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.

I haven't heard there were any more cuts today, did I miss anything or was yesterday really an isolated incident?

layoffs taking place today 3/17/26. Myself along with 2 others I know were laid off effective today!! GBD business

Why, why, why doesn’t this company never give a COLA raise. They know these simple merit increases do nothing and barely cover the difference costs of insurance not to mention all the prescriptions they don’t cover that you have to pay out of pocket... — read more 

I just got let go today It’s happening

Reading my emails after a few days off and see we're supposed to support each other while our colleagues get laid off then an hour later a message asking us to donate to the Elevance PAC. What phenomenal leadership.

I worked for Anthem, Inc. (now Elevance Health) for about 10 years. In 2020 during the pandemic, I accepted another remote job with about a 30% pay increase and put in my two weeks. While transitioning my work, I attempted to upload some personal... — read more 

If you were looking to move internally, what are good departments? What are bad? I heard enterprise COC is one to avoid due to bad leadership at the VP levels. Appreciate any thought

I predict Gail will leave the company within a few months (if not sooner), whether it’s her own decision or not. I’ve been here a long time and I’ve never seen a CEO stay as long as her. Our stock is tanking, and has been tanking for at least a... — read more 

It's been three weeks since I walked out with zero notice and zero backup. People thought I was crazy. Maybe I am, who knows. But you know what? I sleep now. I don't wake up with that dread feeling. That place was destroying me and leaving with... — read more 

There was a time they would have addressed it, or at least pretended to. Leadership these days doesn't seem to care. It's bizarre. You get the feeling that if everything fell apart, they wouldn't blink. I guess astronomical income has a way of making... — read more 

Have any non-executives and non-management who have been RIFed successfully negotiated their severance? I also read comments here stating RIFed employees must sign an NDA. Is it worth having an attorney read prior to signing?

I've worked here five years (it feels much longer, though) and I'm still surprised by the decisions leadership makes. It's like common sense goes out the window once you reach a certain level. They roll out policies that actively make our jobs... — read more

Medicare UM has been hobbling along, with not enough work, since early January. Upper management says that a "strategic decision" was made to pull out of some "overly costly markets", with an expected 22% reduction in membership. It does not take... — read more

I was one of the recent folks who got laid off. My “redeployment partner” was worthless. I would email the jobs I applied for and either I’d get a response days later or no response at all. Has anyone had a similar experience? If so, I feel like... — read more 

How did everyone do? I received 3% merit and 90% of AIP.

Watching Elevance Health slowly sink like the Titanic. It’s hard to imagine they will ever recover from this mess.

Ge-z, what will it take for the board to act?

I know it's early in the week, but has anyone found out what their AIP and merit is yet? Was hoping that manager would communicate today.

Management loves to brag about perks and post about balance, but ignore a late night message and suddenly you are the example in a meeting. The whole wellness message rings hollow when the expectations never switch off. You can see who gets protected... — read more 

I am fully remote because the closet pulse point is over 2 hours away. If I wanted to relocate to another state, but remain more than an hour (or more) from a pulse point, would that be permitted ?

Toxicity, bad management, questionable practices, all of it remains. The only thing that actually moves is the downward spiral.

Haytaian is transitioning away from Carelon and everyone will move under the CFO. What are the group’s thoughts about this departure?

Wow, did not see that coming. Devote more time to family my Aunt Fanny.

Saw someone title change to non-contingent worker as was shocked. How did rebadge miss getting posted on this site? This was recent as far as I can tell.

Read about Karan'$ actions. Hopefully someone in this organization is paying attention around this hen house.

With the ongoing game of moving the goal posts every year to deny nearly everyone who earned an exceeds rating from ever getting one, in the spirit of the Olympics, I say “Go for the Bronze “ in 2026 - there is simply no incentive to do more and if... — read more 

Seems for operations, they have to wait for the on site audits to complete and March membership numbers/projections since the end of the subsidies. They can’t show to regulators they are riffing people when we don’t meet TAT

Forcing employees to worry about their jobs nonstop is a perfect way to destroy morale and crater productivity. You can see it playing out in real time.

There are many posts about RIFs and advice often posted on social media is to watch WARN trackers. I checked several major states and don’t see many, if any, Elevance notices. But I know people in some of those states were RIFed and given the 60-day... — read more
