Yet more layoffs announced at Hartford-based insurer

HARTFORD, CT – Once again, a Hartford-based insurance company is announcing several layoffs for staff associated with a local operation.

CVS Health, the corporate operator of Hartford-based Aetna, sent notice on January 17 to the state Department of Labor and the City of Hartford that several layoffs were assigned to Aetna’s 151 Farmington Ave. location.

According to the announcement, 13 employees are targeted for dismissal between 8 and 22. March.

Like previous layoffs up to the end of last year, many of the 13 workers are telecommuters who report to the Hartford office and are not necessarily stationed there.

A total of nine of the 13 targeted for pink ties live out of state.

This latest announcement comes after CVS announced the layoffs of 416 employees who reported to Hartford in October, another 42 workers in November and 164 employees in December.

The latter layoffs were announced just days before Christmas.
