Supposedly for IT, the mix will be 40% Anthem employees, 30% Legato and 30% from other contracting companies. No idea what current mix is. No idea ETA to achieve this mix.

Anyone who was recently laid off or at risk of getting laid off, do not worry because job market is so hot outside. I was able to get 4 higher paying job offers within a month of getting laid off. Good luck to you all!

Since I’m seeing a lot of salary info thrown around feel free to see how you compare to your peers. Glassdoor is all over the place, so this info may help. It is illegal to prevent sharing of salaries so no worries there. You can round numbers so... — read more 

So, in my division the job postings use to be anywhere WFH. However, the last position posted was within a certain distance from an IT Core. Anybody else heard of this?

Looking at the Severance SPD doc on Pulse and Service Credits were lowered to 1.5 weeks Base Pay (was 2 weeks) p/yr (+) prorate for full weeks completed. VA UE max weekly pay is $378. So Anthem takes your weekly pay - $378 and that's what gets... — read more
