Thread regarding CVS layoffs

@e8 Exactly my experienced. I wasn’t surprised I was on the chopping block but surprised it happened. Normally there would be whispers. I was an individual that express my concerns about a Sr H1B but after learning this has been a on coming behavior for years then I figured there some leverage H1B had. It wasn’t just my team but other as well.

@e8 you nailed it. Nothing more to add.

As a senior engineer i am expected to watch 2 Netflix movies a day. Been working hard to sneak in 3...better get a good raise for my effort

Hopefully, the coworker resigns before the boss gets the satisfaction of firing them.

@ak That is what the corporate leadership and the unqualified leaders wants you to believe. There are state laws and the EEOC Regulations. Companies cannot terminate workers that easy.

Anyone received "Performance Rating of 2 or below" in the last review will be eliminated before the end of the year.

Engineering no work for years , no stories, no new features, just teams calls and fun

People need to at least name thr organization or give a hint.

Let people get out while they can.

Of course they would go that route to avoid paying severance. And, most of those who are impacted are probably hard workers but not part of the click. Underperforming because the majority of bosses are horrible and it is a toxic work environment. CVS is so dirty!!!

@OP: You need to report your boss to the Ethics Line because they need to keep their mouth shut.

Should be in IT. They never know what to do when you call in. Long wait times and too much escalation. The systems are terrible.

@a6
Do tell. Apparently where the money comes from is important.

You can be fired for no reason at all.
Just like you can quit.

Yawn

@OP Do you know what state this was?

It's not about moving the mouse. It's about how well you get along with the MAFIA Groups in the department.

Your days of moving the mouse and pretending to work are over.

I haven’t heard anything. Are you in accounting/finance?
