We may have not had much h Headcount reduction in the last 2 waves but as I look across the retail landscape the conclusion must be drawn. We are staff reducing without having to pay any severance. Each store is down 4-50 hours a week in budgeted... — read more
I’ve finally landed a decent offer
It took time and a lot of energy, but it finally paid off. It’s not an improvement in terms of pay, but it definitely is an improvement in terms of not being a job with CVS. Be persistent, there are jobs out there. Don’t get stuck on this sinking... — read more
The future looks bleak
