Town Hall

More propaganda with little data and zero courageous leadership.

Reorg News

Has anyone received any reorg news yet this week?

What does future look like

I keep hearing we will be product based instead of project based. I wish I knew what that meant in the practical sense. No PMs no BAs no QA. What does that look like

WARN Notices

With the WARN notices, are they letting the employees know that they are being laid-off or will they just find out closer to that time? Ex. PA doesn't have job titles listed.

Corporate Bonus Schedule

Hello, I apologize if this seems insensitive to ask in the midst of layoffs. However, the writing does appear to be on the wall. I am making a plan. Can someone from the corporate level please tell me when annual bonuses are paid out and if they are... — read more 

There are many available jobs

The only problem is they all su-k. Every single one of them. When somebody tells you the job market is great, they're either just scanning and not reading postings or lying. Unless you're looking to half your pay and double your work at the same... — read more 

Retail severance

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but are people in retail eligible for severances? I'm assuming that hourly employees are not, but what about full-timers? This is the first major layoff for me since I joined CVS and I'm trying to figure out... — read more

I'm having trouble focusing on my job search

I've never been laid off before and I didn't expect it would affect me the way it did. Most of the time I'm just putting all of my energy into not falling apart. Is this normal? How is everybody else handling this? I thought I was stronger than this... — read more

Laid off and find new job before 10/21

Do we need to let CVS know we landed a new job if we do so before 10/21? All equipment being returned on the 31st and Login IDs terminated. Makes no sense at all. People who are laid of deserve all compensation. Why are we being punished for finding... — read more

I think as laid off and my manager told me I'd be offered help with placement assistance in looking for other jobs. Does anyone know where I'd go to receive this help? The only information I received in the mail was a piece of paper reiterating what... — read more 

Layoffs are rough

I've been laid off 3 times in the last 3 years from different companies. It's a very uneasy feeling of not knowing what or where you will be working and you are going to provide for your family. Take good care of yourself, eat healthy, go walking and... — read more

Suing company before signing severance

I’m debating suing CVS instead of signing the severance agreement. I was a remote worker and believe I was targeted because of this. The rest of my team was in office and I was the only person laid off in the team. I believe remote workers were... — read more 

Business changes since layoff planning

Not an expert, but my understanding is planning a layoff of 5000 people would take a long time and we've gotten news of significant PBM business hits in the last 3-6 months. Do you think the decision makers knew about those at the time, or has... — read more

Does anyone know where to find the separation date?

Severance question

Can you lose severance if you find a new job within weeks of being laid off?

Outsource the executive leadership team to India

Thoughts? They couldn't possibly do any worse than what we have now: losing multi billion dollar PBM contracts, overpaying for acquisitions, and lighting money on fire between contractor/vendor abuse and longstanding redundancies.

Any updates ??

So the warm notices on 10/21 would be 60 days notice from last Monday in which most states require except NJ 90 days required hence NOV date but … it goes through 12/31 so that leads me to believe they are not done. Does everyone have a town hall on... — read more
