As the title states, when's the call? These are the calls where KL's head gets put on the chopping block, she gets pi---d and starts firing her leadership team like BK! I've got some popcorn ready to go for this show.

Are we now at the stage where layoffs have become a weekly thing? Just when I think we're done, we hear about even more cuts. When will it be enough? Who does the leadership - if I can call them that - expect to do the actual work if they continue... — read more 

Our division VP and regional directors have failed in their roles as leaders to make a decision waiting until 3 o’clock 24 hours before a category five hurricane hits just so you can get that last-minute sale is disgraceful and dereliction of duty... — read more 

This place is basically put in startup mode by execs that come and go every ~2 years. The ICs get paid peanuts and nothing meaningful really gets produced because of flip flopping / short tenures. Rinse and repeat. So basically a bad startup.

Laying off all Aetna CVS employees. However they are hiring cognizant employees. Sorry

Leadership should try to achieve this "heart at work" behavior!

Any news about next week? Will there be more cuts?

It has been over four years since I last handed CVS money for anything. CVS isn't doing well. Although I'd like to take credit, the truth is more and more people have simply had it with CVS. Now the local 24 hour CVS isn't even 24 hour anymore... — read more 

IT culture is horrible in this company. How did it get so bad?

Ask yourself this: Do I trust this leadership? Do I see a good future for myself here? Once you answer them, start looking for a new job (since I'm certain not many will answer with a "yes" to either of them).

I am really confused about why some people seem to have strange empathy for the company by saying that every major US company does routine layoff and it is common for capitalism. I can understand a company spoken man will say that. CEO may try that... — read more 

Why are there like 23,000 open jobs ? Are these just all fake jobs ? Also wanted to get people's opinion. If someone who was laid off, should try to get another internal job or only look outside of CVS ?

Which basically means that it will always lag its peers on a technology level. If you earn 120k or so as senior IC they view as a cost that needs to be offshored asap. Which is ridiculous when these days you make 100k out of grad school.
