Below poster: YES, this is true, coming from someone that was affected last year!
People need to stop with the “not on WARN”… didn’t yall learn anything from last year?
You get notified you will be laid off in X days. And to get the benefits of severance you are required to be compliant with the severance terms for the duration of X days. The X days is longer than the WARN requirement of notification so the company tells you before you learn from a WARN notice. The WARN notices are then filed to be compliant with the state after the people getting laid off are all told about their upcoming fate.
to the post below, if you do not want to stress out and hear fear mongering, just do not visit the forum, the forum is about layoff and layoff by its own nature is full of rumors that may turn out true or false.
"The workforce reduction process is inherently secretive and plagued with rumors. Companies release little or no details while planning such resource actions" quote from the forum
There is nothing much anyone can do other than being prepared
Customer Facing jobs replaced overseas and A.i.
I really feel unless Karen is fired this dumpster fire only gets worse.
Humana and United Health try to make profit by offering products at decent prices and reliable service and listening to customer feedback to adjust expectations for steady, reasonable growth.
We all know CVS would sacrifice any frontline worker’s livelihood to balance their books in a heartbeat.
I used to answer the colleague survey “would you recommend CVS as a great place to work “ by telling them absolutely not because of their regular annual layoffs.
So yes, similar industry but no, not similar situations . If you doubt it, look at each stock chart for the past two years. Even shareholders don’t believe in this leadership anymore.
i guess the op is looking at all those posts recently and then draw the conclusion that layoff is coming in 3 weeks (early august), i do not know if that is true but that is indeed the conclusion i draw just by looking at all these posts.
I find this quite surprising, i just peeked the layoff page for humana/ united health group which should share the same problem as CVS has, there were some speculations but neither has so many posts of prediction regarding layoff like what we did here.
I guess that is because they did not have that "senior remote engineer"
3 weeks? Who/what is your source?
As is engineering side remote and no work. I work 2 hours a day. In my team one engineer was let go due to budget issues, it's ok.
Nothing on Illinois WARN site for CVS.
what is your source that the layoffs are confirmed. please advise.
I guess it depends on your own morals and what your job is. I've lost dozens of people over the last few years in my department and I now do the work of at least three people. I know my time is coming soon. But I also know that I'm servicing people who, through no fault of theirs, have their medications filled through us. As long as I am here I am here to service those people so they don't have any additional stress in their lives. I am not going to work myself to death but I am not going to slack either. Remember we have jobs for a reason - because others need our service or products. Yes, we work for a paycheck - but we have jobs because we need what each other provides that we can't do for ourselves. Would you want your meds delayed (or your mother's/ /fathers/sisters, etc)because some slacker employee is upset? Would you want to have to deal with messed up billing while you're lying in a hospital bed because of some slacker employee? Remember - what you do comes back to you sometime down the road. We have to care about each other even though our company may not care about us.
Whomever it is has already been chosen. I would just function as normal and hope you’re not affected.
