Rinse and repeat
I thought we were done with layoffs. Is this the normal tactic for Anthem? Get rid of employees, post open positions, hire, wait a few weeks then rinse and repeat? I mean, there were layoffs last week (and from the look of it even some this one) and... — read more

Posts disappearing
Why are posts getting deleted when they are not breaking any of the rules of this site? Where did the offshoring comments go?!
Gig workers?
I didnt listen to the entire town hall but is Anthem really going to try to normalize corporate gig workers? As in workers with no benefits? Like no health benefits? Seems like there may be a flaw in that plan.

Legato
Looking at Legato's job postings, are they (a company handling US data) seriously using Indian resources for Claims and US tax information? I thought IT outsourcing was bad enough. HOW has the media not reported on this?
