We knew it was likely coming but DP officially named new CIO. Thoughts? I think it was somewhere here where someone said DP was one of the ones pushing for HIH....

I’m seeing so many people around me planning their exit and talking about how much better it’ll be on the outside, but I keep thinking about the unknowns. Did leaving actually make things better for you, or did you find out later that the grass... — read more 

Rules change constantly, arbitrary metrics pop up with no explanation, and you’re pressured to keep up with it all no matter how much work you already have to deal with. It’s exhausting and feels designed to make people quit. I’ve never seen such a... — read more 

To all folks who have been laid off or know someone who was laid off by Cigna, what were the signs? I’m talking about everything you noticed from management disengagement, anything “off” or not that lead to that last minute meeting This could be... — read more

Dr Brailer is leaving and no public announcement that I kind find. When he joined it was all over the news. Is it a secret? HUM…????

The best move here is to not fill this out, correct?

Any idea when it would be for the next VRP offer? Any change to the eligibility and severance package?

Sale will go through in January.

A couple of managers were let go last year on my larger team. One manager had 2 employees that were let go about 4 months ago. My manager had a team of 5 including myself. One of my colleagues has now been promoted to a senior role. The other 4 of... — read more 

I thought saying yes to everything would keep me safe from layoffs, and now I’m drowning in twice the workload. Cutting back feels impossible without risking everything, and I’m just exhausted. Not sure any of this even helped, so take it from me... — read more 

Not a good look. Its getting a lot of bad mentions on social media. This is probably why they wanted employees to be social media "advocates". (Cue eye roll.) You want regulators and Congress after you, DC? This is the way.

Hi - I'm looking for new opportunities and may consider Cigna. Very few companies seem like great places to work. But it seems like employee dissatisfaction is comparatively low. Any thoughts on taking a job here?

Does anyone with access to the layoff calendar know when the next round of layoffs is happening?

I applied for a job that they are filling due to 3 people taking VRP. Is this a good move? I thought they wanted to cut the workforce, not replace them.

Hi everyone - just curious if anyone else at Cigna signed the VRP and has already been given their departure date. I was told today mine is 9/26 - anyone else joining me on that date?

I used to push myself to know everything and ended up on the edge of burnout. Now that I dial it back, things feel way more manageable. It seems like pretending not to know too much while staying polite keeps the workload under control.

Not a good look... — read more 

You win, Cigna. You win. I'll be out of here as soon as I land a new job. And I'll do my best to make it as soon as possible. Your plan is working. Also, fu-k you.

Another 7 or 8 people from marketing let go this week.

I know this probably isn’t the perfect place to ask, but I can’t get an objective answer from my manager or the directors. I’ve tried, but all I get are vague responses. I’m hoping someone can give me a straight opinion on how to handle this. I’m a... — read more 

Is there an internal hiring freeze? Hardly seeing any posts internally. Any insight on when this will lift? Aren’t we recession / tariff proof?

The thought of starting the whole search process over again is exhausting. I want to leave, I really do, but having to interview at my age is extremely daunting. I'm honestly not sure how to get over it.

All band 4+ employees must plan their succession (replacement) and justify their skills via Workday before the end of the month. Data will be used for more layoffs and offshoring.

The biggest shareholders/stakeholders in Cigna are Blackrock and Vanguard - the same people that own most shares of the food industries, hospitals, and corporate banks! These are the same people that are part of the “swamp” that Trump talks about... — read more

48 minutes in and so far I’m not laid off

Neato! We can now be unpaid shills for the company through our personal social media accounts. And people are apparently doing this? Good God we have some absolute lemmings on payroll.

H1-Bs are a scam and a way for American companies to import cheap, compliant labor. Companies use them to suppress wages for Americans. Many of us have or will be affected. If Trump cancels all H1-Bs, he will become the most popular President we... — read more 

New personal record: I made it a whole three months at Cigna before wanting to run for the hills. Impressive toxicity levels. Congrats, team!

US is putting 25% tariff on India (until he changes his mind of coz) Is that a good news for people living in US ? Will that slow down the HIH recruitment ?

Here is a comment from Yahoo message board. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/CI/community/ More layoffs coming? Institutions were displeased to see that the US commercial membership account number continues to decline. It happens every quarter... — read more 

I don’t find that surprising anymore. The way they achieved a good 2K target in just an year is something. Enbrace for more role transfers to HIH. This time . It is not just engineers, but PM, PO, SM ,BA every single role essentially .

What do you guys make of the changes to the TECDP program that were announced this morning? To me, this seems like a move to slowly ki-l the program and to shift the hiring of new tech grads to HIH instead of from US universities. Also, I’m curious... — read more

What does it mean? For c and a side?

I’m taking the early retirement deal and am curious how many other people are. I’m 56 with 18 years of service and I figure I should take the money while it’s being offered. Things are only going to get worse for those still at Cigna and this way... — read more 

Is there another set layoff date anytime soon? When are the 55+ people who accepted the package leaving? Will they extend the package to younger employees?

Our recent town hall was basically a mandate ti start using the AI tools. I tested it out and came away very unimpressed. Grok and ChatGPT were able to resolve my issue better than 365. I hope I’m on the list of team players now.

New data shows 24% of people laid off between ages 50-65 can't find another job. Those who do? Average 11% pay cut. Men take 15% hits, women 7%. The wait is worse: 55-64 year olds spend 26 weeks unemployed vs 19 weeks for younger workers. Many... — read more
