No word yet for our department said they will let us know this week still nothing. They need to let us know so we can start looking for another job these bills aren’t getting cheaper

Is it the consensus that Aug 14th is the day the actual layoffs will happen? Does anyone know for sure?

I was following Karen org chart since monday . In the last 4 days number got down by 800 . So far IT has minimal cut which is 9 . Will update thread tomorrow

I wonder if it’s their goal to end remote for everyone like before Covid. If that’s the case then I’m out. I don’t live near an office

So I was manually counting around in Teams Org chart and found out we have 200 contractors in A&bc itself. My personal team has 10 contractors and my boss told me we need to get rid of them by January and they cost us 2.5 million a year. I hope the... — read more 

As the title says. CVS has 300k employees but the vast majority are immune to these layoffs. How many are getting targeted?

Did anyone on the PBM Data Science/ Analytics side hear anything ? Preferably from an Executive Director or higher? Leaders just say we have a high impact so hopefully we should be fine but nobody knows anything for sure.

They talk about laying off redundant and unnecessary positions, RD's and DVP's seem like a good place to cut.

I started just over 3 months ago. Are new hires more at risk? Is there a salary threshold for their decision making? Ie if you are under $X salary they don’t bother, for example.

The fact is, we are the ones who will suffer because of our leadership's mistakes, while they will pass mostly unscathed. If things continue like this, the future doesn’t look bright for this company.

Please go to the HR hub and search. It’s there. Per CVS policy severance will be paid in accordance with existing payroll schedules. Severance will be based on job grade level and the number of years you’ve worked as well as your hourly or salaried... — read more 

The root-cause indeed...

Anyone from Omnicare ? I haven’t heard a thing from any of the Omnicares in my area…

Have any of you had a team meeting with your supervisor? Nothing on my team and my supervisor has said nothing

I expect management to use the heart at work behaviors when they lay off 5k of us in the next week when quarterly earnings are good!! what a load of BS! as long as leadership gets millions in bonuses they don't care about the staff. Even if you... — read more 

Maybe someone has an idea about the criteria that will be used to determine who ends up on the layoff list?

You hire a Karen you get a Karen. I mean only a Karenwho clucks on a stage like a chicken, but has no sense do this to the employees. So cutting the employees supposedly saves $500 million,but gave out $795 million in divides last quarter. All they... — read more

Is there any news?

I know we're all thinking about the announced cuts, but something tells me we'll have to wait for quite a while before anything happens. I think the management announced the cuts so early to create a horrible work environment filled with stress that... — read more 

At PBM/ CVS Caremark, managers are asking Full-Time Telecommuters WHY and Resons to fill out an official form. Not a good sign.

I no longer see my mapping to my manager in teams . I donot report to any one in teams . HR and other org chart systems work fine . Not sure whats happening

going to vent here.. the layoffs announced as such brings out such competitiveness in each one of us “I’m so glad it’s not me” it was someone else or “I hope it’s that division that gets cut, not mine” In all seriousness though, in typical CVS play... — read more 

…if laid off? Acquisition explorations, dissolving business units, store closings?

Has anyone on the specialty side heard anything? I’m kind of nervous. My supervisor said they will let our team know as soon as they know anything but still nothing.

We heard from our leader that other leaders they knew were invited to a training next on week on how to deal with the changes to thier affected teams. We do not know if it is in waves or what and they will do these each week.

could totally be paranoia but our UM caseloads are down significantly. Asked my coworkers if I was being illogical to think they could be siphoning them to run through automated systems to see how it would go without us. In theory our system should... — read more 

Did everyone receive the town hall outlook invite for 9/8. I am sure they did, and it’s a stretch, but if not I am wondering if that is an indicator.

I wonder if our own manager and department head will pick who is laid off

Anyone else mentally preparing to receive a particularly insensitive notification? I don't believe that they will have any more empathy towards the employees when informing them because they didn't have it before that either.

Could cutting big bonuses be an option for saving jobs here - that's what I'd like to ask our top dogs.

The president of Medicaid is departing...... formally just announced.

Going out on a limb and guessing that not all positions have been identified yet. It may not be too late to add pronouns to your Teams profile to indicate that you are on board with diversity initiatives and maybe give yourself a slightly better... — read more 

Has anyone heard anything about which areas of digital might get cut?

No WARN notices for my state…yet!

The management knows, your boss knows. They not saying anything yet. Some teams were told they are safe. why Not tell us first if we are getting laid off, then send that email saying we sadly had to lay off 5,000. Stupid I am interested whether... — read more
