Leadership doesn’t care if we’re satisfied or happy
They don’t care about the workforce at all. The high turnover rate isn’t an accident, it’s by design. All that matters to them is squeezing the maximum out of each of us for the minimum investment, and then cutting us loose as cheaply as possible... — read more
NYC contract
So rumor has it that UHC will take on the NYC contract. Is that true? Did we lose another contract? If so when will this all end? Why can’t upper management see that this is a sinking ship!
Visa application in Career Section
Anyone noticed the LCAs in the career section for visa applications? It’s funny that they are letting people go every month and in parallel they’re also putting up ads for visas. For those who are not aware, if you see name of immigration person in... — read more
Worked at Anthem for five years
I was laid off in 2019, and I see nothing has changed since then. Same old song - squeeze workers dry to enrich executives, cut as many as possible, and pretend that somehow it will save the company or improve the bottom line. It never does. My... — read more
Ag Secretary Suggests Replacing Migrant Farm Workers With 'People On Medicaid'
The Attorney General wants people on Medicaid to replace migrant farm Workers. When they run out of migrant farm workers, RIFed employees will be next!
Micromanagement is deeply demoralizing
I’ve been in this field for over 20 years. I know my job, and I do it well. But here, none of that matters. I’m constantly monitored, every break tracked, every click watched. Managers hover like I just started yesterday. It’s demoralizing. I’m... — read more
Job market
The job market is really difficult right now with companies laying off across all industries For those coming on this board and bragging about how little you do at work and wanting to get RIFed I hope they find you and give you your wish. You are... — read more
Pay Attention Leadership
This is for VPs and above. These are the folks actually making the decisions. Happy and valued employees equal successful businesses. You can put as much time and effort as you want into these surveys and improving the score. However, no one is... — read more
The chaos isn’t ours to fix
What’s the point of putting in the effort when every few months there’s a new reorg and someone’s getting laid off? You learn the systems, build a workflow, then bo-m - team’s gone, leadership flips, priorities change. Feels like no one up top cares... — read more
Still struggling after layoff
I was laid off last month after 15 years. It almost felt like going through a divorce. I had a few interviews since then and I was actually asked why I only worked one place. Is that where we're at? Is loyalty seen as a flaw now? How do people even... — read more
OBBB is coming for you
Say goodbye to some of you co-workers. OBBB passed and that means less money. The lists are being made as we speak, and it just might be you. Karma's a bi--h.
I don’t care when the next layoffs happen
For me personally? The sooner, the better. Just end this misery already.
Merit Increases Below the National Average
With the national average for merit increases being 3.2- 3.5%, the employees here are underpaid. This was once justifiable when there was work from home, benefits, and discounts on health insurance. However, with return to work now for people leaders... — read more
Bbb passes what does it mean for us?
Our jobs? Anyone?
Don’t you dare go above and beyond at Elevance
I learned the hard way what a mistake that is. I busted my a-s, took on extra work, and for what? They promoted someone who barely does anything - right in front of me. It was a slap in the face. This place doesn’t reward effort, it punishes it. Do... — read more
This company is boring
Can't they get caught with their hand in the cookie jar, so we have some good stuff to complain about.
Knowing the date doesn't help much
It really doesn’t matter, we know the company has been doing rolling layoffs for years. Some hit big in certain areas or wipe out whole teams, some are smattering in random departments, others are due to losses of large contracts. It doesn’t matter... — read more
The current "Big (your chosen adjective here ) Bill" probably won't help
If the bill passes tonight without major changes, hospitals and other medical facilities across the country will suffer financially and this financial pain will be shared with health insirance companies. Even if Anthem were to change its philosoohy... — read more
Anyone from EH Sales and Marketing recently riffed?
Humana has a management level full time remote position posted. https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/4252939484/?refId=xjmtL8iET7%2ByW0BwtbI4qg%3D%3D&trackingId=xjmtL8iET7%2ByW0BwtbI4qg%3D%3D AVP Marketing & Sales Technology - It has a good pay... — read more
If the rumors about a full RTO mandate are true
just keep in mind that it’s not about collaboration, efficiency, or improved performance. It’s also not about oversight. Remote employees have been working just as hard as everyone else, and tracking their results hasn’t been any more difficult. This... — read more
Things will not improve
Things have been getting worse before they get worse for years. Complaining about it will help for a few minutes but it will not fix a broken system. Either find some joy in the work itself, or quietly build exit skills. Loyalty to a company that... — read more
RTO Full time end of 2025?
Cannot confirm accuracy. I read on another site RTO full time by the end of the year.
Working in healthcare can be soul-ki-ling
I feel horrible every time I’m stuck trying to secure decent care for our clients and hit a wall. It really weighs on my conscience. I don’t know how the rest of you deal with it, but I’m having a hard time. Some colleagues say you just have to be... — read more
A 100 times this!
Why is it a big issue for these senior folks or HR execs to let people know ahead of time that a RIF is coming? It’s not that anyone on here know who or what department. It would be the most humane thing to do to have people prepare instead of living... — read more
Leaving us in limbo for weeks, sometimes months, is cruel
It’s not just inconsiderate, it’s downright disrespectful. And honestly, it feels deliberate. Keep people on edge, constantly anxious and uncertain, and they’re easier to control. Easier to make them grateful for the crumbs that fall off the table... — read more
Good Advice
I was laid off several months ago Looking back, I realized I had gotten too comfortable doing the same job at for years. Over time, I was pulled into so many unrelated projects that were far beyond the scope of my role. But in a strange way, that... — read more
No layoffs today
You can relax. At least for now.
Israel office
Do we still have an office in Israel? I remember working with a team there but haven’t heard anything lately and was wondering about them?
It’s 6/26
Any news today on RIFs?
Sheet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm glad I left this place. What a depressing place to work.
This note is to Executive Leaders at Elavance who I know read these posts
I feel A moral & ethical obligation to expressed my opinion regarding the employee satisfaction survey. Many employees me included respond positively mainly out of concern about confidentialities and potential backlash. This concern about job... — read more
GBD Town Hall
Was there a town hall today? I thought I saw an email for it but missed it. Any insight? Seems pretty quiet
National Account Town Hall insanity
They really think that this guy talking about taking 6 weeks off to climb Everest is inspiring?!?
RTO
How does PTO work with RTO. Can you take all your in office days to count against it? Thinking about how to get to retirement in a few months.
Unemployment Denials for Sub Payment
Does anyone know how to complete a claim to include your little "severance" with an unemployment claim? I have been denied every week now.
The cycle continues
Another bright-eyed college grad canned before he even got a chance to get comfortable and figure out his job properly. It's the same story every time: no training, unrealistic expectations, then shocked Pikachu face when they struggle. And they keep... — read more
