Got railed on bonus this year. But don’t worry we gave our shareholders a record dividend…

68% & 2.75% merit. Last year was 4.75% and 100% w/ some stock.
others i've talked to are around that 2.7-3% and 60-70% bonus
Band 3 here, I recieved a 3.3% salary increase for 2025
89% bonus. 3.3% raise
Got an HR bump in pay to help move toward the center of the band, but even with that, the minimal bonus this year (compared to last year) ended up being a total compensation pay cut of over 10%. At least I still have a job. We'll see if that remains true after the widely expected layoffs next week.
Bonus monies at cigna are based (in part) on individual/team/department contribution tied to projects that positively influence cigna’s bottom-line and major strategic initiatives…
it was 95% across the board for conveying folks outside of folks that got nothing but no idea how they determined that. for CBP anyway- because conveying people weren't included in comp cycle they just determined stuff end of last year assuming we'd sell 1/1
for those on the CBP was it 95% across the board for everyone who recieved a bonus or did others get more (or less)?
It's never across the board. Organizations are funded at xx% (whatever ELT decides) for the year, and can divy it up however they fit. So even if the organization is funded at 85%, some people can get way more than 85%, but that means others will have to get way less than 85%. That's why they're considered based on performance.
Depends on how unscrupulous your leadership is. Ours JE'd our director and then low-balled all their team's bonus levels. My team and I had a super successful, highly productive year, and we're getting the lowest bonuses in our time with the company. Our division performed extremely well, and bonus should be funded at 110% but instead they're punishing us for those whose divisions flopped.
Yet another despicable call by leadership. Add it to the heap.
Cigna is a terrible place to work. Great to shareholders, treats employees abominably.
Zero stars. Cannot recommend.

Low band 4
4% raise
- 16 bonus
I'm fine with it.
The information was provided on the 4th, the managers need to notify employees by the 13th. There is no particular reason why some find out sooner than others, it's just a matter of scheduling meetings and allowing some room for those on PTO to notify before the payday. I have seen between 50-105%. It is nice when the managers can get it done this week and remove the suspense.
I got a 3.7% raise and 86% bonus. I’m ok with that
RE: A little confused. Isn't next week bonus & merit week?
The bonus is paid next week, but most managers receive the details this week and want to communicate details with their employees this week, possibly to explain why there was no or nominal bonus or merit increase.
I believe working toward pay equity within a team is also a factor. I was on a team as a Sr. Advisor and ended up taking an Advisor role on another team when my position was eliminated. They didn't reduce my salary, so I was well ahead of my peers on the new team. My increases were abysmal after that. One year I got 0% increase. It had nothing to do with my performance because my review was very good. It had everything to do with intra-team pay equity.
At least y'all know. Nothing communicated here.
1% raise and Between 105%-110% bonus, don't want to give too much detail but was basically told because I accepted a promotion in 2025 my merit suffered. I was exceeding expectations and a top performer.
Mine was disappointing compared to last year but it is far better than nothing. Most I have talked to in my area who would tell are at 50-70% on bonuses.
I'm glad I got something vs nothing.
I don’t doubt there is truth to the wide variation people are posting here, comes down to how valued we are as individuals and teams.
If they think we’re easily replaced and don’t really care at the end of the day if we feel valued or leave, then they’ll take part or all of our bonuses and give it to the ones they do want to keep happy on years like these.
That doesn't explain some people getting full bonus and others getting no bonus.
I think people forget comp is based on 2 factors. An individuals performance and also Cignas performance. Cigna missed in 4th quarter which lowered the merit and bonus pool from previous years.
"Why are people downvoting someone who did well?"
Maybe because they suggested it was performance based and that's not necessarily true. Not worth a downvote though. It's good to get information from as many people as possible.
Heard from several people not on a PIP who got zero bonus. It has to means something that some people are getting around 100% and others are getting nothing? Since RTO didn't get the results they wanted maybe this is the new strategy to encourage quitting or maybe they're already planning on letting those people go so why waste a bonus on them
PIP (Performance Improvement Plan), aka Disciplinary Action Process. For those that do not meet expectations or cited/probation for not following policy. Under the revised policy, people with PIP status can be laid off with no severance.
Pretty typical year for my team in Evernorth, including myself. B3 all got high 90-102% of bonus and B4 was 90-95%. Merit all came in 3-4% across a large team.
I got 4.2 merit and a salary adjustment on top of that. High band 4. Bonus was about 94% of target. Our department bonuses were funded at 80% so I think coming out with 94% of target isn’t too bad.
Why are people downvoting someone who did well?
I got well over 100% and the friends I've talked to got around the same. If you haven't had your comp conversation yet, don't let posts like this scare you!
This week comp statements came out and are being reviewed by managers with people with bonus paid out next week.

A little confused. Isn't next week bonus & merit week?
What department are you in @b7+1jnh4e2w9?
It depends on your performance as well, I am a top performer on my team and got 4.20% merit, 118% of target bonus and about 17k in stock.
What is PIP?
I heard of people getting 88% for the most part.
Some folks getting ZERO and they aren’t on PIPs.
How bad?
