Today’s layoffs have left me feeling like I’m part of a sinking ship. The people who were let go are not just colleagues—they’re individuals who gave their all to the company, bringing invaluable knowledge, experience, and dedication. The abrupt loss of their expertise will have a lasting impact, and it’s disheartening to see how little empathy was shown during this process. It feels as though the company’s focus has shifted away from its people, and it’s hard to ignore the growing sense of uncertainty about the future.

This company is cooked. Executive directors are useless and just make things harder for the hard working employees. Fire them and let the people who work to the bone have a chance at fixing this mess.
This is not the end. There are 4,000 more coming in March, 2025 and 5,000 in October, 2025. Not sure how anyone can possibly take on more work.
For all the people that did not like my response of the 2 options you have (1 - leave or 2 - do the job you are paid to do), please tell me about the other options I must not be aware of. Please explain your angry response as i genuinely don’t understand.
It absolutely is a sinking ship, there are going to be more layoffs as an activist investor is now in the mix. Karen will likely leave and then the real fun starts with slashing to the bone.
It seems like Aetna/CVS has had layoffs quite often, at least since I joined the company several years ago and recently left this year. I thought the first layoffs (2020?) were sudden and really unexpected, I lost my director who was AMAZING. Then it happened again last year, and then this year. Clearly Aetna/CVS Health have stood the test of time so I don’t think it’s doomed to be over right away…but there really is no comprehensible reason why a company like this needs to have so many layoffs. Lots if companies have issues and experience change but not to this degree. It doesn’t make sense and I give them 2 more years before they finally split and go back to doing GOOD work.
Lol, no one should be giving their all. It's just a job. Live your life.
CVS doesn’t care about their employees. That’s why the union caught them running surveillance on employees. Don’t forget they told a pharmacist that was having a heart attack that she couldn’t go to the hospital until the District Manager found coverage. Yeah, she died in the store.
Invaluable knowledge? This must be a parody post.

I hope you stub your toes. All of them. All at once.
Same. I started to see what’s out there. I understand that a job is a job and nobody owes us anything, but sheesh, the way this is all happening is the icing on the cake for me. My colleagues feel the same.
You have 2 choices. 1 leave or 2 stay and do the job you are getting paid to do. Harsh? No, it’s reality.
