I was wondering if any of you guys out there who work for CVS or any other pharmacies that recently got their hours cut back. I just received my new schedule and I am not even on the schedule at all for Feb. Fyi, I am a good employee but am a student that only works on the weekend. Without any work, I don't know how I am going to pay for stuff🙁.

The title of this thread should be, "every job on earth cutback because our country is in what is known as a 'Recession'."

Kaiser has massively cut back hours and there's been a hiring freeze for awhile now. 🙁

Just have to grin and bare it.

Shop around with other stores. If you're a good tech, you'd be surprised who needs the extra hand. Despite cutbacks, I've maintained my hours relatively well by working at 3-4 stores on top of my home store.

Good advice 👍. It is really important that you do what they mentioned. You have to work at least 1 day per 30 day period to be in the system. This is important because 1. This ensures you still have a job while at school, 2. Allows you to continue to keep your seniority in the company which will get you a lot of benefits when you graduate (3 weeks paid vacation instead of 2, a guaranteed job maybe, among other things).

Consider working on days other than weekends here and there just to work. Its not worth working 2 years, then being taken out of payroll and losing your 2 years seniority.

BTW, you have to work for CVS for ~5 years before you get 3 weeks of paid vacation instead of 2.

apply at your neighborhood local pharmacy and don't apply at chain pharmacies.

Thanks for all the responses. I am currently only a clerk🙁. So I can't do much. If I don't get any acceptance this year, I will get my tech license to have more opportunities. Thanks once again. I currently go to school all five days, so I don't have room, only weekends.

O haha. Well that's why. Request that you can come in at least a half shift a month. You shouldn't be gone for a month. Or use vacation...if you have any.
