The opportunities that come from the CVS-Aetna merger
Found this interview with Aetna’s CDO to be a good read. Even though I was originally pretty skeptic about the Aetna acquisition, and in some sense I still am, I gotta admit that there are a lot of opportunities that are emerging from it, especially... — read more

2019 MSH changes
Congrats lady and gents, worked optimization is finally gone! Budgets 40% MPC 25% (MCP for FS) Service 25% CR 10% With that being said, you miss budget and you are done for.
This is how we got around the layoff warnings
Hours have been reduced in Rx and Fs. Employees can not get full 40 hours as usual. They are being told to call sister depts to pick up hours or patch in their hours some how , like working call outs at a moments notice. This is a win for stores due... — read more

Aetna reporting good Q3 earnings before just before the closing of the sale to CVS
Aetna showed good earnings an significant growth on the Q3 earnings report. I have my doubts about this acquisition and they will not change but in any case, I think that it’s important that we are bringing a healthy company under our umbrella, which... — read more

"FYI arbitration just ruled in favor of Rph and a SM on this issue! Major back pay coming there way! Anyone that feels you have unjustly been taken advantage of with hours can call advice and council to set up your meeting! The company encourages you... — read more
Anyone tried two step verification?
It sounds like an idea that could save some time, but the timing of roll out prior to Jan 2019 sounds foolish in my opinion. Interested to hear first hand experience.
Corporate positions being eliminated quietly
Just found out my colleague in corporate is getting let go. This person (don't want to say male/female) has 30 days to find a new job. I know CVS is a HUGE company and maybe this stuff happens every year 'quietly' so maybe the big layoffs only get... — read more
What will sm pay change lead to?
I've heard numerous times that the company is looking to go to 1 sm for 2 stores in the future. Is the sm salary change the start of this? If sms are not on the demand of the store then it would make sense. Any thoughts or insider info?
Increase when taking over higher volume store
I was told “CVS will no longer give store managers increases for taking over higher volume stores or cleaning up stores”. F**K YOU CVS.
CVS, bye
I quit on my own yesterday, wish you all the best

new shirts?
Has anyone else heard anything about the new shirts coming? I saw a think where they said they are redesigning them with new fabric, crew neck or 4 neck option, new color, and new graphic design.
I'm being paranoid but this is my conspiracy theory
CVS FS will become Target and these talent profiles are to see who to lay off to make room for Target managers to take over.
Self evaluation used to rank people

Demolishing the front store hours
I work in a very small cvs pharmacy. Store managers have came and gone. A few of them were the SM of my pharmacy and also the neighboring small town cvs. For the last two months we have not had any “store manager” and we do have somewhat of a front... — read more

On the corporate side there is a hiring freeze right now, I've seen it first hand. Unless you have a very critical position, it's not getting filled this year. We've been told to cease our interviewing process for the one role we have posted... — read more
Have there been layoffs this week or not?
People keep claiming there were layoffs this week, but we've heard absolutely nothing of it here. So what's going on?
Last year CVS gave WARN notices right around this time
Someone mentioned earlier about WARN notices so I looked it up and I see it's state specific on the requirements for reporting as best I can tell minimum requirements need to be met for it to show up for a given state. I also looked back last year... — read more

CVS can and should treat its employees better
If CVS wants to be at the forefront of the industry they should consider having enough employees to satisfy their customers. It’s also not great to tinker with the salaries of their employees. Nobody is in a good mood when they have to work 2 jobs to... — read more

Salary managers pay
Seems like SM pay schedule is changing. Now we will get paid on the 15th and last business day of each month. Down from 26 paychecks to 24 per year. Why would they do this? This takes place in February 2019.
2019 FS Budget
Word going around in our district is that minimum hour stores will be cut 27 hours weekly in the new year.
