Full US Food and Dr-g Administration approval of the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine is "imminent." A Biden administration official said approval of the two-dose vaccine "could be as early as Monday."
The worse team ever
Idk about anyone else but the NEW YORK claims team does NOT help with growth. They have their picks believe me. They don’t want to train you but tell you that you should know certain things. If I wasn’t trained on Medicare/Medicaid why would you tell... — read more
Anthem has a serious brain drain problem
A good number of the best people are leaving and nobody seems to care. I watch daily as knowledge and experience walk away and instead of trying to keep them, the upper management is happy they are saving money on their pay without having to pay them... — read more
What is the Purpose of managers
When the system(s) are down, why aren’t the managers sending out emails? Pretty sure if PULSE or pulse apps are down it should be an email going out. That’s why inventory is a hot mess.

Why 40% of Americans are about to quit their jobs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lViJ1ejCfc Starting to see why Anthem wont keep talent around much longer!
Wanna know how we were appreciated?
The CEO made billions and we got $5 Amazon gift cards as a thanks. This company is 🗑. I didn’t even apply that to my account. It was an insult. Humana and UHC pays MORE!
Is it really necessary to be so bureaucratic?
After four years here, I can say that formalities are one of my most hated things at Anthem. I completely agree with the one who said that bureaucracy is the art of making the possible impossible. I love order, but the bureaucracy in Anthem is really... — read more
What do you think is destroying morale?
What do you think is destroying morale? A major factor would be office politics. It definitely feels like we’re playing “Survivor.” Build alliances but you still need to watch your back while screwing over the next guy. It seems to be what I am... — read more
Shock for the system
That’s how someone here once described a situation where an employee who worked hard for several people left Anthem. A real tectonic disturbance was felt when a colleague left. I don't understand how Anthem can allow itself such shocks for the... — read more
How not to repeat the experience from Anthem?
What's the first thing you look at when looking for a new job opportunity? It is impossible to find the ideal company. It may be possible to find one that best suits your priorities. I'm getting out of here as soon as possible and I got an offer... — read more
Internal Interview
I am scheduled for an internal interview but not sure I want to inform my manager though it's company policy. I am afraid of retaliation incase I am not selected for the new position.
Layoffs are not the end of the world…
I see lots of worries and had to perform some layoffs before I was hit as well. It hurts me to see that managers have to perform weekly cultural meeting while seeing that none of it actually applies. For those who are consistently worried, my... — read more
Balance sheet
This company is like any other big business where Executive Leadership sees us as an expense and nothing more. They look at us and consider ways to make fast improvements mostly in headcount. That’s what it comes down too. Staying is fine, everyone... — read more
Why should I bother?
With all the cuts, all the promotions based on anything but merit, all the micromanagement and constantly deteriorating culture I'm having problems staying motivated. If my hard work will bring me nothing else but more work, then why should I bother... — read more
I expect my vacation not to be ruined...
I hope there will be no new layoffs soon (?), but no one is ever safe around here. That's why I worry if I'll get notice while on vacation, and the situation is so tense that it wouldn't surprise me at all. Of course it’s tense because we’re... — read more
Specialty Division
I heard most of the Account Managers were RIFed in Specialty.
Offshore with PHI
Who does this?!!!! Why are they trusting INDIA to handle PHI? I hope they get the biggest breach….after I leave soon. She just paid a hefty settlement for a breach. Just look at the customer reviews. They’ll keep customer service here so it seems... — read more
They just solved my dilemmas
The last layoffs solved the dilemmas that I had for a long time and that is whether to look for another opportunity or to stay here a little longer? I’m sure many more people decided to leave voluntarily after seeing how they cut some of the best... — read more
A happy employee is a good (and productive) employee
"We need to take a very long-term view in which we see employees as the human capital of our society, an investment to be valued rather than a cost to be depreciated." Read this quote by Faith Wohl today and it really resonates. Anthem sees us as... — read more
Don't get stuck
I know people who were laid off months ago and are still unemployed because they are looking for a job that resembles what they used to do here as much as possible. I think many will keep waiting unless they broaden their horizons and start looking... — read more
So tired
The worst thing for me is that I know that all these efforts go unnoticed, because no one cares that you are a hard worker. Every day I am totally exhausted because the amount of work I need to do cannot be done by one person. If I changed things and... — read more
The results of the associate engagement survey..
Is proof that Gail and friends can make even a tu-d seem pretty with enough gold paint!
23 years of service, no matter
2 years shy of retirement, 23 years of service to this company, worked many overtime hours (salary but still overtime) and they toss you off as if you are nothing. Thanks a lot. This used to be a great company to work for back in the day. Great... — read more
Those who intend to apply for one of those 14 positions...
I hope they won't do it...
Do they have any motivation other than greed?
Now I see that I have long idealized this company. I’m still here, I haven’t been laid off, but it’s enough to see what the company has done to my colleagues and for me it’s a big warning sign not to put in any more effort and to get out of here as... — read more
FastForward
Anthems latest scheme is laying off huge waves of employees after a toxic director brought the whole care management support area to its knees. They brought in a hatchet man as a contractor which turned immediately into a full time job, given to him... — read more
Isn't it strange, Joe Swedish signs a deal with IBM gets a spot on the Board, Gail is taking it to the next level, wonder what IBM has promised
Joe Swedish gets paid 330K a year to meet 4 times a year. Look at all of those board members they sold their companies down the road to IBM and then they get a job. I know its part of the game....it still sucks for the employees left behind to pick... — read more
Anthem has taken on a bullying organizational culture
No answers about layoffs, but some of you may feel validated seeing Anthem's culture reflected in Wikipedia's entry about Workplace Bullying. I didn't know a whole organization could have a bullying culture, but here we are. ... — read more
Vaccine
So how many have gotten the jab? Do you think pressure will come for associates to get vaccine since we lead in healthcare? I think so. I don’t want vaccine. I am aware I am in the minority and I know my time here will end if they demand a vaccine to... — read more
I'm not worried
At this point, being laid off could be considered a favor. I haven't been happy here for a long time. Everything that was once good about this place has changed to the point of unrecognizable. Now we have a toxic work environment that punishes hard... — read more
Position of Anthem in insurance industry?
Sometimes I feel ashamed in front of people from other companies in this industry to say that I work at Anthem because now everyone already knows how bad this place is. It is tragic that there are still many very talented people working here who... — read more
Who will be the target?
No one seems to have more detailed insights on who the target groups will be and how many people will be affected? I am prepared, but I am still tormented by all the anxiety created by uncertainty. The feeling of uncertainty is worse to me than the... — read more
Experiences after layoff?
I'm happy I got laid off. I thought I would never say that, but since I got laid off here, I’ve never been happier. Great relief. No more stress, no more overload, there is no more toxic manager who is always ready to ruin someone's day. I didn't... — read more
