Thread regarding CVS layoffs

Toxic Culture is here to stay

Everyone, once you get out and land at another company, you will realize how bad it really is/was at CVS.

Especially if you are an IT employee. We have had it bad working for these toxic clowns.

In my 10 years we had, Gold, Roshan, Tilak... we have had it very bad, and it will never be good.
Yeah... let's hire the guy who cut budgets at MGM which ultimately led to one of the largest security breaches ever.

All we ever get for leaders is: Self-serving, co--y, friend hiring, backstabbing, faction forming, power drunk, and too chicken sh*t to ask for money to fix IT.

For your health... get laid off and find a new job, you will happier than ever.

@2rfi+1sRJL5kD I see this too. There is a huge outsourcing takeover working its way to the very bottom, and processes that are working fine under domestic leadership are being transferred to outsourced bodyshops that really can't handle it. Unseen financial loss from everything working shoddily, the website, compliance, the echoes of this incompetence are everywhere and the CEOs solution was to hire a premium outsourcer for IT. They'll never learn

Few IT leaders are openly corrupt. They run their contracting shops and place their contractors through prime vendors. Clearly goes against conflict of interest policies. This practice has been rampant in AZ office. maybe elsewhere too. HR did nothing. These corrupt leaders got promoted further. Senior leadership condones or turns a blind eye towards such behavior. New leaders running the org come from an old school master-slave management mentality. large population Digital engineers are on H1 visas and will put up with any kind abuse. So they have no incentive to treat people fairly. Last 2 employee surveys were a mere sham. They were positioned to identify anyone who gave negative feedback.

I’m in IT and after they ended practicing sAFE it has turned into some sort of crazy environment where you are expected to work all day, deploy every evening, monitor production, fix lower environment issues and be on call 24/7

Unfortunately toxic culture is rampant all across CVS, no matter what part of the company you work in.

Current IT Mgmt can't get their act together. Not to mention they've had to bring back managers that were previously laid off.

I was not in IT, worked in national accounts. We saw a lot of the same issues. I worked my a-s off and was still laid off.

Apparently I did not kiss the right a-s or bend to having my pronouns in my signature line. My bad, I was raised in a time period where personal preferences or politics were not discussed at work.

Am I bitter. Yes, a little. Because let's be honest, in today's work environment, you will probably not find an equivalent position. I did not, but have embraced working for the same income with a whole lot less stress. That is definitely an upside.

Take care of yourselves. AND do not take it personally. This company is poorly run from the top down.
