Goodbye Georgia Medicaid
Georgia Medicaid just announced their intent to award the new Medicaid contracts. Amerigroup is not on the list of selected companies. Does anyone know if GBD layoffs to date factored in the loss of Georgia Medicaid? I knew we had bid to get a... — read more
Unemployed - just in time for the holidays
My last day was 11/15, and I didn't realize how depressing being unemployed during the Holidays would be. Thanksgiving was awkward and sad, I am not looking forward to Christmas... it will just be absolutely depressing. I feel for anyone who's last... — read more
VP’s and Executives need to cut their bonuses
Elevance is spiraling out of control…cut the leadership bonuses!!! Until mid February now there’s months of negotiations for the worker bees bonuses and merit raises…it’s ridiculous. The Pennie’s given to colleagues below VP level is shameful!!!!!... — read more
Carelon is HORRIBLE
This place is a zoo!!!!! Nobody knows what the heck they are doing…just chasing their tails. VP of Staff upward should be let go! Never seen such a rat race! If you think it’s rough now it’s going to get worse and worse in 2025.
I hope I’ll be among the laid off in January
I’ve been looking for another job. I just can’t stand it here anymore. Dealing with claims is ki-ling me. How can mgmt sleep at night?
Any Rif's today 12/02
I am out of the office this week. Wondering if anyone knows if Rif's occurred today. Thanks
My Choice PTO
I’m hearing so many rumors. Is this all associates? I’m hearing they are keeping it on the down low so our hours go to sick bank.
LayOff’s and offshoring
I hope trump administration comes in and gives higher ups a kick on there but to stop offshoring and bring back jobs to US.
I’m so ashamed to work for Elevance
I don’t believe we help or support our members. We run meeting to meeting using Elevance slang that nobody understands as our software is severely outdated. A dash of AI that will fix it wait there is no budget…ok so Gail throws a crumb and says... — read more
Claim Issue - On Hold for 45 Minutes
I finally found out what it is like to be a member due to a claim not being paid and was on hold for 45 minutes. What a joke.
Are we safe until January?
If January layoffs are confirmed, does that mean that at least December will be safe and we can celebrate holidays with family in peace? Well, not exactly in peace since we know what's coming, but I think you know what I mean.
Badge in policy for associates
Are associates required to badge in 3 or 4 times per month?
Webtime clock
Thoughts on the email sent to all associates on Friday ? Another way of the company trying to micro manage . It is terrible here in CSBD
CARELON IS A CESSPOOL
Overly frustrated with what it takes to get anything accomplished. Your hands are tied with resources as departments are running thin and colleagues are doing 3 or 4 persons workload. The platforms are horrendous! Barely raises and Elevance now that... — read more
January 2025 Lay offs confirmed.
Managers are already being asked to reduce their teams and draft the names. Be prepared.
Gail inducted?
How the heck was Gail inducted the Junior Achievement of Central Indiana Business? That was a TERRIBLE decision.
Payer Relations, Account Managers, and Lawyers for Providers
If you read this which I know some hospital Executives do. I would stand FIRM on any negotiations with Elevance. We are NOT equipped to handle claims, we have lagging systems, large amounts of errors due to antiquated technology/platforms. The MONEY... — read more
People need to stop quitting without finding a job first
More people are getting fed up and quitting on the spot and while I certainly understand the sentiment (I am no fan of Elevance, trust me), every single one is putting themselves in a really bad spot. The job market su-ks right now, plain and simple... — read more

Carelon is horrible
Working in Carelon is probably the worst decision of my career. Ask a simple question and it takes multiple calls and meetings to get it answered. It is a rat wheel…nobody knows what’s coming or going and from the VP of Staff upwards are yes/no men... — read more
Town Halls
Bunch of town halls in the last couple of weeks. Anyone hearing anything different? I, ____, entitled and out of touch executive, have been fed the same four points on: 1. Growth, 2. Improving our member experience, 3. Transforming with the power... — read more
All is forgiven
In all it’s corporate wisdom, the company gave out corporate logo branded cookies emblazoned with “Thank You”, in the Elevance branded colors no less, at our PulsePoint today. It’s a reminder that spending on stuff like this is thought of as making... — read more
Elevance is a Monster
There is nothing good happening with this company…nothing but deceit, corruption, and lies. I hope from the VP of Staffs and above they the are ones effected and not the workers but that nots going to be reality. I hope everyone jumps ship and... — read more
This is not shocking
The entire leadership is corrupt and another round of layoff in January

Impact awards
Don't forget to give these out to valued colleagues during such difficult times! It makes such a difference in their day and it's an easy task. Let's do what we can to keep some positivity going!
Transformation goons
Webber and Jeff are a classic tall + short villain combo. Straight out of central casting. Like Wario and Waluigi or the grunts from the Pirates movies
Elevance is a Dumpster Fire
I wouldn’t expect much in a raise…we are not getting new business quickly enough with our dated technology and antiquated platforms. No one still understands our name change. Added that the board to keep “Executive” talent will keep most of the... — read more
I dodged the bullet this time, and feel almost sorry about it

Retirement options?
Of course the HR guy who RIFd me knew nothing about retirement... does anyone know how retirement vs SUB works?
Help me understand
I don’t understand why there is always lying and secrecy around RIFs. Why not say it’s possible? If they are eliminating our jobs what does it hurt for us to start looking and voluntarily give it up? We were told multiple time by two VPs out... — read more
Do I have to sign RIF papers right away?
Do I have to sign RIF papers right away or do I have time to consult with an attorney first?
No Confidence vote for Gail
I think the board needs to take a no confidence vote on Gail. I've seen some lean times during my >20 years, but this is the worst i've seen Rif's, and they seem to be getting bigger and more frequent. How much money did she spend on remodeling... — read more
Use Anthems money! Then hit the road
