There were food trucks at the Hartford office today. Another poly to make it seem like RTO is fun, and cool! Thanks, but no thanks.

How long will state and federal agencies allow this to continue. Time to make the penalties very severe. https://www.statnews.com/pharmalot/2024/07/23/cvs-caremark-pbm-illinois-medicines-rebates-ftc/

Biggest layoff seen coming in August. Many jobs shipped out of the US. Any news on this?

Today marks a full year since I joined CVS. I can tell you right now that this has been the absolute worst year of my career and I used to work at Walgreens. I honestly didn't think things could be worse anywhere else but I was so, so wrong. I'm... — read more

generally curious, is your group going in the 3 days? still seems really dead when I am in.

I’ve been hearing about people being let go one by one or in small groups, without any announcement or big talk. They are trying to minimize the upset and the erosion of morale by quietly laying off peeps? If that’s the reasoning, they are too late... — read more 

No one is going to mention the unhinged email that someone sent to half of Aetna at 1AM eastern time?

I know 5 people who I used to work with (in corporate) who have been silently let go in the last three months. Usually they are given several weeks notice. And no one ever talks about it (or at least I don’t hear about it). Has anyone else... — read more 

Remote Engineers all safe for 2024 , mid year bonus and promotions 6% each.

Anybody understand or know what the agenda is for this call Store Retail call on July 23rd? It's blocked off on all the regionals calendars. Not guessing we're going to like the news ... .

Shift left quality was used as a pretext to fire all quality engineers working under Digital Engineering during last year layoff. Will the current eruption of the Crowdstrike issue teach our management anything?

There is quite literally nothing that statistically proves RTO benefits employees or company performance in any way. Employees have been producing more and more while being remote. But a bunch of boomers in leadership who saw the idea in a Facebook... — read more 

And Q2 results will ofc not impact the decision to make layoffs. If a company is doing bad, mgmt will do layoffs to secure more money for themselves and shareholders. If a company is doing good, mgmt will do layoffs to secure even more money for... — read more

What special plans does Tilak have for Engineers?

I think they already have the lists ready. ppl making more money may be chopped first

The help desk, the fixx line, the service channel, etc. When stores have issues they call these departments. When employees have issues they call HR, ethics line, Advice and counsel, etc. None of these things have anything to do with the DL or RD... — read more

no layoffs, cashcow, its the best pharmacy and health care in the US. Be happy that you are working here, remote, 4 weeks PTO per annum, summer vacation, increments, bonus what more? Stock will pumpnow from 60 to 100.

I’m sure this comes as no surprise to those who work here. Sad if true and so unethical. surely it doesn’t line up to their “values”. Oh that’s right, they have no ethical values. ... — read more 

With the Town Hall scheduled for August 13, will they do layoffs before or after? Thoughts?

travel is cancelled for august, asked by manager to eliminate all non essential work related expense, big layoff is indeed coming. the next two weeks will really be the calm before the storm

I was interviewing for a promotion and was told the position has been put on hold because there is now a hiring freeze. Im still pretty new to CVS, how long have freezes last in the past? Also does this mean there are potential layoffs coming?

Next month....

stock is pumping, all safe for this year. Those non performers were already gone,

And the hits just keep on coming. Once again this is not surprising at all. Poor decisions by senior executives AND failure to see the Medicare issues ahead of them has once again led to the little guy getting sc--wed. Meanwhile all the kool-aid... — read more 

Was informed today by leadership that my organization has to cut budget by 40%. In other words, more layoffs are coming our way.

any news this week only remote engineers respond

https://www.healthcaredive.com/news/cms-no-surprises-first-audit-aetna-texas/721126/ Do you think CMS will audit us more this year? Makes me worried about leadership actions

People work hard and deserve to be compensated fairly. A district leader cutting people down, takes away all the incentive to work hard. Don’t they know that?

Thoughts? I’m in denial about layoffs. They possibly couldn’t do more cuts

shall i just lie down and do minimal work? or should i just work as usual so that i pretend nothing happens or should i work harder and work during weekends so that maybe i will be spared? what shall i do to spend the last three weeks?
