Does anyone know if you quit anthem in the middle of the year whether or not you get a prorated raise...or do you just lose it completely?
We work hard so our leaders can make $millions
Last year, 4 Anthem Vice Presidents made over $5 million, and the President and CEO Gail Boudreaux made over $17 million. In the meantime, the median Anthem employee wages have declined the last two years by over $10,000: 2017: $70,867 2018:... — read more
Seems like everyone is leaving
Almost all my colleagues are looking for a way to the exit. Some people openly talk about how many applications they have sent. The atmosphere is such that it looks like everyone is leaving. Not because of vaccination but because people don’t... — read more
Tired and overwhelmed
I have prioritized looking for a new job because I know that I will not be able to continue to work at this pace much longer. I’m too tired because the amount of work that I'm doing should not be done by just one person. If I compare last year and... — read more
It's become annoying to watch
Here for the most part, everyone already thinks that the most important thing is to be among the managers favorites. In that sense Anthem is not much different from other companies I’ve worked for, but it's amazing to me how many people are able to... — read more
Mass exodus
I am pro vax but anti mandate. If there is a mandate, there will be a mass exodus all at once and it will have major impact to basic operations of this company. I have spoken to multiple colleagues who are planning to leave if they don’t allow... — read more
V@cksine Mandate: stand strong
To those who feel that injecting something into your body is a personal decision, not to be sanctioned by one's employer: stand strong To those who wish to take this injection on your own time, not under threat of income/job loss: stand strong To... — read more
Overworked, Under-Valued, Not Appreciated
Working at Anthem has taken its toll on me. 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 if... — read more
Ethics Reporting. Has anyone had success?
I am questioning the Ethics reporting process. I made a report and getting follow up is becoming extremely difficult. What about the Ethics Survey? Does Anthem EVER take action? Many associates have experienced racism and a manager very clearly made... — read more
Vaccine mandate termination
Has anyone seen any movement towards terming staff who are not vaccinated?
Nothing says Well Oiled Machine like calling a meeting and then…crickets
My calendar has a Quarterly All-Associate Town Hall meeting scheduled for today. Nothing but dead air.
Time to strike?

Job performance
It’s in my best interest to improve my job performance, but that seems like a mission impossible. How to improve job performance when you have more and more work to do almost every day? The quality of work is inevitably deteriorating.
Imagine
Imagine ignoring natural immunity and mandating a vaccine that puts your employees with prior infection at risk and for no reason. An antibody test confirms protection. It is negligent not to offer that as an alternative. You talk the talk; it’s... — read more

Artificial intelligence and reorganisation
Wonder what is behind all this, the unspoken, ominous mystery.
New Hire Opportunity (VP Level Or Above)
I hear Samir Rao, Chief Operating Officer of Ozy Media, is looking for a new job. Anthem IT leadership should do whatever necessary to recruit him. He has demonstrated the type of skills and ethics that are highly prized in our organization and he... — read more
There'll be no better time to quit then right now
And yet I'm still too scared to take that final step. I have a feeling I'll be stuck here forever and it'll only be my own fault.
What that Customer Service Week Email Should Say
"Thanks for all the service you do for our customers, and our stock options! As each of you die a little inside every day, our pockets get lined just a little bit more! Just know that in 5 years our CEOs and uppers will get to retire while you slave... — read more
People Leaders?
People Leaders? Is that really what we're referring to managers and directors as now? Sounds like something that you'd hear coming out of China. The company probably paid some consulting firm a few million to come up with that after a 9 month... — read more
Look at the other Health Insurance posts...
No one is complaining at the rate anthem employees are and they have much LARGER employee sizes. Huge red flag.
Trying to keep my job
I have become very anxious since rumors appeared that there could be cuts before the end of the year. I work hard, I try to do my best because I really care about keeping my job here for a while longer. It doesn’t matter what I think of the company... — read more
Understanding Anthem
It’s true other places in health insurance can suck but I think the problem with anthem is different. There is too much generational power, almost zero internal innovation, and a very strict grip by leadership on personal development( due to power... — read more
When your health deteriorates, then it's too late!
I wish that I started looking for a new job before I began to manifest psychosomatic ailments suffered from stress here. Unfortunately, this company never has enough, it doesn't stop squeezing people till the end. It would be interesting to... — read more
Anthem - get it together, what is kept hidden always finds a way to the light
I left Anthem after 7 years. I have over 20 years of Configuration experience and I still question how configuration is to be completed for Medicare. The department I was a part of, was extremely chaotic. More time was spent trying to get the... — read more
Good old times
I can’t believe this is now a company I used to love working for and where I stayed even though I once had the opportunity to move to another company for a better job. And what does that loyalty mean to me now? Nothing. To have to look at obvious... — read more
More cuts
Are we looking at more cuts any time soon?
Are other health insurance companies much better?
For some it is much better, but I also know a few people who have regretted leaving here because in other companies they also have issues, just a little different.
I'm looking for a way out
I have to say, I'm not encouraged by what I've been seeing. There are lots of open positions but none offer decent pay and especially benefits. I can see why most of them stay open for a while, who'd want to accept something like that? Luckily, I'm... — read more

Why is everything a mess in this company?
I worked for the company I left because it was very disorganized, and then I came to Anthem where the situation is even worse. Why does everything here have to be such a mess? Is there a way for things to get better?
Everyone is talking about vaccines..
Will you get your vaccine if FDA approved? the thread shows that now everyone is obsessed with the vaccines, as if other problems in this company do not exist. I respect everyone's concerns, but at the moment I don't get to think about vaccination... — read more
Trying to add more to my plate
Unbelievable. I have been getting more and more work for months now. As if that wasn't enough, I got even more yesterday. Those who work hard are in the worst position here. If you work hard, you will get more work to do. When is it enough? Is this... — read more
Post Anthem stress
How long did it take you to forget about this ridiculous company? I wasn’t happy with many things, but it wasn’t until after I left here that it became clear to me how terrible this place had been. I've been in a new company for a month now and... — read more
This needs to stop, now
I'm sick and tired of certain management members being allowed to use bullying and intimidation as a management method day in, day out without any repercussions. It's destroying morale and affecting productivity. I was considering approaching HR... — read more
