There are many reasons why I don't believe that attrition will be huge due to RTO. People say all kinds of things, and perhaps most of them would like to leave and work somewhere else fully remotely, but I don't believe that many people will leave... — read more 

Are we looking at more major rounds any time soon?

I've lost all trust in this organization. Anytime something happens (market drop, pandemic, etcetera) their first course of action is massive layoffs. I've seen too many good people have their lives and careers derailed whenever there is any market... — read more

The "startup" that wasn't. People leaving and sh-t hitting the fan.

Has Evil-ance changed their approach to downsizing by overloading some people with so much work they are forced to look for another job or risk dying from the stress and working overtime before retiring? That way the company doesn't have to rif more... — read more 

Yea I said it. Leave this horrible democrat based company. Under paid and work like a slave.

I along with 50 other people were axed Thursday in the reporting group. Very secretive with 0 warnings. Beware This company restructures every 6 to 12 months. Very disruptive. I can't imagine these disruption helping the company in the long term

For those who work at Elevance, would you say it is a toxic place to work?

If you are pursuing a career change, I don't think layoff packages are a bad thing, just don't know if boss will approve the idea. Most companies want to scare you into quitting so they don't have to pay for a package.

Imagine if the majority shareholders were to learn how much potential profit is being lost due to total incompetence. It's actually shocking to see the malfeasance and zero accountability in this company.

In another posting, someone mentioned being shown slides that have information of when to be back in the office. Could more details be shared please? Like - what org, what states, dates to be back in TIA

Anthem will be laying off 17 employees eff 07/01/23. Telling employees that they need to dow grade but yet they have 30 temp emplotees from India being trained. Make sense? He-l no . They want to close the union office in Rancho Cordova so they can... — read more

It's not easy to work when you have no motivation at all. I watched the company get rid off some of the best people I worked with, who always worked very hard. After that, how can I have the motivation to give my best? My only hope is that I will... — read more

Some do and some do not advise voluntarily retirement. What are your pro and con arguments?

Hi Does anyone knows how Anthem determines the monthly pension for someone retiring at 55 years old 10 years of service?

Does anyone remember the details of the last time Anthem offered an early retirement package? My recollection is that it wasn't a great offer, which isn't a surprise. I don't expect they'll ever do one again -- they just axe people instead and thus... — read more
