I haven’t been here long enough to see the changes that everyone has been talking about or to see how terrible it’s become. For me, it's always been like this. This is the normal Anthem. The work environment s—s, layoffs happen and it’s not a... — read more
Work , life balance?
We dont hear much about this these days. Early Mornings. Meetings throughout the day ( so you cant get anything done in 'normal' business hours.) Working late into the evenings, weekends and holidays, problem is its expected from us. Until they get... — read more
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
Anthem is Awesome!
I know some may say different but, this is the place to work! Granted we’re going through a pandemic but, so is everyone else. Anthem2021.
Optimistic Earnings = Layoffs
Started layoffs on 02/04 and running through 02/12 as first wave layoffs begin.
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

Idolize the oppressor?
from another post I left in March on my own , right after the AIP had cleared my back account , no notice, just resigned. With what I have followed on this forum, I would have been clipped soon after my most excellent exodus. No regrets here.. .. — 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
Anthem executives forces employees to work long hours to compensate for Poor infastructure
Anthem executives would rather make employees work hard and dumb rather than hard and smart so that the responsibility will always lie on their shoulders to deliver results. That's why you see some positions work 60 Hrs and some work 40 for the same... — 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
Is Anthem only for mediocre employees?
Serious question. Please answer honestly.
C-Level Executives are Very Dangerous
I have a great job. I'm considered very valuable but I can tell my VP three levels above me is annoyed by me. Basically the issue with anthem, is that these executives operate as if it's beneath themselves to communicate to you directly to fix... — read more
Onshore FTEs blocked from reporting overtime worked in new time keeping tool
Has anyone else heard about onshore FTEs being blocked from recording overtime worked in the new reporting tool, but the offshore Legato workers are being told to record 45 hour work weeks. What's up with that? Another tactic to cover themselves... — read more

Are there any RIFs coming up this month? If so what areas.
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
Remember When..
Gail said we were going to reduce rework, and then they hired even more people from overseas? She's such a jokester!
COVID Vaccines and Executives
After laying off thousands due to COVID, how many executives will use the savings to skip the line and get vaccinated. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-12-18/wealthy-patients-scramble-covid-19-vaccine
“Wellness Day”
Anyone else get the email about the Wellness Day (New Year’s Eve, “company wide holiday”) only to be told today we can take it as a floating holiday between Jan - March, as it’s kinda sorta suggested that we work on our “Wellness Day”?
How ya'all doing out there?
California is pretty much shut down. Stay safe, healthy and make wise decisions. Holiday and New Year blessings..
Anyone get their RIF notifications today?
Just wondering if there was a round today , like most Thanksgivings people are served their notices
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

Culture conversations are out of touch!
If they want to talk about culture, stop with the psychological therapist junk. These are the culture talks we need: Forcing long term wfh people back in the office. Why? What reason do you have beyond your own paranoia about people not doing... — read more
