I've heard of different lies we tell the customer just to sell this program..... Some even came from the DL's own mouth.. They don't care what dishonest tactics we use "Just get the numbers" !!! Scare-pass or Care-gate. What ones have you heard... — read more
The S**T has hit the fan today
as the District Leaders are receiving the long awaited scheduled hours from Corporate, the burden has come to rest. I spoke to my District Leader today, and he stated, our store would drop from 152 to 140, and I have 4 FT employees with a large... — read more
Trouble Hiring
Anyone else having trouble hiring cashiers? It's like the location is either just too far for them or they never return your call back. What is going on?!?! Is this next generation really that lazy that they don't even want to work. This is getting... — read more
Week 7
Was told today that the new hours for 2020 will go into affect week 7 instead of week 3. Week one mySchedule says I get 231, usually it says 203. I’ll wait for that to get corrected. I’m also a dynamic store for 2020. True demand finally? I do about... — read more
2020 hours are out!!
How did we all do with our 2020 hours budgets??
No new posts?
Kinda quiet here lately.
CEO brags about colleague engagement
https://apple.news/Aq8OwomA0RtymiOep1tCP3Q The comments regarding engagement are around 7 minute and 40 second mark. He is either delusional, drink too much of the Kool-Aid, or the mastermind of a mass of brainwashing
RX hours and hours are being cut?
I been told we are moving to RX hours and hours are being cut. Strange thing that only my store moving to RX hours but we are not the smallest store in our district but we will be after the store hours are cut. I am waiting to see. You never truly... — read more
2020 Vision
Any Info on what’s to come for 2020? Layoffs, scorecard, payroll budgets, realignments, position changes/consolidations???
Pharmacist hours budgets for next year
Anybody hearing dramatic cuts? Which will result in RPH layoffs?
Store manager bonus?
So Walgreens has completely eliminated the SM bonus, and now store managers are leaving Walgreens left and right. No bonus = no incentive to stay. Might cvs follow suit and do the same thing?
Question to All
How is an SM expected to assist a very high volume Pharmacy, when there are only a total of (4) F/S employees, and therefore, they work in pairs, every other day?
Stores are starting to look horrific!
Seriously though. Been to multiple locations in the past couple of days. Stores are not stocked well and look like they haven’t been faced in months. Cvs is just falling apart. Only a matter of time
CARE PASS
I haven't offered to sell a single care pass membership since CVS announced the newest hours cut. Anyone who does is a fool. "We're going to cut your pay and maybe force you to quit. In the meantime, make more profit for us by selling this c-ap." ... — read more
Unionize!!
We have to unionize! CVS has increased wages because they knew they would bring in auto check out to replace 2 employees per auto checkout. CVS increases wages of technicians, knowing in advance that they would change the system adding more... — read more
CVS stores and need for revenue
CVS is continuing to make tons of Profit and will for many years ahead. CVS stock is undervalued! Customer counts decline. Why? Service and weak promotions/ high prices ( laser focus on GM% ) . Corporate needs a merchant in RI. Hire from Target or... — read more
Got the budget for 2020!
My store is gaining 35 hrs a week next year! I’m in shock.
Why does the Pharmacy get special holiday hours?
Forgive me if this has been asked before, but WHY does the RX get nice cushy hours on Thanksgiving and Christmas, while the Front Store get nothing but normal regular business hours? Last I checked we ALL work for the same company and we ALL should... — read more
New Mandates Today
we just got news on the Aetna side of some mandates starting 1/1/20. Personally these are an insult - when will CVS realize that Aetna is not a RETAIL OPERATION. They know nothing about our business up there in RI. This is pathetic. its bad enough... — read more
Corp layoffs today?
Anyone know areas affected?
Hours hours hours!
Cut everywhere!! Abandon ship!!!
New CVS Program
GA area. Our store is starting a new CVS program- we are handing funeral planning guides. When our customers ask why, we tell them simply that we never know when we will make a mistake that could be fatal. So we feel you should be prepared. Customers... — read more
CVS Layoffs 2020
What's your prediction as it relates to the possiblity of CVS Layoffs 2020? Any news or rumors?
Can’t handle the truth
Why yall deleting all my posts? I guess you guys can’t handle the truth!
What a true leader does...
A true leader fights for their team! A true leader stands up for their team! A true leader defends their team! A boss throws their team under the bus, whereas a leader would never do that. A boss says “I” and a leader says “we”. A boss barks out... — read more
Rph union - work conditions
there is a major movement nationwide for a pharmacist union being enforced. The work conditions are not possible. Patients health is at danger. No Time for bathroom breaks No time to eat, constant budget cuts make work conditions impossible. This has... — read more
Holidays and time off?
So this has irked me for some time now. I saw on MyLife about holidays, and it mentioned how getting time off on holidays is good for your well being and your overall health. It states that it’s good to have time off to be with your family, and to... — read more
LP Audit Change
A while back, the question on the lp audit, “is the store manager working 2 nights a week?” was taken off. Our DL had LP put the question back on the Audit. Has this happened in any other district? We also had to sign papers that if we didn’t work... — read more
Pharmacists and Future
What i am about to say, maybe harsh and it is just a thought. I am throwing this out to open up conversation and get others opinion. I didn’t like what happened, but I think some responsibility should lie within our profession. I think we should all... — read more
HEALTHcare company managed by GED’s LOL
This unlicensed DL, and other higher ranking positions Being occupied by people that have absolutely 0 knowledge of being a pharmacist or the work that goes into it. This is beyond ridiculous that a person who is not a pharmacist can hold you... — read more
Truck in 24 hours
Does anyone know if this rule still applies? I feel like it’s pretty much downright impossible to get this done now. Takes us about 48 to fully finish.
Does anything think it’s ironic...
that Walgreens the store that had tons of FS payroll and really invested in their stores is now falling apart while CVS which has essentially cut stores to below minimum staff and done the bare minimum (if even that) in updating is doing so... — read more
We are all doomed!!
North Carolina store here. Just been told by DL that we are going to be downgraded from Store Manager position to team leader and by end of next year we will all be hourly. Its time to head for the nearest exit
Hours Changes, CVS is handing business to Walgreens
Here in Indiana, nearly all of our hours are going to RX. Honestly, it is really going to hurt CVS's brand, the front store is a convenient store. WE now have banker's hours, people are just going to go to Walgreens instead.
Carepass??? Why??.
Why are they constantly b–ching about Carepass. Flu shots. Now it's simple dose. My god!! How much more can we do with no help?? District leaders said regional said write them up. If I do there wont be anyone left. This company has gone to... — read more

New red shirts?
Saw a post on reddit about cvs getting new red shirts for employees. And they even had pics. Nice looking polo shirts. Anyone know anything? Is there truth to this? Ironically someone also said the supposed new shirts look awfully similar to... — read more
Moral??
What moral? At an all time low , not a question. Lets see anyone defend that? Big problems get bigger when moral drops as low as it is now. Lets see the RL’s and enablers of the cvs destruction chime in and defend it.
Look forward to a great week next week
It’s saturday morning and I get a call from the RD. What is going on with payroll? Within 30 seconds, I realize that we have lost control of our company to people who come from failing companies like Sears and Macy’s! The message was loud and clear... — read more
