Prepare for more turbulence ahead
Some people seem to be under the mistaken assumption that a) layoffs are done or b) even if it's not done, they're safe. You'd think that after everything that has happened, everybody would know by now that there are no such things at CVS as being... — read more

CVS is completely stuck with Omnicare
No company in their right mind would buy that mess with the debt load and all the problems. I just don't see how CVS can continue taking these huge losses every year. I still think they may close it down at some point, but maybe that's not... — read more

Nice to Know Humana Cronies Have Job Security …
Brian K. (Aetna leader du jour) nonstop busy bringing in his leadership from Humana. It’s like he doesn’t even consider other sources for people and doesn’t care who sees it. Glad to be gone and hate that good talent paid the price for this. — read more
