"FYI arbitration just ruled in favor of Rph and a SM on this issue! Major back pay coming there way! Anyone that feels you have unjustly been taken advantage of with hours can call advice and council to set up your meeting! The company encourages you... — read more
Anyone tried two step verification?
It sounds like an idea that could save some time, but the timing of roll out prior to Jan 2019 sounds foolish in my opinion. Interested to hear first hand experience.
Corporate positions being eliminated quietly
Just found out my colleague in corporate is getting let go. This person (don't want to say male/female) has 30 days to find a new job. I know CVS is a HUGE company and maybe this stuff happens every year 'quietly' so maybe the big layoffs only get... — read more
What will sm pay change lead to?
I've heard numerous times that the company is looking to go to 1 sm for 2 stores in the future. Is the sm salary change the start of this? If sms are not on the demand of the store then it would make sense. Any thoughts or insider info?
Increase when taking over higher volume store
I was told “CVS will no longer give store managers increases for taking over higher volume stores or cleaning up stores”. F**K YOU CVS.
CVS, bye
I quit on my own yesterday, wish you all the best

What are your thoughts about potential CVS Layoffs in 2019?

new shirts?
Has anyone else heard anything about the new shirts coming? I saw a think where they said they are redesigning them with new fabric, crew neck or 4 neck option, new color, and new graphic design.
I'm being paranoid but this is my conspiracy theory
CVS FS will become Target and these talent profiles are to see who to lay off to make room for Target managers to take over.
Self evaluation used to rank people
Our entire department had to assess ourselves, develop our individual development plans, and complete the mysuccess criteria with depth, including giving ourselves ratings on each area for our own performance which then our management gave us numeric... — read more

Front store operations just put up for sale. Inventory reduction phase is complete.
Demolishing the front store hours
I work in a very small cvs pharmacy. Store managers have came and gone. A few of them were the SM of my pharmacy and also the neighboring small town cvs. For the last two months we have not had any “store manager” and we do have somewhat of a front... — read more
Omnicare?
Does anyone know the status of how Omnicare is managing since the merge?
There is no pattern- different parts of the company are affected in different ways
On the corporate side there is a hiring freeze right now, I've seen it first hand. Unless you have a very critical position, it's not getting filled this year. We've been told to cease our interviewing process for the one role we have posted... — read more
Have there been layoffs this week or not?
People keep claiming there were layoffs this week, but we've heard absolutely nothing of it here. So what's going on?
Last year CVS gave WARN notices right around this time
Someone mentioned earlier about WARN notices so I looked it up and I see it's state specific on the requirements for reporting as best I can tell minimum requirements need to be met for it to show up for a given state. I also looked back last year... — read more

CVS can and should treat its employees better
If CVS wants to be at the forefront of the industry they should consider having enough employees to satisfy their customers. It’s also not great to tinker with the salaries of their employees. Nobody is in a good mood when they have to work 2 jobs to... — read more
More layoffs coming
So I don't have inside knowledge so I don't profess to have any special connections. I do know though with CVS putting in a travel freeze and freezing hiring, they did it much earlier than it is normally done each year which is near the end of... — read more
Salary managers pay
Seems like SM pay schedule is changing. Now we will get paid on the 15th and last business day of each month. Down from 26 paychecks to 24 per year. Why would they do this? This takes place in February 2019.
2019 FS Budget
Word going around in our district is that minimum hour stores will be cut 27 hours weekly in the new year.

Sorry guys. No class action can be taken

Pharmacist hours to Script Volume
How many Pharmcists hours are you given in your locations and what does your volume look like? We are at 2400/week and run on 82 rph hours. I don’t understand how we are expected to work at this pace day in and day out with no overlap and give great... — read more

Cvs m6aking store manager job in lower volume stores less important. Guess rumors of 1 manager running two stores or shifts running the store is slowly coming to fruition
Guessing
My guess is when this Aetna deal closes 100% our fearless leader Larry Merlo will be “retiring” 28 years with cvs and other 10 with thrifty d--g. He will be leaving on a high note and to make room for Aetna insurance people on the board. After all we... — read more

Any news?
Has anyone had their RLC cascade meeting yet? Wondering what this year has in store for us
Technology at CVS
Technology s---s at the store level. It's ancient. I remember using the exact systems we use when I started retail 20 years ago. Yeah you have Ironman's, but those have their own issues as well. The people at the top make too much money, stores need... — read more
Cut from the Top
