Not that I’m happy with working here. Actually, I hate this place. But given waves of layoffs in our industry that’ve been going on for a while and will continue into autumn, I’m terrified of the prospect of losing a job. Like many of us, I simply... — read more 

Does the 8/8 rif include on shore and off shore? Is there an HR person or Manager who may be able to confirm? Thank you

Stay strong, support one another, be tolerant of differing opinions and don't let corporate greed get the best of us. I know....easier said than done. But we are in this together and we will survive! Best to all!

Peeked at the UnitedHealth Group page. It’s the EXACT same story. The names are different (Witty vs. Gail) but they’re feeling the same pain. Looks like they’re a few weeks ahead of us; their RIF date was 7/18, vs. 8/8 (what is it with... — read more 

Anybody know about Project Bridgestone? Normally code named projects require an NDA because they're super secret.

Even if you weren't the name or two your manager submitted, a leader two tiers above them could rif the whole group anyway. It's a 12% cut. Enterprise wide. We're outsourcing much of the work that isn't automated to carelon global. And we're... — read more

During Townhall earlier that day she pushed accepting change, followed by lots of talk about AI and then discussion of making a fraction less this quarter with still billions and billions of revenue and the desire to please investors. I always think... — read more

I'm hearing rumors about Director level being looked at. Anyone else hear anything?

Is IT doing layoffs? Has anyone heard anything?

Maybe our country needs to go to a single payer system.

Torn between wishing to be RIFed in coming round and terrified of looking for a job in the current market.

The contract runs out at the end of October! Those affected do not know who got the contract but have been informed of the loss. I am overwhelmed with feelings. This company is a shell of what it used to be.

I have had several coworkers that were able to transfer to different nursing roles since May. Is there currently a transfer freeze? If not, would you suggest transferring or holding out in current dept awaiting a RIF?

The entire BCoE (benefits center of excellence) organization is moving to WiPro as of 8/1/24. We were just told this morning. We will no longer be Elevance Health employees.
