What % occurred today vs. tomorrow?
I know 10/1 was “the day”, but it feels like a lot of teams were notified one way or the other today. Any insights?
Why No Communication From KL?
It’s bizarre that the official announcement of close to 3,000 layoffs was just casually mentioned in an article on Heartbeat with no direct email communication from KL or any other executives regarding it.
Oct 2024 Layoffs
Does anyone know what departments are being targeted this time?
Exempt or non-exempt
Does anyone know if those already laid off are exempt or non-exempt employees? A lot have been saying only salary employees (so far) have heard and hourly will hear later in the week.
Layoff completed in A&BC
Per source
Glenview Capital Role
Glenview Capital was told that 2900 employees to be laid off. Most are at Aetna. Glenview is rarely involved in Activist activities. Glenview will get a board seat. The stock is up 3%. There is probably a spin off coming. KL may be toast.
Laid off today A&BC Team.
Got the dreaded position is being eliminated…..last day is in December.

Can anyone confirm this? March 2025: 4000 additional layoffs. August 2025: 3000 additional layoffs. October 2025: 2500 additional layoffs. This is already being planned. Make no mistake, if you are on the health plan side, you are already at great... — read more

Layoff Week
This is the week it’s going to happen. Stressing hard not because this place is great but the job market is bad, interest rates are still high and so many other companies are enforcing RTO or doing layoffs as well. Nobody seems to be hiring except... — read more
Stressing ahead of next week
Spending time looking at this forum instead of sleeping is not good for my mental health, but I can't help it. This will be a long night and it will be a very long week. I wish they'd get it over with on Monday so that we know where we stand and can... — read more

How to prepare?
I have never been laid off before but I would not be surprised if I get let go. What do I grab for my CV? I typically keep general notes of bigger projects. Anything else you would recommend?
Review Your Paycheck and PTO Balance
Review your paycheck for 09/30/2024. If you notice that your PTO balance has been paid out, it indicates that you have been selected for the layoff.
ceo of oak street still employed?
Let me get this straight, oak street was fined 60 million for illegal kick backs during the time mike p was running it. So he gets a pile of money, a cushy job with options after letting illegal activity happen at his company? The optics are awful... — read more
Rumors about next week
Are layoffs happening or not? There is more chatter about it than usual. Way to ruin Sunday, thinking about it and coming here to check if there’s any news.
CVS needs structural change
As someone pointed out on this board before. Wholesale layoffs solve none of the problems, they are barely a patch that lasts for a while. However, I don’t think leadership wants the company to prosper. They just want themselves to prosper for as... — read more
??? Resource reductions at Aetna architecture group
Want to know if anyone in VP or executive positions knows any workforce reduction in Aetna architecture dept.
CVS needs to clean house starting with Karen
Unpopular opinion but this company is crazy bloated with the biggest bloat being Karen, second biggest- the cheap, incompetent IT contractors and their worthless ex contractor IT managers. Third, rest of the incompetent coasters all over the company... — read more
Everyone is online right now
Several execs are showing online on Teams right now. Anyone think this means what it appears to mean? AVP in Aetna HR was also online today. If anything is coming, I pray that all of you are safe in the way that best suits your life and your needs!... — read more
Just WOW!! Strike authorization vote is a resounding YES!!
https://ufcw135.com/cvs-strike-autho-approved/ I hope CVS gets taken to the cleaners!
Karen is the real problem
I find it hilarious she declared herself the savior! Aetna past success was 100% due to mark bertolini, she was a glorified project manager.
Concerns About Upcoming Meeting
My director proposed discussing my career planning in our upcoming meeting. Soon after, I noticed she had deducted 100 hours from my PTO Bank. She then took a week-long vacation and is expected back in the office next week. I suspect she might be... — read more

Transformation 3.0
What’s everyone heating?
HR meeting today?
Did the HR meeting really happen today? Can other ppl confirm? We don’t want one rouge comment panicking people if it’s not true.
So many execs on “PTO/vacation”
I’m sure it’s entirely a coincidence that exec leaders are ALL of PTO right now… with essentially the same away message. I’m sure they totally aren’t in a secret meeting deciding our futures. Because this didn’t happen right before the last huge... — read more
Strike via Inebriation
I’m thinking we should all go to work or hop on the VPN on our illicit dr-gs or drinks of choice. The entire workforce. That’ll show em.
My goal is to leave CVS before the end of the year
Things have been going downhill for years so that seems like the only smart thing to do. I used to like my job and now I feel sick to my stomach every day when I have to head to work. I know no job is ideal and I can expect to have problems... — read more

Manager told us we are safe and has confirmed with VP too. Don’t believe any rumors on here
