Do you remember your first day here?

I don’t even remember why I applied for this job at all? At the time I couldn’t even imagine what it would look like a few years later. Honestly, from this perspective, I hate the day I came here because I was considering another option, which was... — read more 

Any word on AIP?

Has anyone heard how AIP funding levels look for this year?

Layoff before retirement

I understand it’s all business and money, but laying off people who are about to retire? I’ve heard that some of them were only a few months away from retirement but they were still laid off. What are these people going to do now? Is Anthem doing so... — read more 

Anthem Cares Too Much?

Awesome company that has brought unity within as the pandemic continues here in 2021. Can’t say enough great things!

Hiding behind the Pandemic

Employees who seriously think Covid is the cause for the troubles we’re going through need a reality check. The frequent changes in upper management didn’t just start in 2020. The fact that there is no room for career growth didn’t spawn overnight... — read more

What happened?

Years ago when I joined Anthem it was one of the better places to work for in our industry. Now it's a place everybody is looking to leave as soon as they can. How did we get to this point? When did the leadership team start thinking employees are a... — read more

Sadly, this is how you survive at Anthem

Positions within the company are all political. To survive you have to know someone important that likes you. Too late for me, they laid all those folks off. The 2nd way to survive is to stay low and quiet. Working hard to impress means more work... — read more

How to survive in Anthem

Always look for a new job after one year. Only apply to jobs you know you have a good chance at getting- otherwise if your boss knows about it and you don't get the job- you'll be on the yearly layoff list. Never go to Anthem HR to complain-... — read more

C-Level Executives are Very Dangerous

GBD layoffs

So, now that the "new" Medicaid sites are being launched (with some hacked-together coding because the requirements and time crunches were ridiculous and leadership didn't understand the product or know what they were doing), when do you expect the... — read more

This makes little sense

We are having major attrition in the middle of a raging pandemic at the end of the year when nobody is hiring. Imagine how bad of an employer do you have to be to have people walking out under these conditions? And of course, we are not hiring... — read more
