Honestly feeling like HCSC doesn’t care that they just acquired thousands of employees. No onboarding except recorded trainings and no opportunities to meet HCSC colleagues? I think they’re trying to get us to leave willingly or they’ve planned the worst onboarding experience of my life. I’ve never joined a company that’s felt this disorganized before.

Sit back and get paid and don’t worry about it. There is nothing you can do. This place is stuck in the 1990s in everything they do, including how they dress. Just cash the checks and wait until they severance you.
Another week, another meeting. It’s been made loud and clear HCSC doesn’t want us and is gonna start cutting us. Have yet to even have HCSC management engage with us. Would be nice to hear a kind word from them rather than threats of write ups/ termination they are sending through supervisors to whole teams. I was hoping for better from this company. I was sorely mistaken. Luckily for me, I have other options. Feel terrible for those who are stuck.
If hcsc wants to keep talent - they should issue retentions. To both HCSC top talent and to Cigna top talent. Right now it’s a disorganized cluster.
Remember don't give up what makes you good at your job. Your SOP's, P&P's, and Job-aids should be basic overview. Never document and willing give up the details, tips and tricks that you helped create.
I saw this coming and polished up my resume. A job offer should be coming this week and I’m out of here. Bye HCSC. This has been The Worst couple weeks of my career. You should be ashamed of your lack of professionalism.
I too came over from Cigna, and based on a meeting I was in this week, sounds like HCSC is looking to find anything they can to start letting us worker bees go. All I’m gonna say.
In my area, We just let go all of our Deloitte and Cognizant workers (about 40 folks). Found out on 4/23 that their last day is 4/30/2025.
Company is getting rid of offshore talent and making room for our new Cigna team members.
Why is some id--t customer on here whining about her plan? Go away. You're on the wrong forum. Stop posting everywhere.
As a Cigna Supplement/Medigap customer, I am not feeling any warm fuzzies about HCSC after reading so many “left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing” and “bit off more than they can chew” type comments. It’s annoying that HCSC is mute on what their intentions are for Supplement, not Advantage, plans in 2026.
I think I am in the minority. I am a longtime Cigna employee and have been heavily engaged by HCSC leadership for the area I now roll under. They have pulled us into their team meetings met with me to see some of the work my team does and I have helped link them up with other Cigna teams to share capabilities. They want to pull my team into an existing project on the HCSC side but are not sure if it's possible, from a legal standpoint, or feasible with our networks still being wholly separate.
That said our interactions with the operations team leadership at HCSC has not been very positive. The leader we encountered was dismissive and condescending but this seemed to stem from them being sort of clueless about the area they were supposed to be running. I work with the peer group of that department for Cigna and was shocked at how completely disconnected from the actual work this leader appeared and how just flat out wrong they were on a vital basic of the area. I imagine whoever works for this HCSC area feels completely unvalued with a leader like that.
Long story short it all seems to depend on the area. I have seen very good and very bad. I think there may be a lack of top down leadership on the HCSC side so no one really knows what to do.
This transition to HCSC has been awful. Hate this new company. For a bunch of know it alls, they never seem to have a single answer.
We aren’t even allowed to connect with HCSC peers. I’ve asked 4 times. It feels like I never actually left Cigna but I’m also not HCSC. HCSC leadership has only taken the time to meet with upper Cigna leadership. They haven’t made any effort to connect with the teams they’re now over. When I try to reach out for networking purposes, they keep referring me back to my direct manager.

PLEASE WE ARE SO UNDERSTAFFED WE NEED YOU
Senior leadership's approach doesn't reflect how all of us feel. But in my area we are not even being connected with Cigna peers yet.
All of the duplicate work is coined “collaboration” so you can be gaslit if you offer suggestions to drive efficiencies or give leaders and actual power to make improvements.
I don't think we will truly see much change until next year. The plans for 2025 were already in place and as long as we are still connected to the Cigna network, HCSC is limited on how much they can access.
I’ve been invited to 2 “welcome” meetings, and they talk about how they hope we feel a warm welcome. Besides those large webinars, the only updates I hear about is information that has trickled down to my manager about who else has “put in their resignation” aka their role was eliminated. I assume HCSC is trying to figure out where best to put teams under their structure.
The structure is another thing that is wild to me. There seem to be many teams doing the same work but just for certain regions or localities whereas a team like mine is a one stop shop and we own a lot of work in a structured, documented process. I don’t feel that approach would work well for all the new markets they acquired?? I really don’t know what’s going to happen, but all I do is check emails in the remote desktop maybe once a day. It crashes all the time so I can hardly use it anyway lol. I’m just reverting back to BAU at this point and will adjust whenever things change. Really glad to pop on this forum every now and then to see other folks’ experiences.
My thoughts exactly! I’ve never experienced anything like it. Truly unprofessional. I’m quite convinced we’re only being kept around long enough to get things up and running and we’ll all soon be an afterthought.
Finally, a new topic that hasn't been talked about here ad nauseum
Don't take it personally. It's fairly standard compared to their normal operations. Their staff in general is usually an afterthought.
