Cvs m6aking store manager job in lower volume stores less important. Guess rumors of 1 manager running two stores or shifts running the store is slowly coming to fruition

My guess is when this Aetna deal closes 100% our fearless leader Larry Merlo will be “retiring” 28 years with cvs and other 10 with thrifty d--g. He will be leaving on a high note and to make room for Aetna insurance people on the board. After all we... — read more

Mce is going to be replaced by Medallia in 2019. It’s a 1-10 rating and your going to have to call customers who rate you an 8 or Less. No more ohwti or in stock.

I guess nothing exciting is happening lately. Im sure that there will be some new things coming soon as the Aetna deal is expected to close in the next 3 months. There will most definitely be some changes that come along in a merger as huge as this.

Heard they are planning on getting rid of the entire group by the end of the year

At least cvs did one thing right! They are discontinuing curbside! What a joke of Program was that. Wonder how many millions of dollars we funneled into that system that were wasted!

How many like the new payroll accountability protocol. Just like LP. Level 1 if over 4 week’s and increases by a level each 4 week’s. Only fairness is that DL gets on accounability too when a store hits level 2. Great job we work for...

Can anyone confirm that they are making one manager run 2 stores? I’ve heard they are trying this in select districts.
