I looked up my role's pay band last week. I'm five thousand below the bottom number. What do I even do with that information?
Quick Q for Mark and Felicia
If people donate to the PAC do you guarantee they don't get RIF'd?
Layoffs
Anything new for upcoming layoffs? And what areas? Volume is down, people are being pulled to other areas to work and everyone is being micromanaged. What’s going on. It’s stressful enough here.
Unlimited paid time off.
Interviewing @Elevance... What are your thoughts on it? What are the pros and cons, and are there any hidden downsides to watch out for? It sounds almost too good to be true.
Repayment signing bonus
Has anyone had experience leaving the company before completing one year of employment and being required to repay a signing bonus? If so, I’d appreciate any insight into how the process works in practice. Specifically, I’m trying to... — read more
Will the last person leaving Carelon please turn off the lights?
Two weeks, two exits. Next two weeks, two more will be gone. Vest man has a retention problem.
Directors asked to List responsibilities with metrics
This feels like an Elon Musk moment. Was asked to put in four bullets what my role is with metrics supporting it? Can’t say “Oversees” or anything high level. Is Director level being hit next?
Why should we outsource everything to Carelon offshore?
We have enough intelligent people inside the organization. Cost saving? I don't think so. It usually takes much longer to get low quality work based on my experience with Indian. Now we oursource our manufacturing jobs to China and white collar jobs... — read more
Town Hall
Oooooh, they went for the talk show format! Cringe-worthy.

Will our CEO take the advice of the International Energy Agency?
The IEA has advised workers to work from home due to the oil shortages that have started and will soon be getting worse. Will Elevance Health’s CEO acknowledge this new reality by removing the silly in-office... — read more
You know why things are the way they are?
You ask three people the same question and get three different answers. All of them sound confident too. So it turns into a game of eeny, meeny, miny, moe to decide what to do. And if you get the wrong one, guess whose fault it is? This whole place... — read more
Reorganization Means Layoffs
Every time you get an email about a re-organization, you can expect layoffs to follow. This will continue under our current CEO. It’s a way to distract and perform for the board with dismal earnings. Some advice: understand and use AI, you are marked... — read more
CCA in Carelon Insights (PI) is a trash dump
This is the worst area to work in. The Directors are incompetent, treat their managers and direct reports with total disrespect under JS. Some of the Directors talk behind their direct reports back to other departments, accuse them falsely and are... — read more
Thoughts on Redeployment Partner
Do they really help?
Unlimited PTO
What do you guys think about it? Pros and Cons? Gotchas? Sounds too good to be true.
Q 4 Managers: what direct report number are you being told is the new minimum??
Hearing 15-18 for managers and 7-9 for directors. Is that real across orgs or only in certain lines?
1:1 with manager
I usually have my 1:1 every other Wednesday. My manager schedule 1:1 for tomorrow. Should I be concerned?
Hard work doesn't pay off
Don't ever forget it. You're more likely to get laid off if you're skilled, experienced, and outperform than if you're an average slacker who's just good at office politics. The better you are, the higher the chance you're deemed too expensive for a... — read more
It's bad enough she ruined Careers, now she is ruining my retirement fund
When will this woman suffer the consequences of her actions? Stock is tanking today. Normally, after a big RIF, the stock market reacts favorably. She is TOXIC. Gail or any of her flying monkeys that read this - STOP, just stop your greed and... — read more
Stop being shamed from the Layoffs
If we all banded together and we could see the names, sees and ages you better believe there is clear evidence of racism in these layoffs.
So sorry to everyone who was laid off today
I lost two truly competent people on my team - we are certainly going to feel it.
Layoffs? (4/14)
Anyone else hearing how big an impact today's layoff is/was? I know of at least 2 managers in the call center that were given 30 day notice today and were told there were a lot of others as well.
I think there is another purge coming.
Just learned managers must have 15-18 direct reports, directors 7-9. There are many managers with only 5-10, directors, 3-5. I think we will see consolidation.
Alternative layoff yeah through UST
Elevance rebadged several of us to UST and that too without severance. Now within a year we have been let go. Several of us are US citizens and since we were rebadged, the UST layoffs are overly biased against US citizens. UST is a H1B first company... — read more
A truly heartless company!!
I was hired for a mid level position. They were going to pay me twice as much as my previous job so it was hard to say 'no". I went thru 2 months of training and then was supposed to work with a mentor(where the real learning happens)..just a mere 3... — read more
Vote them out
Shareholder voting starts today. Vote every single one of this board OUT
Layoffs and Reorg 3/30
What areas? Who is gone? I'm hearing it is huge.
Jobs for nurses
What are some good jobs for nurses? I work at a busy hospital and am really stressed out and a friend told me to check out insurance jobs.
“Internal” vs “external”
I applied for a job during my 30 day post lay off, when I was still “internal”. I was in screening status and spoke with manager and was moving forward. Then my last official day came. Now I’m “external”. I just found out that this job isn’t hiring... — read more
Any good healthcare employers out there?
I’m young in my career and all three MCO’s I have worked at have been hellish, with Anthem being the worst by far. Wondering if folks have actually encountered a decent healthcare company to work at? Considering changing industries altogether because... — read more
Is Bioplus decent to work for?
Culture, work load, etc? Asking for a friend.
RTO for no good reason and rising gas prices
RTO just because I am forced to do so. Collaborate with no one - all my meetings are via Teams - Merit 1.5% and gas close to 4 bucks a gallon. Thanks Gail - your stupid policy is costing me money to work here.
A FAILED COMPANY
Throughout Gail's reign of te---r, she has brought this company to a new low. It's true that all the major healthcare companies are cr-p these days, but Elephants Health has trampled on its people far more than any other I've heard. They care NOTHING... — read more
Moving pulse point locations
Hello all! I am waiting for my manager to return from PTO so thought I would ask her till then as I am freaking out. My current assigned pulse point and where I live is Indy. However, my husband matched for a residency program in Galveston, TX. That... — read more
In the clear?
Is GBD still being targeted or we "in the clear" for now? My anxiety is screaming to jump ship at this point.
Internal job transfers
Does anyone know if bosses can essentially block an associate from transferring to another internal job? No known freezes or limits within the department on transfers.
Three people gone from my team yesterday
Skilled, experienced, two were veterans. Feels like they're targeting the ones we actually need. Apparently being good at your job is now a liability.
