It’s time for a 2024 New Years wrap-up! These were a blip on our 24 hr news cycle, and then subsequently buried. Here is all the legal trouble my employer had that they don’t want you to know.
Hi Ana! I just heard you on the Thom Hartmann radio program here in the Twin cities and wanted to thank you for what you are doing! I’ve been living a medical nightmare for 2 decades and in a couple months I will be forced to switch to Medicare at age 60, due to my disability. I’m very scared, but since I listen to Thom, I at least know not to fall for the Medicare advantage scam. Best wishes and be well!
Thank you so much, Valerie! I am trying. It’s scary talking about this too, believe me. 💜 But like I said, I was inspired to do SOMETHING with my position. You don’t get to hear from us in our own words, usually it’s in articles because we’re terrified of retaliation.
I wish you the absolute best. It’s sad because it wasn’t this way. I had family with debilitating chronic illnesses in the 80s-90s and never saw a bill. It’s horrible
I worked for CVS in Rhode Island from September 2021 through November 2022, all through my pregnancy in Rhode Island. I witnessed everything you mentioned. The customers who are frustrated with the pharmacy treat the store front workers like shit also. They scream at us over 1$ coupons. They are racist. One store manager, in Providence went on a racist and xenophobic rant in front of me and several employees. I reported him to that ethics line. When covid peaked I was the ONLY front store employee who routinely disinfected my register and surrounding areas. After the racist incident, I switched stores. During that hiring process I stated that having a partition and wearing masks were extremely important to me because I was pregnant and had already had a miscarriage when I got Covid. I was chuckled at and told that I would not be a good fit for that store. All violations were reported to ethics lines and state covid workplace hotlines.
It’s fucking awful. They treat Aetna employees like they do at Amazon. Being chained to a desk 8 hours a day for fear of losing money and being written up is vile. I have so many health issues now, and I only did it for a year and a half. And they LOVE making excuses. “But what if everyone went at the same time? What if people abuse it? What if, what if, what if..”
I don’t give a fuck. Myself and my coworkers are fucking people. Not robots. And then they do all this “Heart at Work!” horseshit about how they “care so much”
I hope the job market isn’t fucked in a few months so I can get the fuck out of here (Or my substack takes off so I never have to work for someone else ever again.

I wish you luck in your job search.🙏🏽
Thank you! I honestly am not really looking right now because I’m just so tired. Hopefully writing here will work out.
