Like the title says. The calendar lists tomorrow as a date.
Flatten this mess
Our org chart looks like a game of Tetris gone wrong. Layers of managers who’ve never done the work dictating how it’s done. Meanwhile, actual contributors hit approval roadblocks daily. Get us out of this mess! You can get rid of layers and layers... — read more
Be honestly
I see my team in Cigna is the greatest and best team I ever had been working with. Just hope it keeps going for a long time. Good luck to all!
ChatGPT
I thought using ChatGPT wasn't allowed at Cigna? I've been working with someone in CIP on a small project and the emails he sends to us are clearly generated by ChatGPT... No clear editing... AI detector always says 100% written by AI. Are these... — read more

I need to thank Cigna
It got so bad that it finally pushed me to leave the corporate world and all the toxicity and start my own business. My goal is building something that actually values employees. I'm so tired of watching good people get chewed up by corporate... — read more
Unsure
Does Cigna typically gut legacy departments in acquisitions? I am experiencing major mixed signals and unsure if my team is getting fired with the restructure or not. There are golden handcuffs due to sign on and retention bonuses. Not sure if... — read more
Can someone explain how Noelle messed things up
I work in a production role that was under her umbrella and I think I’m not high enough in the food chain to understand what is looming. Anyone with info on her projects and what is to be of them would be greatly appreciated Sincerely, An Anxious... — read more
Verint Supervisor with Windows 11 Update
Saw this during the update. Not in a production. Anyone know how this is implemented? Probably always been monitored - anyone use this and know more about it?
Company culture feels so unstable these days
I’ve seen it flip overnight depending on the overall mood of those on top, especially when budgets get tight. At this point, I don’t even trust it to stay consistent. And it's been affecting morale. People are tired of it all.

Life After Cigna
I worked at Cigna for a decade and planned to retire from the company. I didn’t realize how negatively the job was impacting me until I voluntarily left. I held multiple roles across the company in my tenure. Upon reflection, the place was not... — read more
Layoff or launchpad?
Like many of you, I was caught off guard by the layoff—just an hour’s notice via email. I had been with the company for less than two years and was shocked to learn that not only I, but also my manager, director, and several support teams were let... — read more
HEDIS teams are next
HEDIS teams are next on the chopping block. Start looking.
PBMs and Congress
So...no one on the ES side is nervous about the beating PBMs are taking in Congressional hearings? Lots of strong rhetoric coming about PBM greed and needing to be broken up. Been crickets in here about it.
Forcing us out in Coaching
I’ve loved my job in coaching for nearly ten years and would have retired here. Now we’re being told we will get letters that our jobs are disappearing and can accept a new job but is taking all calls on a queue including crisis calls. Teams of... — read more

Be sure and sign the card and don't forget to pass it along - it's an anchor day so no excuses! Cake will be served in the breakroom at 3:30. If you have a funny story or a cute memory we will be sharing those during this time.
How did DP enjoy the days as interim CIO?
Is it possible to become the full time permanent CIO? Work harder, nobody cares!
Lawsuits?
Any other Cigna MA employees considering suing Cigna Corp or HCSC for the deceptive about the entire deal?! We were demoted and replaced by DEI hires because HCSC was too insecure about the talent that actually leads the business they acquired. If... — read more

Please, think about your future
I get the urge to make a dramatic exit when you land a new job. Trust me, I’ve been tempted too. But think twice before ghosting or blowing up at your boss on the way out. You never know when you might need a reference, or even find yourself... — read more

On Evernorth
# Themes from the Cigna / Evernorth Layoff Thread ## Poor Communication & Cold Delivery A recurring theme is deep dissatisfaction with how the layoffs were communicated. Many employees were blindsided, receiving short-notice invites and impersonal... — read more
Relax
I think we all should just relax at this point. It’s really stressful to be on here worrying about layoffs & then arguing about it. We are all on the same team!! I wish I never knew about this site but it’s addicting!! It’s terrible for our mental... — read more

How do severance payments work?
Legacy ESI employee here. I know years ago when someone was RIF’d, their severance was paid biweekly and was contingent on them still being unemployed. In other words, if they got another job before their severance “time” ran out, the payments... — read more
