I was interviewing for a promotion and was told the position has been put on hold because there is now a hiring freeze. Im still pretty new to CVS, how long have freezes last in the past? Also does this mean there are potential layoffs coming?

Next month....

It should be clear to everyone that cvs is in serious trouble. Amazon will eat our lunch and we cannot stop the inevitable.
