The problem with CVS is also the problem with corporate America today, the modern CEO.

CEO's back in the day, would have meetings with their senior underlings. At those meetings there would be pushback and honest discussions over the CEO's ideas and the state of the company. The CEO liked that, because they had their fingers on the pulse of their company, and wanted to know what's working and what's wrong.

Today's modern CEO, (like Karen) surround themselves with ONLY kool-aid drinking corporate yes people. People who don't challenge things or offer any pushback, they just say "great idea boss" to everything they say. That's a good reason why things are so bad right now.

Can someone please summarize the key points of the email without using the exact text?

I'd like to know why some people believe Karen is such a great ceo? Can anybody give tangible evidence how she's made this company better? Her crazy email seemed to suggest she's done nothing at aetna for years...what does she really do all day?

Sadly this culture of don't challenge or question anything and just be a "yes" man or woman is rampant at CVS from top to bottom. Case in point, try disagreeing with your DL and see how that goes. It's no wonder things have gotten in such bad shape. And as the ship continues to take on water all they still want is "yes sir!"

Well yes, no one can question Karen Ly--h in the least, that’s known fact. She really lives up to her first name.

Exactly...ceos sought to understand the problem and then ask their team to fix the issues. Nowadays it's shoot first ask questions later which is chaotic at best and damaging at worst.

I honestly believe the recent firings were because of exactly that...people challenged her and she didn't like it. It's a matter of time before she's fired.
