If we all believe that a "bad second quarter" will be the reality. Then the question is will Management need to (once again) provide new guidance for the balance of the year and potentially next off a lower base calling into question the investment hypothesis for CVS Health. Then the Board can ask the question "does she have a handle on the business?"
Layoffs at CVS are not new. It is an unimaginative approach to the lack of discipline utilized to post and fill open roles. (and for that matter capital utilization) They go on hiring binges every year and then, come November do a layoff.
