Managers were recently told NOT to endorse colleagues on Linked in. They can privately give a verbal recommendation. Some folks already did so some of us have great recommendations. But as of today they are not supposed to endorse.
October layoffs - Aetna
Our Director told us during our weekly meeting that more layoffs are coming in October but she stated that she doesn’t have any additional information. So this sounds to me that this will be a new wave of layoffs, and not the planned layoffs that... — read more
After two years, I can confidently say this
CVS is by far the worst environment I have ever worked in.
Payflex
Getting someone from he to answer this is ridiculous. How do we get our payflex balances once our term date takes effect?
Returning Work Cell
Has anyone received a QR code to return the work cell? I was only sent an email to return my monitors/laptop/keyboard/mouse and that process was a mess at UPS. There was a note to not return the cell in those QR codes when UPS scanned them. What do I... — read more
Badges
Anyone know what we are supposed to do with our badge? I received 8 QR codes (mostly for things I didn't have) but not one for a badge. Thanks
Unused PTO
Does anyone know what happens with unused PTO hours for a person who was laid off? Do we get paid for all accrued unused hours?
Ageism?
Every single person I know that’s been laid off is 50 years or older, or very close. All of them are tenured, high-performing people. Is there something here? Also, I cannot understand for the life of me why they didn’t attempt to get rid of low... — read more
Severeance Letter Form?
I haven't received a form to sign for the severance agreement. Is that sent out as a QR code to sign after the termination date?
The Indignant Karen
This chaos, deterioration and heavy-handed decision making is revealing just the lengths selfish and incompetent leaders will go when they internalize and personalize their positions to vindicate their past. Karen has been very vocal on her issues... — read more
Job placement vendor
This vendor CVS hired for us is a joke and they are doing barter business. They don't respond to emails, calls .... Anything. Another stab in the back from CVS
Another #Winning Idea from K
Announce “new responsibilities” for the leadership team. That’s the same tired generic BS that got us to this point in the first place.
The Layoffs Explained: WHY It Happened To You (And Me)
This post is meant to contextualize the layoffs & explain them to any laid of employees that might be blaming themselves & internalizing CVS Aetna dysfunction as their own personal failure somehow--it's not: you deserve far better than CVS Aetna. ... — read more
Senior software engineers aetna
whats next? work from home will it continue ? our burlington ma office is shutdown so I have been remote for 3 plus years.
NY POST AND CVS prescription errors
Things are pretty bad when even the New York Post is publishing articles about CVS pharmacy blunders and the utter lack of staffing and bad working conditions.
CVS has zero culture and zero leadership
This place is doomed.
Inquiring minds want to know….
Has anyone heard whether or not if people that are being laid off within the next few months, have been notified as of yet?
Aetna leadership?
The new guy they just named as president of Aetna probably isn’t going to make employees’ lives any more at ease with future layoffs. He’s a private equity and investment banking guy, now leading Aetna. So I’m guessing things are going to become... — read more
aetna senior software engineers

Returning equipment
A nightmare! Received QR codes not labeled and UPS needed to know what was what. Had to call IT support who said use any QR code for each box. Shane on CVS! Didn’t plan on spending an 1hour returning equipment.
Omnicare
Ahmed out as President? Hmmm
Bon Voyage
To the "leader" that lost their job because of rampant fiscal mismanagement that occurred in one of your departments for YEARS -- you should have listened. So glad someonedropped the wrong word in the right ear. Reports don't lie.
To those whose last day was today..
Checking in… y’all doing okay? I expected this place to blow up but there hasn’t been a single post since yesterday. I work out of 1 CVS and today when I was leaving I noticed there was a table set up with new badges neatly laid out. I can only... — read more
Feel like I got a lifeboat off the Titanic
I am tired. Glad to be off this merry go round, sinking ship, whatever you want to call it. Packed up equipment and ready for a new beginning. This layoff has destroyed my summer and made me miserable for weeks. Best wishes and prayers for all!
Vision/Dental
Anyone know if it's true CVS/Aetna is selling off the vision and dental portion? Lots of gossip that this is happening and I work in this dept
CVS job postings
LOT'S of new job postings for CVS for offshore
Town Hall
More propaganda with little data and zero courageous leadership.
Reorg News
Has anyone received any reorg news yet this week?
Which date is Severance based on…Service Date or Hire Date
An Aetna legacy employee will have a service date when they were hired by Aetna AND a hire date when they became a cvs employee. Which is used to determine severance Thanks!
What does future look like
I keep hearing we will be product based instead of project based. I wish I knew what that meant in the practical sense. No PMs no BAs no QA. What does that look like
Looking for a new job
I was not impacted this round but am afraid more layoffs are coming this year and maybe next year. I started applying and have gotten a couple of interviews with competitors. I want to stay positive but positivity does not pay the bills and I don’t... — read more
WARN Notices
With the WARN notices, are they letting the employees know that they are being laid-off or will they just find out closer to that time? Ex. PA doesn't have job titles listed.
Corporate Bonus Schedule
Hello, I apologize if this seems insensitive to ask in the midst of layoffs. However, the writing does appear to be on the wall. I am making a plan. Can someone from the corporate level please tell me when annual bonuses are paid out and if they are... — read more
There are many available jobs
The only problem is they all su-k. Every single one of them. When somebody tells you the job market is great, they're either just scanning and not reading postings or lying. Unless you're looking to half your pay and double your work at the same... — read more
