No FTE opportunities, management is.. aloof
15 year death spiral
I never seen it so bad after 15 years with the company. The pressure on our team to perform without tools and resources with no backfills in critical areas. Now voluntary retirement will have tenured people walking out the door and then we will... — read more
Hiring freeze
Why aren't we backfilling any positions? I'm talking about desperately needed people for us to be able to function normally. Is there a hiring freeze I don't know about?
WFH Positions Being Eliminated?
Anyone have details on WFH positions being eliminated via a RTO policy coming down from on high?
I’m so tired of not knowing what comes next
I barely manage to drag myself to the office every day, already exhausted by the fact that everyone else is in the same situation. We are all equal parts demoralized and worried about our jobs. I just wish this were already over so we could at least... — read more
Office Renovation
If Cigna is in such financial straits, why are they leasing more office space and spending millions upon millions of dollars renovating offices that nobody wants to be in? Make it make sense, please!
Any idea when layoffs might start?
The latest rumor was sometime in January, and that they could be massive. Has anyone heard any updates?
Timing
I was told that any movement is targeted to be finalized by end of Q1. Does anyone have dates or any other info?

Wonder if anyone else noticed the VRP related dates there?

I am reminded that we each have a little Karl Marx in us. For someone who is far from a Marx fan, let alone apologist, something inside kinda understands his view point. How could I not in a world where there will soon be a trillionaire, and we are... — read more
Insights Survey
Did I miss it? They didn't mention it during the Town Hall at all. Hmm...
How’s your department doing right now? Here’s what I see in “Marketing.”
The marketing function has become a factory for titles, acronyms, and unaccountable “strategy” that fails the only test that matters: measurable impact on claims, utilization, and outcomes. Too much work is optimized for decks, meetings, and vanity... — read more
Why does Cigna pay like a small company?
Or am I the only unlucky one to be severely underpaid?
It’s irrational in the current economy, but I want out
I’m beyond burnt out. I literally can’t stand coming to work anymore. Three years here have felt like ten at other companies in terms of exhaustion, energy drain, toxicity, and the headspin from constant gaslighting. I just can’t do it anymore. I’d... — read more
Happy Holidays

So what’s the deal with VRP?
Some rumors say there won’t be any at all, others say it’ll be offered across multiple orgs before layoffs hit. Can anyone actually confirm which is true?
Whats in the VRP?
What’s in the VRP? I’m 55 so do I get access to my 401k without penalty? What about stock? 2 weeks for every year of service? Are they gonna sweeten the deal?

CIGNA Layoffs 2026
Do you predict that there will be CIGNA layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
VRP company-wide would be great
If leadership is planning massive layoffs, which they are, this would be a good way to start. I’d take it without a second thought, and I imagine plenty of others would too.
Hiring all overseas will be their nail in the coffin
When i get a task sent back to me with a foreign name I already know its going to be a disaster. Customers constantly complain about the foreigners they cant even understand and the sublevel competence they provide. When will Cigna stop offshoring... — read more
Getting tired of being blamed for management's mistakes
Lately, it seems that every project that goes off track is suddenly my fault. I was just following the plans and deadlines THEY approved. It’s frustrating to get a bad review for problems I clearly didn’t create. This pattern is getting really old... — read more
Are layoffs coming as soon as 1/7?
I’ve been hearing this date mentioned frequently. Can anyone confirm?
Timing of 2026 layoffs?
Do we have an idea of timing for this “leaner workforce”? Will it be slow throughout the year or a big hit in January?
A few more cuts and this place will fall apart
And no, AI will not save the day. Even if it could, why would any of us, actual human beings who need jobs, be happy about that?
Thoughts about the Dec. 16 town hall?
Here’s what I got out of it: 1) There is a new corporate strategy called Lead to One that is about focusing more on the consumer and personalization. (Every 5 years we claim we’re now going to focus on the consumer, but don’t actually make any of... — read more
Brian Evanko - "Expect lower headcount in 20026 that what Cigna has today"

New hire anxieties
I joined Cigna just a few months ago, and I have learned that layoffs are a constant and there’s a new round always looming. I am worried that being one of the newest people puts me at the top of the list. Hoping someone can explain if this is the... — read more
What's going on with management lately?
I've been here for years, and the last couple have been rough. I've had three different managers in a short time, and each one seems less prepared than the last. It really makes me question how they're choosing people for these positions now. The... — read more

12/4 Layoffs
What areas are expected to be impacted this week?
No one at leadership seems to understand what is happening on the ground
Every task is marked urgent, but planning is almost nonexistent, and the list of measurables keeps growing. Cuts leave teams stretched beyond capacity. The constant message is just to be grateful you still have a job. Keeping operations moving under... — read more
