I know several folks who would have been happy to take the package and leave. They are still here and while I know it's not over yet, I won't be surprised if neither of them is affected. It's a pity that some who desperately need their jobs will lose... — read more
Ex-employees rollover your vanguard account ASAP
CVS had a glitch in their system where they overmatched I think on final payouts. As part of their “cost saving” initiative they are clawing this money back + investment gains with zero notice. It may not be much, but do you really want CVS taking... — read more

It’s bizarre that the official announcement of close to 3,000 layoffs was just casually mentioned in an article on Heartbeat with no direct email communication from KL or any other executives regarding it.

This is the week it’s going to happen. Stressing hard not because this place is great but the job market is bad, interest rates are still high and so many other companies are enforcing RTO or doing layoffs as well. Nobody seems to be hiring except... — read more

Rumors about next week
Are layoffs happening or not? There is more chatter about it than usual. Way to ruin Sunday, thinking about it and coming here to check if there’s any news.
CVS needs structural change
As someone pointed out on this board before. Wholesale layoffs solve none of the problems, they are barely a patch that lasts for a while. However, I don’t think leadership wants the company to prosper. They just want themselves to prosper for as... — read more
