Does anyone have any insight as to how big layoffs could be? I was surprised to hear rumors of layoffs, given that people keep leaving. Who could be the target groups this time?

Please?

Got Meet Criteria on my Performance Appraisal yet no pay for 2 years on a row. Told I am at the top of the scale. My only option at this point is to get out of there.

Just read all these postings to get a taste. Work at Anthem to get the full experience!

I’m so gdaed tired of being reduced to tears every day. Carrying the load of 3 people and forced into 12+ hours a day just to get it done and not being compensated for it because you are salaried. Then despite all this your leadership is... — read more 

Finally, I honestly confronted my team's leader about not being physically able to meet the demands of my (5 person and growing) workload. I was told to take a time management course. :0

Overworked, Under-Valued, Not Appreciated Lay-off half the team and the rest are left to pick up the pieces with the same performance expectations as before. You do the work of 2-3 people and yet your pay grade has nothing to show for it. Even... — read more

Remember the Anthem Data Breach? Well it just got me. My data was on the dark web and my identity was used last week to open a new bank account. So now I have to become an identity theft expert to ward off the effects of Anthem’s pathetic data... — read more 

Welcome to WellPoint, Anthem, Hellgate (or whatever that new name is) or any future names (ha). Doing NOTHING good for members, employees or humanity!

Of all the unnecessary initiatives, Elephant Health is the winner of the competition for the most unnecessary one. Unfortunately, there are even more of them. Why all these unnecessary initiatives?

Who came up with Elevance name? It sounds like the supplement Ensure, or the aldult diaper Depends. They should have taken the words Health and Elevate and made Helevate. Tag line could be: Get Helevated!

Thoughts ?

Will that put on the blacklist for rehire? Also, what does Anthem do about negative PTO balance?

Anyone hearing rumors of more layoffs occurring the first week in March?

These MFers are so f***king greedy. I’m at a loss for words. After being let go last year without warning or any issues — they are now (a year later) fighting the unemployment I claimed for a measles two months. Greed greed and more greed.

While everyone is speculating whether Anthem will soon cut more people and whether the company can keep doing more with fewer people, I am afraid that something else is happening here. I have less work to do than ever. I would say that it is not... — read more 

While many are leaving here in search of better options, how do you comment the fourth-quarter earnings of $1.14 billion?

Is it just me or do others also have more and more trouble meeting the deadlines? I’m still somehow succeeding at it, but it’s becoming a growing challenge for me. Deadlines are becoming unrealistic because Anthem obviously wants to squeeze people... — read more

If you think hard work will not save your job if you think you will not progress despite doing your best?

You will literally need to secretly outsource your own work load because Anthem expects you to do the work of 10 bodies!

No matter how hard you work and the amount of knowledge you have, you are not safe at Anthem. The company will have no problems laying you off if they can find somebody who'd be willing to do your job for less money. The new hire doesn't know as much... — read more

CVS seems to pay more than Anthem bc they offer more unique positions and don't make you become a manager in order to make the big bucks. Just an observation I notice. Anthem is all about manager hierarchy and nothing else.

Look for jobs outside of our industry, apply for jobs you think you have no chance of getting, just put yourself out there. I see so many folks who are unhappy here but are too scared to leave for whatever reason. Even if none of that works (which I... — read more 

Seems to be the first list coming out by Jan 6th! As usual the hard working people are unlucky again!

Has there been any news on first quarter cuts?

Is Anthem still on the warpath to cut its way to profitability? I am one of the victims of that war, I was laid off a year ago. I'm not complaining, though, it was the best thing that could have happened to me. I was too much of a coward to quit... — read more

Once upon a time, in a good employer realm, one had to pick others - peers, customers, other mgmt folks for reviews that were applied to one's annual review (at one time called 360s, perhaps I am showing my longevity). As of yesterday, 11/9/2021, I... — read more

Since they aren't a real company- just a patchwork of vendors. It teaches you a valuable lesson that you shouldn't try to find fulfillment from a job or company no matter how well run or not the company is. You should find it outside.

I've decided that I will not work any more than I do now. And I'm already doing work for several people. If they still think they will achieve something by intimidating people that they have to do an unrealistic amount of work in order not to be... — read more
