Is everyone still drinking the kool-aid or are you beginning to see what is happening. There's a structural breakdown going on, pharmacists, dls, regionals walking away with no replacements in sight. Store level and up. Managers in my area working with three colleagues total, every day open to close. No one in the hiring pools to backfill positions across the region.

It does work both ways to the guy who said that it didn’t. If upper management is too inept to do basic reasoning we are all screwed.
Here I’ll help you understand……Corporate keeps our HOO so low that when you add hours RANDOMLY there aren’t employees to work them because if we had more employees than what we need 99% of the time the extra employees wouldn’t get any hours until we had 30 hours added for cosmetic resets or what you have it…Upper management gets paid very well and I would venture to say they wouldn’t take a job working anywhere from 5 to 30 hours a week just depending on how many hours our overlords allow us to have.

Would you like more ice for your Kool aid. CVS loves sheep like you.
You can’t complain about not having enough payroll and then when we give it to you, you don’t use it. Doesn’t work both ways. “We don’t have enough hours.” Then “we don’t have any people to use the hours.”
Pat I’m not quite sure if I can solve the puzzle can I buy a vowel. Can I buy an O!!!!!!

Cvs wheel of misfortune.
I have fond memories of mentioning the dirty 7 letter P word to our RSM a month after ACO install and got a 20 minute lecture about ROI.
I’m new as well and am appalled at what I’m experiencing. Been in retail for a long time and this by far the worst. I’m literally by myself in a 25000 square ft building for hours. Customers are tipping me out of concern haha. So weird that this is acceptable. Pay more and they will come.
I’m a newer employee and am shocked by the standards this company has. Stores are filthy and management could care less. I won’t even use the break room or restroom it’s so disgusting. And I see district people come in and not even mention it. Embarrassing
I saw this coming years ago! Corporate for YEARS turned a blind eye to all the problems at the store level. And now that things have finally reached a boiling point, (and boiled over) now all of the sudden CVS is scrambling to save the ship before it sinks. Lets face it... CVS saw the iceberg years ago and ignored it just like the titanic.
Add payroll and they will come.
Karen cancel all the meaningless conference calls and get everyone back to the basics. Fire anyone in corporate office who even thinks of coming up with another imitative. Fill the shelves, greet and thank customers, straighten the store at night and go home. It’s an easy business we don’t need all the reports and metrics this isn’t NASA. How and I forgot the most important thing needed that dirty 7 letter word that we shouldn’t use give the stores “ PAYROLL “
In one Midwest market, over 50+ Rph and 20+ sms all out. Three tendured DLs had enough. Stores can’t stay open. It is the beginning of the end.
Customers have been complaining for years with understaffing in the stores, and nothing has been done about it.
