Anyone have any idea what percentage of stores will be going to RX hours? Are we talking about 20-30% of stores getting reduced hours or something bigger like 60-70%? We have something like 9,900 stores. So are we talking about something like... — read more
This isn't a horrible idea
Managers and pharmacists asked not to really discuss it openly quiet yet. Not every store will be affected. Some only RX, some both, some coming off 24 hours. No layoffs if that’s what you are worried about. Corporate will make this public mid... — read more
People need to remember this
It is always easier to find a job when you already have one. Always. Everybody at CVS should be searching for something better right now...
Operating hours changes...
Obviously there has been ALOT of chatter over the past couple of days about the potential operating hours changes coming in January. I’d love to ask my SM, but am afraid to open a can of worms if I do, since I haven’t heard anything yet. When might... — read more
People Cvs has over 100 billion in DEBT (face) this is the begging
Where do you think they are going to cut to reduce debt—- change operation hours in stores under 30,000 per week — reduce head count - DL - Rl , it is just the start !
CVS cutting front store
Why is that?
What is the CVS (corporate) severance policy?
I believe the Aetna severance policy will be expiring soon. Assuming we will be merged into the CVS policy. What does CVS corporate offer for severance? Is there a salary continuation period followed by severance weeks? Outplacement services?
Confirmed
Drastic hour cuts. Matching RX.
Those days are gone
They know they can't run a store and do what they are asking others to do. The days of Department Managers, Key Carriers, Merchandisers, Porters, Assistant Managers, Acting Assistant Managers, Manager Trainees, Head Cashiers, Cashiers, Cosmeticians... — read more
Is this hours change info legit?
People are talking about it in the replies like it's a done deal, but there was no official word on it from what I can tell. How do we know it's really happening? What am I missing?
The drones are coming!
It’s the beginning of the end guys! Soon all your pr-scrip-ions and otc products will be delivered via drones. Cvs doesn’t need the fs anymore!

Just got a text that we need to be on a top secret regional conference call? Only SM and PM no other colleagues. Anyone else have this? Know what it’s about?
Manager bonus
Store manager here... I might be accepting a job with another company in January 2020. How do I remain eligible to collect the Manager bonus paid out (Mid March is when I got last year’s)? Can I step down to a part time supervisor or cashier and work... — read more
Reality is CVS is a Health Care / Insurance provider
Stores are now out of favor and a drag for the company. So what! Realize that leadership is interested in one thing. Shareholder Returns! .....Cut, cut, cut expenses. Where? The stores! It's easy! Executives know that the companies future is NOT... — read more
2020 FS Budgets
Has anyone heard what we are looking at for FS budgets in 2020. Will it be a drastic (20+ hour) cut like last year or just a few hours cut? Obviously there will be some sort of cut, as I think we would all have to quit out of shock if they didn’t cut... — read more

Why things have gotten so bad...
How many of our executives actually know how to run a store? Give one of our execs a quarterly stock report and they can explain it to you in detail. They know about business, finance and how to run a board meeting. But how many actually could... — read more
Anyone else change colors?
I went from a green store to a red store. And have no idea why. Did this happen to anyone else?
Layoffs
Layoffs coming in December monthly pharmacist. Confirmed today
Why the change in sale signs from Saturday to Sunday?
Interesting question... Anyone know the real reason? "Is that the real reason they changed signing the ad to Sunday morning.. because we will close early with rx sat night?" by Anonymous | Post ID: @11gyBdeY-ezdo
Health Hub Managers

Nobody should ever work for free
If you have to work over your 45 hours just to get everything done, then corporate is seriously in the wrong! Like this company doesn’t take enough of our lives from us, and now we work for free?? Disgraceful that corporate allows this to go on! I... — read more
Negative feelings run rampant
profit and sales are ok. Making a bunch of money. Could be so much better. Changes needed in leadership.
To Whom It May Concern!
CVS Health is an Insurance Company PERIOD!!!!! Your FS Retail is DEAD!
Demand drop
Anyone else’s demand drop drastically? I lost 30 hours of the week starting 10/20. This is getting ridiculous
Carepass is making customer count go down in stores.
Customers don't want to be bother by sales pitch, donations, text messaging, emails etc.... They are going somewhere else.
More hour cuts
Was told today that starting in January many stores in my district, including mine, will be matching the RX hours throughout the week and on weekends. So, at a minimum we will be losing 20 more hours a week. That's in addition to the 23 we lost this... — read more

Scarepass
It’s not carepass... it’s scarepass. Managers are making it sound like we have to scare customers into joining otherwise our jobs are at stake. Thoughts?
ACO
Who has ACO’s and how many hours did they lose from demand?
New rumors
I can’t believe there aren’t more rumors posted here after the big meetings. Usually people post all kinds of stuff that they heard about at the meetings on what’s coming and what’s changing. This year seems lame.
Performance Counseling on Carepass
Has any other district been harassed about not meeting your goals on carepass? In our district, you have to be on a call everyday if you don’t meet your goals. During today’s call we were told that if we are on the call 2 weeks in a row... — read more
Write up for carepass
What do you think of my manager writing me up for not getting any sign ups? The other people at my store are getting enough so we hit our daily target. Do I have to sell these to keep my job? All he talks about is carepass.
Total Rewards 2020?
Your thoughts? Is this a good thing or not?
