Thread regarding CVS layoffs

The irony of Aetna possibly being gutted prior to split and being sold as a book of business to Humana or Oscar or another insurance company should not be lost here.

@bc yeah, and at the rate things are going, don’t be surprised to see Mark B (or Oscar Kushner) enter discussions……..

Mark B sold us out when he couldn’t get his 2010-2014 master plan to work by trying to get the Humana and other failed deals set up. CVS was a failed deal too as evidenced by this week’s news. But here is the thing….he’s actually innovating heavily at Oscar while the existing system heads for increasingly possible collapse scenarios. Legislative and regulatory change could really catapult what they really doing at Oscar into reality. What he is doing at Oscar is essentially Mark’s 2010 vision for Aetna but without the legacy baggage.

IMO we’re going to see some involvement there. Prediction…… the future post-split retail pharmacy puts FS and Rx employees on ICHRA plans like Hyvee grocery.

Directors with the company for 20 years who don't understand what a unique key is but get paid IT salaries.

Pony rides get expensive I guess.

My department had a VP that didn't even though how to set up a meeting in Outlook, not sure how some got their position.

@c0

In this economy? Lol. Reap what you sow. The NE was the last bubble to burst in 2008.

The foreclosure rate in FL is the bell weather for what's to come.

@bx too many of those titles. Our retired AVP is selling his CT home. On the market for $1 mill.

I wonder how some people sleep at night in their big McMansions on rolling foothills. Do you wonder how the people you let go to save yourselves are?

Or are you so scared to admit you should have never been an LD, ED, or VP to begin with.

Did you only think of yourselves?

At the town hall yesterday: "Nobody's job is changing, it will be the same tomorrow as it was yesterday." Bullsh!!t. The company isn't going to split into two all by itself. The amount of stress they put us through with all these ongoing changes, while telling us they need us to continue to work hard, stay focused on the customers, and constantly roll out new strategies to drive growth so the executives can get rich, is getting old real fast. Just when we thought the culture was improving a bit...

I agree. Bertolini sold us out and drove into the sunset will MILLIONS. He was the face of greed. People complain about layoffs. If you were around back then you witnessed a real bloodbath. Back when we had teams of FTE’s that actually worked their butts off. Even worse, they hired a third-party vendor to Perform the layoffs. It didn’t matter if you had a five star rating and worked 70 hours a week. My entire team was cut. Anyways, we are heading towards where we should have always been again. Take CVS out of the whole name.

What goes around comes around.
