All of these transformation meetings feel like a succession episode for The Broke. Is the joke on us? Also, why does that man look mad 😑
Yesteryear Transformation
Remember how much we all hated Gloria and Anil and their re-jiggering of transformation every couple years based on whether McKinsey or Deliotte was cheaper... Heres a new transformation idea, FOR FREE! Let's start rifs at the top as part of... — read more
Any HR out there?
Do the managers get notified of upcoming rif and complete some kind of assessments or something? If they do, how far ahead of the rif do they know? 2 weeks, a month? Please be honest.
Carelon
“Lift and shift” beginning. CM and DM moving whole depts to Carelon. Not losing jobs. 1600 FTE. Majority by 1/1 /2025
Bullsh-t layoffs
They say they are downsizing, but they also have advertisements saying they are hiring. For instance yesterday they laid off 40 associate claiming they needed to downsize, but still say they are hiring. They come up with bullsh-t reasons for firing... — read more
Anyone age 65+ ever been riffed from this company?
Does anyone know if this company has ever riffed anyone that was 65 years old or older? Do they wait for you to either die at your desk or decide to retire so they don't have to pay out a full salary for up to 6 months under Supp? Or do they... — read more
Transformation
That meeting was like a symphony of words about nothing, with no clear melody—just a whole lot of talking in circles, leaving everyone confused about what we actually discussed!
Touchpoint meeting 9/24
Does anyone know what this 15 minute meeting is about?
Can I still get supplemental unemployment benefit if I have a 2nd side job?
I have a 2nd side job that does not make too much money (less than the state unemployment threshold). Anthem knows about my 2nd gig so there is nothing 'hidden'. My question is that can I still get supplement unemployment benefit if I have 2nd side... — read more
A JOKE
I was recently RIF'd and I can tell you that all the BS from "Human" Resources is empty! They tell you how they're there for you and just reach out to them. But they don't care about you in the least! Every time I try to get a hold of them to clarify... — read more
Carelon Philippines
As a provider this has got to be the worst move ever. When we call in now the service is horrible , they don’t understand anything about process and you can hear a lot of background noise. You spend a lot of time on the phone with no help. Greedy... — read more
Ppl leaders who have riffed
What are some things that start happening once you’re notified you have to rif someone from your team ? Do you silently start reassigning their work load ? Remove them meetings ? What are some things we may not know ?
Back to Acquiring New Plans to Ruin
So GB RIFs people so they can buy additional plans to ruin because they can't even retain their own business. What a great way to run a company! Elevance Health to aquire IU Health Plans.
Check out competitors before applying
I know many are looking to leave, but before applying anywhere, take a look at the competing companies on this website. It seems like many are in the same boat. Just like here, most of their leaders believe they won't lose much from layoffs but stand... — read more
Recent Retirement Age RIFs
Question for recently RIF’d at retirement age - Were you offered any package that included medical insurance or other retirement specific benefits? (Or is that optimistic to the point of delusional??) Thank you.
Carelon pull through!
The end of line is coming for many of us. Key dates. 10/01/24. And 03/2025
Is 10/17 confirmed or still rumored only?
I mean, it wouldn’t be a shocker. Anthem is going for as much offshoring as it can get away with and suffer no consequences at least for now. I wouldn’t mind being laid off in the next round, as I see no future in this company for any of us. For that... — read more
Managing with fear
Why does it feel like every manager here thinks fear is the only way to get things done? Has no one let them know you catch more flies with honey than vinegar? All they're doing is crushing whatever morale is left and pushing the best people to leave... — read more
October surprise?
So what’s this latest RIF round rumored for October? Any details?
Do not use
if you and I are laid off and become eligible for Medicaid, please do not choose Elevance as your managed care organization
Here We Go…

Another “Fortune Best Places to Work” ranking for Elevance
Becker’s had the most Fortune’s recent top employers to work for posting. Of the health systems, Elevance was #3 for 2024. Yea us! It’s done by a survey of employees. No payoffs here. From the ranking, it seems they asked only VP’s and above, and... — read more
9/11
Am I missing an email but was there no mention of 9/11. From Gail?
Burned out
I am so sick and tired as a subject matter expert doing everybody else’s job and never getting credit for it. These people and management will take credit for your work and receive recognition and not even tell you about it. Another gripe is that... — read more
Carelon
In meeting right now….. work is moving to Carelon to “help you”.
Leave Elevance if you can
Elevance isn't exactly a career hotspot these days. Have you ever heard the saying "Elevance is where your career goes to die?" If you hadn't before, now you did. These days, people only end up here when no one else will hire them. It’s not really a... — read more
Career Profile
I see postings on those asked to complete their Career Profile. Is the enterprise wide? Asking and curious because our team has not been asked to complete this. Anyone know about this please. Thanks
Years of service after RIF
I was rifled recently, rehired 38 days later, shouldn’t I retain my original years of service date for PTO accurals?
The hypocrisy is astounding
This new mandatory “How we work” is almost laughable in what they require from us. Dedication, hard work, empathy, all the while we are just waiting for the unannounced call that we are no longer needed and last day will be ……
Oh, Omar you are so Vague
Are you going to lay us off or what? Combining Medicare & Medicaid and moving to Carelon?? Genius idea- let's lose both contracts. I'll just go watch my Elevating Respect in the Workplace learning
Supplement Pay Attestation
How do I attest each week that I'm unemployed to qualify for supplemental unemploymnt? Is there a website that I go to? I emailed HR like 4 times and they haven't gotten back to me at all. Does anyone here know?
Always be prepared for a reorgs and layoffs at Anthem
It’s the management's road to "success."
Q for those looking for another job
What’s your experience? I’m at the insurance side. I’ve been trying for almost six months now, and no luck. I was offered a couple of jobs, but in all cases compensation was lower than what I earn now. I’m beginning to despair because I want to leave... — read more

Why the Switch to AmeriBen?
Heard from a few sources that a lot of folks under Anil quickly moved to AmeriBen before 8/8 hit. Anyone have insight on this? Did they save themselves because they knew?
Guard the snacks!
Anyone else have a security guard at their pulse point guarding the snacks? In the office today and with the new vending arrangement that started yesterday, a security guard is posted to assure nobody takes a snack without paying for it. This... — read more
