Next Rif
Hello Any insights on next RIF?
8/8 Victims
All the 8/8 victims, this will be our last week. It breaks my heart to even think that I have to leave because of an incompetent manager with lot of backings. Hope her reality comes out soon and she is also let go.
Leave Elevance if you can
If you can't get yourself to start looking for a new job, I need you to remember that you are neither lazy nor unmotivated. This place has forced us to live in survival mode for years, and all of us are simply exhausted from it. Do your best to relax... — read more
Total for the year
How many employees did Anthem lose so far this year, both to cuts and folks deciding they've had enough and walking away? I know there's no way to know the exact number (especially since we're still hiring, even though that makes no sense at all)... — read more
Hybrid
Anyone know when we’ll all be required back in the office full time?

Thoughts and reactions to HOO town hall?
How are you staying sane?
I feel like I'm losing my mind a bit more every single day with everything that's been going on. My anxiety has never been worse. I'm just not sure how much more of the constant worrying and stressing I can take - especially knowing that there's no... — read more
For those who are RIF'd
Are you going to let employers know what happened during interviews? Or write an explanation on your resume/cover letter? Looking for advice, thank you
CarelonRx Townhall w $@ndy
I am curious if we’ll get more “embrace change” rhetoric.
Question about 50 mile Requirement
Good evening, it seems all Elevance internal positions now state that you must reside within 50 miles of a PulsePoint office. With some office locations downsizing and/or not having desk space, what happens if an internal candidate tries to apply for... — read more
Empathy Screen Savers
Anyone else absolutely disgusted at the gall of Elevance sending a screen saver update touting the importance of empathy and skill building session for it in the same week that 10% of the company gets RIF'd?
Manager did not like me.
My manager loathed me. So I got RIFed. Now I get paid to watch TV all day.
Will the CEO go to prison.
Do CEOs go to prison when the company they lead is found to be corrupt?
How's the coming week looking?
Can we breathe for a sec? Any rumors?
With carelon global solutions being apart of elevance.
I’m sure more lay offs will come. They’ve already outsource claims and other departments to the Philippines in India. So there’s no doubt that more departments will now be handled over seas! (Yikes ) how’s everyone experience with the Philippines?... — read more
Any ideas when layoffs may actually happen?
Besides in October, that is. Working here is so stressful on so many levels, and then there is a constant expectation of layoffs as cherry on top.
Anyone on this forum use GoodRX vs the health plan
I know this isn't lay off post. But wanted to share. I used Good RX for a prescription that was denied by Anthem and only paid 5.00 . I also had a prescription ' rung up' by the pharmacy under both my Anthem policy and Good RX and it was cheaper to... — read more
No layoffs
With no layoffs today, does this mean we're safe for a while? Is it time to relax, at least for a little bit? I don't mean to sound naive, but I'm just tired of always thinking about whether I will have a job tomorrow or next week or not. It's not... — read more
Grow Carelon….Grow Elevance….
Does anyone have any thoughts about the truth behind ‘Growing Carelon’? With this being one of strategic initiatives, where does that leave Elevance associates? Not once have I heard how do we grow Elevance.
exceeds
Calling for all remaining associates who survive monthly rifings to give yourself exceeds on all corporate values. This company doesn't actually uphold a single one of them and yet asks us to. Thanks for low bar. When compliance week rolls around... — read more
The best part of rif
Not to minimize any one particular person's RIF situation because it's all scary and terrible but I'd like to offer a small silver lining. YOU DONT HAVE TO BE INSURED BY US ANYMORE!!! your auths might go through. Your claims might get paid. Your... — read more
Red Flag?
So in a call with my unofficial manager and I am not exaggerating. Our director can’t be bothered to meet with us and there are no managers in our area. Anyway, this person proceeded to guarantee us we would not be hit with RIFs. My thought is the... — read more
Phew! Looks like we made it without RIFs today!
Well my fellow Helevancers. We made it without being thrown to the sharks. Lets enjoy our weekend.
Remodeling Offices equals Laying off employees
It is amazing how a company can spend so much money on decorating stupid buildings to sacrifice their associates livelihood. I used to enjoy talking about Anthem as the best place to work but I can't say the same now. Stop hiring exes who are ready... — read more
October layoffs are tough
October layoffs are tough, especially since it’s close to year-end when finding a new job is difficult, and the market isn’t great right now. Why do companies choose to do layoffs at this time? Will they at least give employees time until the end of... — read more
It's a week-to-week job!
Ahhhh, sigh of releif. I made it through another week here. Yup! That's what I say to my wife at 5pm on a non-pay Thursday. It's become the ongoing joke in my home. As funny as this is, its no way to live. This company is truley the worst place I've... — read more
Please don't scare people unless you know for sure something is coming
We are already stressing and worrying all the time. There is no need to add fuel to the fire by talking about layoffs on a specific day as a certainty when it was never confirmed that it would actually happen. If you know something that the rest of... — read more
8/22 RIF
Please report all 8/22 Rifs in this post
Can’t even remember the good times
You know, when this company was actually worth working for. I’ve been here long enough to witness all the changes for the worse. These days it’s just plain ugly and rotten.
Resources or support from company if laid off?
Does the company give additional support beyond supplemental pay and COBRA, like outplacement services?
So scary knowing that elevance will allow jobs to be offshored to India and the Philippines
How is that even a good thing ?! Beside them getting paid sh**y. They have access to members claims information Social Security number. So many providers are irate that claims are not processing correctly and then they call and speak to someone who... — read more
AIP
Have you noticed that new position are saying AIP 0%. Are they taking AIP away? I’m positive there are a ton of changes coming. Insurance companies are offering less money & less bonuses these days.
Leadership should be careful
Do they not realize that morale sinks after good employees are laid off? The remaining good people do not feel safe anymore and head for the hills the first chance they get. If this lasts long enough, the company could find itself in real trouble... — read more
I said WTF
My first day at Helevance I said to another newbie, WTF is going on here. I was stupefied by the disaster I stepped into. The BS was so deep, I had to put on my hip boots. It seems like everyone was talking bull sheet and had very little... — read more
$1B in Savings by 2025
Please take this into consideration. YOU. YOU PERSONALLY are not responsible for saving this company $1B. Or even whatever slice of that your workstream is responsible for. The pressure applied to associates about savings that had nothing to do with... — read more
