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

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?

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?

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.
