Not for nothing, but doesn't it seem like all of our leaders are by accident. Like people we just happened upon and just threw into positions because of "networking". It's just funny to me to see the number of VPs, staff vps and chiefs of chiefery... — read more
The Real Housewives of Orange County
I stopped watching The Real Housewives of Orange County so I can follow this company. It's much more entertaining. I cannot wait until next season!
IT department
I worked in the IT department back in 2021 as a contractor through Randstad. Always promising us to be hired full time and kept getting pushed back. They have us doing member calls first then moving onto the providers, employers, and brokers after... — read more
8/22??
Are layoffs happening day after tomorrow? Can someone in the know put ours worries at ease?
New manager every few months
Can somebody please explain to me what's happening to this place? I've had a new manager every few months for the last two years. I'm not sure if it's restructuring, or people leaving, or if it's something else, but it's becoming worrisome... — read more
Anthems NPS Score
Next Town Hall I'd like Anthem to comment on their NPS score https://www.comparably.com/brands/anthem-in Never happen.
See you in September, or October, or November
Well, it looks like the RIFs are done for this month. See you next time.
Go to Glassdoor! Give REAL ratings
It’s very important that the fake, happy-go-lucky reviews on Glassdoor, Indeed, etc are overshadowed with the truth! Elv is terrible and has been for years now. This board is very helpful but we should post these anonymous reviews everywhere we can. — read more
I remember ..
There was a time many, many years ago, that then WellPoint - under the tutelage of then REAL WOMAN CEO
Marketing RIFs next week?
Are they laying off anyone from Marketing next week? It sounded like they’ll be announcing plans for the reorg. I’m assuming that’ll mean cuts. Will those be as early as Thursday, 8/22?
How do RIFs work
So who actually decides who gets RIFed in these regular layoffs? Is it HR? The worker’s manager? Some combination? TIA
Happy Friday and Weekend
I hope we can all decompress and breath again! Stay safe and be well.
Quit complaining
This forum should be informative but instead there are so many folks complaining about jobs being moved offshore. If you don’t like it then work for another company or make yourself invaluable. Use your brains !! Elevance is a business, not your... — read more
Has 8/22 been confirmed?
I pretty much expect it. If it’s true, it probably won't be as bloody. But who knows? They need to “optimize” us, which is always bad.
Elevance vaguely hints at their reasons for restructuring.
"We are at a pivotal, dynamic time for our industry and company, with increased pressures rapidly evolving regulation, questions about the use and application of emerging technologies, rising medical and pharmaceutical costs, reduced government... — read more
Carelon Town Hall 8.16.24
Get ready. Thoughts?
Somebody called it on this site!
Free food and beverage being discontinued 1/2025! The site has never steered us wrong.
On PTO last 2 weeks, am I affected?
Hi all, I was on PTO last couple weeks and no access to my email and work phone. Just back today and not seeing any emails about RIF. But one contractor saying I am affected… Even my manager haven’t reached out me yet
Helivance has become a Dilbert Cartoon
Hellevance reminds me of a Dilbert cartoon called 'Strategy Meeting' - "The weak economy is limited our strategic options"... "I won't sugar coat anything" ... "Option one is a long slide to oblivion"... "Option two is a death spiral" ..."Our new... — read more
Will the grass be greener
ELV is a pretty cr-ppy place to work. I wonder if other companies are any better, or the same?
I don’t like my job
And I especially don’t like this company. Worked insurance for years in diff places, and this is, hands down, the worst. I haven’t been here for long, and I’m looking for an exit. Jobs are not exactly plenty these days. I’ve been sending out to... — read more
PROTEST UNTIL GAIL QUITS (9/2/24)
Do not work on this day
Dang! It can't be that bad here
There has to be some goods things about working at this company? I think someone mentioned free food at the office, that's a good thing.
God Please Save Us!
I haven’t been RIF’d yet but just like many of my other coworkers, doing the least because morale is at it’s WORST, gaining more knowledge, experience, taking a bunch of certification courses and when my time is up I will run to the bank and... — read more
AIP Eligibility?
For those that were RIF’d before 12/31/24, do they pay out your AIP at the end of your severance period? I hope those that were impacted thus far are eligible!
We've been told we must demonstrate value!
Have you heard you must demonstrate value if you want to keep your job? Has anyone been told what the means? Or, is it just another buzzword with no context. Have you noticed we make grand statements with no context or explantion of what that really... — read more
Are there plans for us to go back into the office?
Anyone know if there are plans for us to go back into the office at designated weeks and or days? I heard this may be the new office standard but I’ve only heard whispers. I guess if they’re trying to cut back on expenses this move would make no... — read more
“We need to work together”
This phrase will give me a stroke one day. How dare they? As if we have any stake in this horrible company? As if anybody is asking for our opinion? As if we are equal partners in the cash-extraction machine that treats employees like office... — read more

8/22 RIF...Fact or Speculation
Does anyone have this information? I read so many posts and threads on this, but still unsure if fact or speculation? Anyone our there in the know. Thanks
Health Solutions Town Hall

Town halls have become completely useless
A total waste of time.
Health Insurance
Anyone RIF'D able to get Medicaid? Want to be proactive for maintenance meds. I'm sure Cobra is $600+ a month :(

Currently on. Felicia speaking. Basically more lay offs. Tons of cuts Medicare and Medicaid. “Difficult decisions regarding staffing structures”

I had planned on making it a few more years to retirement
My plans were dashed on the rocks of reality last week. I was RIF'ed. Okay, so that plan didn't workout. So, I'll come up with a new plan! I've made it this far, just a bit further to that retirement dream. What's your plan?
