I know people are happier when they leave, but I'm too scared to do it. A former coworker found a new job for lower pay, but he's overjoyed. He keeps telling me how the stress is finally gone and how he can enjoy his free time again. Even hearing... — read more 

I predict they will use the word AI 2,834 times...2,842 of those implying that AI will replace Associates. And I predict they will have nothing else.

Opening this space for thoughts after the meeting 🤔

Just received a VM on my personal phone from a law firm that is investigating Elevance. The individual asked for 15-20 minutes of my time. I called back and had a very transparent conversation as I was happy to share what I knew. I dont want to get... — read more 

I know money will be saved but that seems to be the only benefit? Trying to understand the mgmt? I see many drawbacks, less productivity and abiloity to do things, and other things? what else?????

It may be a shock when it happens, it may induce fear of the future and undermine your confidence, but once the worst moment is over, you will actually be relieved. There is a whole world out there, which is something we all forget when entangled in... — read more 

Just heard from someone in the know...No rifs will take place in November. Has anyone else heard anything regarding this? If so, please share. Thank you

Her head will soon be rolling. We have been losing our best employees and our best customers. Government and Commercial business and come 2025 CalPERS!.

I seek to understand the disparity in responses to retirement versus layoffs. When individuals retire, it is common for their teams and management to express gratitude, extend congratulations, and present gifts as a token of appreciation. For... — read more 

Tomorrow is Monday and I don’t even want to turn on my laptop. It all seems like a meaningless rat wheel. Systems that don’t functions, sinking ships everywhere, low morale, droves of middle market VP’s and Executives that push more on the worker... — read more 

This isn’t my first rodeo at this company. I’ve been here just under 11 years and those of us left will wish we were gone

You don’t know me, but please know that the majority of us are grateful for those of you that know things about RIFs and share it here. 2023 I was part of a Teams massive RIF and 100% had no idea. It was so unreal. Thank you, contributors, for... — read more 

Is this some kind of a stupid joke? They realized nobody’s picking up the boatload of work we were doing and there are new positions open in the same org, we were released from. What a freaking circus…

If you died, your manager would put out a job posting in 48 hours looking for a replacement. Your friends and family will never get that chance. As much as a job is necessary, do not ignore the relationships where you remain... — read more 

Those we need always get to go first. I get why it’s been happening. The best and most experienced are the most expensive. They will be replaced by the cheapest possible workers offshore. But having each round of layoffs conducted in such a manner... — read more 

STOP with all the offshoring to Philippines and India. Taking away so many jobs from us here in the states. This company doesn’t have a rats A** about Americans.

Is it my delulu mind or is it coincidence that in the last week I have gotten a call from the Wellbeing team promoting a free service to talk about emotional wellbeing services. Like a call from am 800 number EVERYDAY. When asked what the... — read more 

I was RIFd 10/18, and that was also my last day of work. I want to share a few things. I've been an employee over 25 years and this is NOT the Anthem I knew and loved. I had a note on my computer at all times for a sudden Thursday morning meeting... — read more 

when One can't control the things One should control, one controls the things you can control; when stock prices tank, no winning contracts, so what does GB do? change the company name and update the hybrid policy to be more constrictive. ... — read more 

Make sure you are in the know that the “hybrid workforce policy” was updated 3 days ago.

I'm a former Anthem employee (I left in 2021- my choice) and now current federal employee. I don't know if this would be interesting to any of you or not, but I do believe the federal employee health benefits plan is a big chunk of Anthem's aka... — read more 

Is anyone else drowning in work? We lost some teammates in the last round of layoffs, but unsurprisingly, the workload didn't budge. It's become too much to handle for the rest of us with everything piling up. I'm worried we'll lose more people as... — read more 

Pray for Gail and leadership to be servant leaders

I work in area where the rubber meets the road so to speak. All that cr-p about health of humanity and those we serve is just that! NEVER is the members health or treatment based on what they need ever mentioned! EVER! It’s get them out of... — read more 

I wouldn’t mind layoffs at all if they were based on performance. But that's never been the case. At least not as long as I've worked here, and I've been here a fair number of years. I've seen the best employees walked out again and again. That's... — read more 

I have been trying to keep up. Are there confirmed dates for RIFs in November?

Gail’s “leadership” navigated Elevance straight into a decline in Medicaid enrollment, missed earnings targets, and a drop in Medicare Advantage star ratings. Her “solution”? Punish the heart of this company with hiring freezes, layoffs, outsourced... — read more 

Anyone else pondering the whole MAHA possibility vs the insurance industry? I’m wondering if some of the “challenges” we are facing are the possibility of big changes coming in Jan if RFK Jr. and his team are in play

Let's see how many positive versus negative words we'll get. (I think I already know the answer to that, though.)

Like the game of sink my battleship except the game has more straight forward communication and a process! You ask a question it takes an army of associates to figure out the question, the person, and or the process to refer too! Gail needs to go... — read more 

CAQH. Multiple teams on call. Anyone?

How much institutional knowledge have we lost in the last few years? The impact is felt in everyday work, and it’s only going to worsen. You can’t simply let go of the majority of your most experienced employees, replace them with mostly recent... — read more 

I left a few weeks ago and luckily kept my emails & sent out emails regarding my OT before I left. I had a feeling they would sc--w up my pay or try to withhold it once I was gone. That is exactly what happened. I was supposed to be paid my last... — read more 

Go somewhere where you are valued. The brain drain is happening right in front of their eyes, and now morale is tanking. Plenty of places to work remotely without a RTO mandate and better pay. Heck, look at even the competitors - I bet they would... — read more 

I heard from a reliable source that there will be no AIP next year. This also impacts anyone let go in the 4th quarter. Has anyone else heard the same update?

For those who know, was there a RIF date in November?
