Wow - what an embarrassment. This guy uses more "uhs" and "ums" than a 5th grader. How does the Board allow a "C" player like this even close to an SLT position? This guy can't even fake that he has a modicum of presence, knowledge, or wisdom.
It’s all smoke and mirrors
It’s the same cr-p with a different spin for years. We are under performing wow big surprise. AIP is going to be recalibrated…. forget AIP. It’s all bullsh-t. The SLT and board executives (and their “consultants” which there are hundreds of) are... — read more
The next round of layoffs will come after RTO
Once they see how many people quit because they couldn’t or wouldn’t comply with RTO, they’ll decide how many more to cut. But don’t despair - we’ve had rolling layoffs for a while now. It’s usually one person or a small group here and there, just... — read more
Survey results show no satisfaction rate?
I forgot what the survey was like. So it was not supposed to generate any % satisfaction? All comment based? Or they are just hiding it?
AIP
Did you catch that? Don’t kid yourself, they’re not changing it in your favor.
My god - GB's monologues are downright embarrassing
It's obvious she's reading this garbage from a teleprompter for the first time. You can infer how much she cares about employees by how much she prepares for these things. It's 5 MINUTES of direct facetime PER QUARTER, and you get the bare minimum.
$304
Stock price down 36% under MK, and up only 29% since GB took over in Nov 2017. I’d ask if the Board is upset with SLT, but I know it’s stacked with SLT buddies. Clearly, SLT direction, strategy, and priorities (AI, health of humanity, DEI, Food as... — read more
No more Layoff news on a Layoff site
While I understand the frustrations of people working here and the need to vent, there is just a lot of the same things that are conveyed here about RTO, how horrible the company is, etc. I’m looking for layoff news - seems like that has gotten lost... — read more
Post it where they can see it
Everyone needs to post a review about how we do not want to return to office on Glassdoor and how hard it is for us/how little connection there is. They read the reviews, maybe they will eventually listen that it isn't working for us?
Every person in a leadership position should read this
From a LinkedIn post by Ryan Yockey - "Culture is how your team feels on Sunday night. No perk or poster can fix that. Because culture isn’t a memo. It’s how people feel when the work isn’t exciting… When feedback isn’t honest… When they show up... — read more
2 directors suddenly out until Friday?
So 2 directors in my area. Mine and another are out. Typically they notify us but this time just our with brief out of office notice. Just curious
Does anybody know who decides who gets laid off?
Some of the choices lately have been downright bizarre. I'm just wondering if my manager has any say in it, or if it's all coming from much higher up.
Any updates for the CA elevance behavioral health staff?
We’re anticipating layoffs due to losing major CA Medicaid contracts. Any insight there as to why we’re losing so much and if we’ll get cut too?
At this point I’ve stopped going the extra mile
Doesn’t matter what you did yesterday, they’ll turn on you the second it suits them. The worst part is it’s not offshore teams causing the mess, it’s the folks right next to you. All the blame rolls downhill while they collect their rewards. Not... — read more
After working here, I'll never work for another corporation again!
This company is evil and dis-honest! It is the poster child for all that is wrong with America and what's wrong with our society. Society would be better off without it.
Going in three days this week or choosing/trying to leave?
Just curious how many will report in three days every week now (Directors and above), how many are planning to leave/retire and how many are just going to continue to work remote and tell them to go sc--w themselves? I already know of three hard... — read more
Depression and soul su-king Elevance
Depression around here is rampant. I hate signing on anymore. Carelon is draining any will I have left in CCA. The ask from leadership is compounding so heavily everyday there is no way to succeed. We have prehistoric tech, a strained workforce..one... — read more
H1bs
I think we will all be kicked out eventually. This Org will squeeze us dry for a few peanuts we get. Forget the salary hikes and get used to hate all around you.
I really hate my job here
And now the job market is a horror show. Worm bodies just keep piling up. Hundreds of applicants for every decent opening. I’d even take a pay cut, but the pickings are slim. I can’t stand feeling so cornered and stuck.
Why offshore????
Why this company offshoring everything to the Philippines and India. What a disaster and disgrace to the people in the states that are getting replaced for some pocket change.
Revised Hybrid Workplace Experience Policy
Search it on the intranet- “While associates may currently be expected to report to the office fewer than 5 days per week, they MUST UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT that workplace attendance requirements are subject to change at the discretion of the... — read more
Here’s a thought..
Hey HR and SLT, if you need heads to RIF, start looking at people who have unlimited PTO. Start tracking it because it’s obvious these people’s responsibilities are not needed when they’re out on vacation ALL THE TIME. I have never seen such abuse of... — read more
Loyalty doesn't pay the bills
At the end of the day, it's all about the money, and they’ve made it clear we're all nothing but a number. So when that overtime call comes, remember: they won’t hesitate to replace you before your chair’s even cold. Your family and your time is... — read more
$474/share
That was share price when new CFO came onboard in August 2023. Share price down 28% since then. How’s all that Spark/AI push and smirking over STI/LTI working out for ya, pal? Accountability? Nahhhhhhh………
Layoffs
Are we going to see layoffs this week?
Here we go
https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/us-supreme-court-lifts-order-that-blocked-trumps-mass-federal-layoffs-2025-07-08/ It’s going to get even harder with all of the Federal employees in the market looking for jobs soon
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 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.
