Layoffs are a reality in many industries, including the government sector. Change is inevitable. Take this time to cherish the good memories and the wonderful people you’ve met. The key is to learn from every experience, refine your skills, and get ready for the next chapter. Move forward and don’t dwell on the past.

Tell me you work in HR without telling me you work in HR
Cherish?!!, cherish what? LOL!!
Just stop.
Thank you Tanisha. These are good words of advice once you've gotten over the shock of your world being turned upside down and shake off the dust. It's a shame that the CEO doesn't recognize and/or acknowledge those that have been impacted. Most of us are in this field to help others. We take on the "heart at work" mentality and look forward to opportunities and loyalty that should go both ways. I've watched as friends from Omnicare and Aetna have been thrown away like a disposable tissues. Even if a company falls on hard times, or goes under, it doesn't have to go down the way CVS handles it. Keep your head up, know your self-worth, and move on to better things. This was not wasted time but an experience that will help you in your future. Your coworkers and your customers appreciate you! My heart goes out to everyone who was affected. Be strong and carry on!
