It’s sad when American business men sell out their own country to allegedly save a dime. Clients aren’t buying the “blended rate” bullcr-p. You get what you pay for. If someone offshore is only billing $10/ hour vs $100/hour for onshore ... — read more 

Anyone know when the next round is for sure? And any areas or roles targeted? I heard some speculation around May 8 but I don't have any contacts who could verify this.

Are any teams tracking work quality in term of defects, efficiency, independence for Highmark vs Thryve? Might be one of the good questions to ask to our leaders. Benefit coding work is split between Highmark and Thryve and I see more work going... — read more 

Since the WARN Act applies to layoffs affecting more than 500 employees within a 90-day period, and the last major RIF occurred on January 30, May 8 seems like the most likely next date. Best of luck to everyone.

Seeing many comments that Highmark not doing so well financially, was there even an AEIP (Incentive) bonus distributed this year (normally in March), or was that scrapped???

Is anyone hearing the scope of layoffs across enGen today? It sounds like this may be the biggest yet by the number of people who are dropping.

How have we already had three rounds of layoffs, and it’s only March? Is this the new normal? A layoff every month until there’s nobody left? This is beyond ridiculous - it’s outright cruel. This cr-ppy leadership doesn’t care about anything or... — read more 

Any idea when the cuts will start up again? I know we're in the clear for now, but let’s be real, this break isn’t gonna last forever. Just wondering how long we’ve got.

Is this the end of it for a while? We could all use some breathing room.

You can only go so far with cuts alone. Unless they actually take action on the business side—and I mean really take action—we’ll reach a point where cuts will outweigh any efforts to turn the ship around.

I know I should feel relieved since I still have a job, but that doesn’t seem like a positive anymore. My workload has grown heavier after every round of layoffs, and I have no doubt it will happen again now that we’ve lost more people. I’m already... — read more 

When is the next wave of layoffs?

Does anybody else see a problem with this?

Sudden layoff- access cut when my termination call ended. Had no idea layoffs were even coming.

Are customer service reps on the layoff list?

New lay offs

I am perplexed that there are no updates on HMHS Layoffs on this board. Just look it up online, there is info posted and people are afraid to speak up.

Can we finally relax now? I spent the entire weekend stressing, unsure whether more cuts were coming this week. Now that Monday has passed with no new layoffs, can we confidently say we're done? And by done, I mean for now. I know layoffs are never... — read more 

Hi, with constant layoffs, how do you realistically see the future of Highmark and enGen. Are we really not making $$ and outlook is bleak? Shouldn't the management team the first to go if they can't improve our profits or future outlook? I am with... — read more 

Highmark just laid off another 200 plus people today. Me included. People across all departments. People who were set to retire this year. They don't care. Good thing the CEO made 9 million last year tho.

Does anyone know if are you able to leave Highmark and work for say Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida or work for Optum? I searched within the intranet and not able to see anything. I would ask HR, but I'm not sure if that is a wise thing to do.

Anyone else laid off today? Was a big surprise for me!

Heard layoffs happening across engen?

I worked in I.T. for many years and finally got out on my terms thanks to remote working picking up. It is a badly managed company and one should only work there as a very last resort. The stress level is very high due to the constant layoffs. If... — read more 

Well, it finally happened—I got laid off. After enduring a mind-numbingly frustrating IT environment and living in fear of layoffs for years, which typically occur on Thursdays, my turn came. Honestly, I'm relieved to be let go from this stupid... — read more 

HPO mtg is today. Wondering what he has to say. And if he’ll be transparent about Thryve coming in & taking our jobs. And this isn’t hearsay. It’s a fact! Several people were REPLACED with Thryve staff. SAD what this company has come to. Yet, they... — read more 

We just got word that Don Gray's entire EDO organization in Highmark Health is moving to enGen. Sounds like a precursor to being laid off. Anyone heard anything more on this?

I’m hearing all kinds of stories, but nothing that I can confirm.

Just received a "Mutual Arbitration Agreement" to be signed as a "condition of employment" smells like more layoffs are on the way! Anybody else get one? Google says they are "fairly common" but everyone I've asked outside this company has not with... — read more 

Just had a last minute meeting with our team lead, more layoffs around the company today. Seems at least 15-20 around three departments in enGen, another 30-50 in multiple other departments in the org at large. They’re really drilling down to reduce... — read more 

This is too stressful, both watching colleagues being let go and expecting you are next.

The majority of my department was let go recently. Prior to that, when Highmark took over HealthNow, a lot of my team used up their 3 weeks of PTO within the first few months and five people quit without notice. These were hard working, loyal people... — read more 

Has anyone heard of more layoffs today? I heard of one NYer (long-time IT) - and where there's smoke, there's fire. Let's hear it!

How worried should I be about tomorrow and the rest of the week?

I need to be out of here yesterday. This is not the same company I joined a decade ago.

I know the big round is long over, but I keep hearing of a few people here and there being let go all the time. Are we now in the new stage of constant but small cuts? If we are, that's much scarier to me than regular layoff rounds. At least those... — read more 

With the recent failure of Engen/HMHS reorganization, it has been said that we are overbudget and did not meet goals/expectations. They also want to save even more money next year. This company is a sinking ship, only a matter of time. Time to... — read more
