anyone know if there is an option to purchase the equipment from CVS? Thanks in advance!

What happens to unused PTO ?

by mass email? call from HR? 1:1 with the Manager?

Did everyone receive the email that they’re rescheduling the Helping with Heart workshops? Not many details but I think we all know why. Just curious if everyone received that email, or if we can deduce that it’s just the individuals who are getting... — read more 

Well , every team meeting experience that Ive read here and including what I have been told during a team meeting .It seems every leader is saying that they dont know anythinf as of yet but most likely it wont affect their team. So imo everything... — read more 

At this point has anyone received direct communication that they have been laid off?

I know everyone is either curious and or upset about these layoffs. Spreading rumors or making assumptions is making it worse for yourself and everybody else. Why don't we just stick to stating confirmed layoffs and everything else as we know is out... — read more 

Most people I've heard from have said this is round 1 of up to 3. They really can't say numbers for the remaining layoffs because this first round of laying off 5k will likely mean natural attrition which is exactly what Senior Leadership wants. The... — read more 

I do recall previous cuts to both already earlier this year. Omnicare also hasn't been able to find a buyer https://accessmarketintell.com/2022/11/03/cvs-health-actively-seeking-buyer-for-omnicare/

A Ld Director, Data Science just sent out an email that it her last day at CVS . Not sure if she is the part of the layoffs or an usual switch.

I've been saying this for years but CVS needs to unionize. Some stores already unionized and I actually called and spoke with a unionized SM and they had more hours for lower sales budgets and several more benefits. One that I liked the best was that... — read more 

Inbound reps are being let go due to most calls going overseas next year These reps are MAPD. These are customer facing jobs CVS lying. They are going to take away American jobs and hand them to overseas reps. That is some bs

No word yet for our department said they will let us know this week still nothing. They need to let us know so we can start looking for another job these bills aren’t getting cheaper

Is it the consensus that Aug 14th is the day the actual layoffs will happen? Does anyone know for sure?

I was following Karen org chart since monday . In the last 4 days number got down by 800 . So far IT has minimal cut which is 9 . Will update thread tomorrow

I wonder if it’s their goal to end remote for everyone like before Covid. If that’s the case then I’m out. I don’t live near an office

So I was manually counting around in Teams Org chart and found out we have 200 contractors in A&bc itself. My personal team has 10 contractors and my boss told me we need to get rid of them by January and they cost us 2.5 million a year. I hope the... — read more 

As the title says. CVS has 300k employees but the vast majority are immune to these layoffs. How many are getting targeted?

Did anyone on the PBM Data Science/ Analytics side hear anything ? Preferably from an Executive Director or higher? Leaders just say we have a high impact so hopefully we should be fine but nobody knows anything for sure.

They talk about laying off redundant and unnecessary positions, RD's and DVP's seem like a good place to cut.

I started just over 3 months ago. Are new hires more at risk? Is there a salary threshold for their decision making? Ie if you are under $X salary they don’t bother, for example.

The fact is, we are the ones who will suffer because of our leadership's mistakes, while they will pass mostly unscathed. If things continue like this, the future doesn’t look bright for this company.

Please go to the HR hub and search. It’s there. Per CVS policy severance will be paid in accordance with existing payroll schedules. Severance will be based on job grade level and the number of years you’ve worked as well as your hourly or salaried... — read more

Anyone from Omnicare ? I haven’t heard a thing from any of the Omnicares in my area…

Have any of you had a team meeting with your supervisor? Nothing on my team and my supervisor has said nothing

I expect management to use the heart at work behaviors when they lay off 5k of us in the next week when quarterly earnings are good!! what a load of BS! as long as leadership gets millions in bonuses they don't care about the staff. Even if you... — read more 

Maybe someone has an idea about the criteria that will be used to determine who ends up on the layoff list?

You hire a Karen you get a Karen. I mean only a Karenwho clucks on a stage like a chicken, but has no sense do this to the employees. So cutting the employees supposedly saves $500 million,but gave out $795 million in divides last quarter. All they... — read more

Is there any news?

I know we're all thinking about the announced cuts, but something tells me we'll have to wait for quite a while before anything happens. I think the management announced the cuts so early to create a horrible work environment filled with stress that... — read more 

At PBM/ CVS Caremark, managers are asking Full-Time Telecommuters WHY and Resons to fill out an official form. Not a good sign.

I no longer see my mapping to my manager in teams . I donot report to any one in teams . HR and other org chart systems work fine . Not sure whats happening

going to vent here.. the layoffs announced as such brings out such competitiveness in each one of us “I’m so glad it’s not me” it was someone else or “I hope it’s that division that gets cut, not mine” In all seriousness though, in typical CVS play... — read more 

…if laid off? Acquisition explorations, dissolving business units, store closings?

Has anyone on the specialty side heard anything? I’m kind of nervous. My supervisor said they will let our team know as soon as they know anything but still nothing.
