But it does... I have friends both "sides" and worked for both companies before they were merged and after. Both had their pros and cons. Leaders have failed us on both sides, and this was 100% a failed merger/acquisition. CVS vs Aetna is what... — read more 

Dear Leadership. We know you scheduled a town hall meeting. Please don’t patronize us and come with some pep talk. You can shove it where the sun doesn’t shine. We get to do more work with less people and without many of the SME’s. Save it. — read more 

What’s up with these new assessments from Rejuvi? Sounds like not all managers and directors are getting them. Suspicious that low scores may be used for next round of layoffs.

To my colleagues who were let go. I hope you get to read this. I was deeply sorry to hear about the layoffs, and my heart goes out to each of you who were affected. Some of the individuals I knew personally were truly invaluable, and the news has... — read more 

The recent layoffs were not just layoffs. CVS is outsourcing a lot of these jobs. The news media needs to pick up on that. It isn’t enough that the government is paying for immigrants on our dime. CVS is helping by outsourcing jobs.

Talent, dedication and experience have again been targeted. This has been happening every single time for the past couple of years. Please, treat the company the way it treats you. Come in, do the bare minimum, collect your paycheck and try to have... — read more 

It’s very obvious from recent posts that Aetna isn’t too fond of CVS employees. So let me set the record straight: CVS never wanted Aetna either, or at least not its employees. We have never integrated well. You don’t play well in the sand, and your... — read more 

So sorry to those impacted. Wishing you all the best of luck in your new roles! Are we allowed to (hopefully) land a job Prior to the actual separation date? Or can we start looking right after last day of work? When does equipment have to be... — read more 

I read on another post that a lot of people were placed on PIPs a few months ago. Were they laid off, or are they "safe" until CVS kicks them out to stiff them of severance?

This company is on offshoring mania. Offshore contractors are safe. FTEs are being kicked out the door at an alarming rate. Do not listen to the leaders, they are devious, lie throughout processes and will gut you out in the end.

Be a mediocre employee who never works more than 40 hours because, in the end, the harder you work and try to climb the corporate ladder, the more you are putting a target on your back. Here at CVS, we do not value hard work and loyalty. In fact, it... — read more 

Everyone who wasn’t laid off is feeling mentally spent. Losing long-time colleagues is devastating and emotionally taxing, and we’re somehow supposed to continue on like nothing has happened. As a person, I just can’t. Management is walking on thin... — read more 

$2 billion dollars is a lot of money. Maybe we should go back to selling cigarettes and might as well sell weed while we are at it. Dispensaries are making a ki-ling these days. At least then our employees can keep their jobs.

Here’s an updated version of your comment, including the mention of the previous outsourcing attempt: It’s disheartening to see that CVS didn’t just lay people off—they outsourced jobs. Historically, outsourcing has often been shown to cost more in... — read more 

Got an 30 minute notice invite from a VP for a all team meeting this afternoon with the VP and someone with HR. Said “all activity is complete” for my team, but “we have lots of work to do”. Go figure.

it is a outdated tool, clearly it doesn't matter. so why should we spend time on it? it costs employees production time as well as managers.

I was in the middle of a refinancing. And this happened to me just yesterday, so what will my employment verification status come up when the lender verifies

It is very clear that many of the smart people that provided great value but came from Aetna are getting impacted. These people are supposedly in corporate/shared service roles. Yet a lot of the weak "CVS royalty" gets to stay and continue their... — read more 

Don’t be fooled. This is far from over. There will be 4,000 more layoffs in March, 2025 and 5,000 more in October, 2025.

They have meetings coming up . Is there another restructure coming?

Do they pay for unutilized PTO

I am sorry that you guys have to go through this cr-p. Curious if there were any layoff's from Plano or Richardson locations?

I just received a “Business update” meeting invite from my manager. It was sent to all 10 of my colleagues. Could this be to tell us we are laid off?

Just hired by Aetna a few months ago and don't understand what is going on here by reading all posts related to layoff....Does the layout only happens to Aetna people or CVS people as well? what is the relationship between Aetna, Corp, A&BC, PSS... — read more 

We know the numbers, but we have no clue who on which day and where can actually be affected. Do we know at least if the dept or team was already through the wringer that they can be sure it’s over? High target number just cause so much anxiety and... — read more 

Ali K just sent out a meeting invite for this Friday likely to say layoffs are done for now in our department. They did this last year as well.

With the magnitude of these layoffs, each department should be made aware if they will be affected or not. We shouldn't have to wait each day to see if we're part of a mass layoff as often as these are occurring. Not to mention, if we didn't read... — read more 

Any update on personnel changes in active health, hdms, accordant, transform diabetes etc?

For those leaving, smile and dance to better prospects. You left behind, a sinking ship. Others hit the iceberg, not you. One of the planners of the layoffs is an Executive Director. He had his California license revoked for unwarranted distribution... — read more 

My heart goes out to those who were let go and needed a job. Which is the vast majority of us. I hope everyone lands on their feet fast.

It's good to know that this is not flying under the radar. Not that it will do or mean anything, but at least people know what's going on. When my last company had layoffs I was affected and I remember being so pi---d off that all I found online... — read more

Any layoffs from PBM?

Curious, how long did the Managers, Directors, EVP VP knew about the layoffs?

Why are there so many open positions when they are laying off people

I don't know what to make of this, what for a 20k difference you're laying off someone who is worth 2 employees and doing amazing work? There will be noticeable impact from firing those folks. Something in this process is very broken. I'm not worried... — read more 

Any contractors impacted as part of these layoffs? Weird how they let go their employees but pay the contractors who were hired through their VP's shady side business?

All the 2900 layoffs of this round are executed, can i assume that i got spared of this round or more to come Any input appreciated
