I wish they did. I've been wanting to quit for a while, but I'm still looking for an alternative. Severance would help me get by while I fully focus on my job search.
Unable to sleep
Is anybody else here with me at 1 am because they got tired of tossing and turning and just gave up on sleep? I don't remember the last time I was this stressed.
Are we really having no clue about tomorrow?
How many people? Which areas? Nothing? As someone before me wrote, it’s eerily quiet today. I can’t believe nobody has at least some ideas or heard some rumors about how layoffs may look like. I didn’t, and I find it strange and unusual. This is, in... — read more
Does anyone have the scoop on Thursday’s festivities?
Is it still on? How big are we thinking this round will be?
Data and Analytics
Heavy recruitments happening in HIH, no new projects, supporting existing ones , recycling techs from one tool to other. That’s basically what has been happening since quite some time. The amount of churn just to move from one data source to another... — read more
Can you get laid off while on maternity leave?
I hope so. The thought of having to come back in a few weeks, even if it’s just while looking for a new job, makes me want to die. Having a couple months off really highlited how much of my soul has been eroded from working here. At the beginning of... — read more
Any chatter about next week?

The Future is Now
I happened to notice that "Future of Work" has been rebranded to "In Person Presence" on Iris. I didn't notice any changes to the requirements, so this must be purely for imaging. Another fail. It was, is, and always will be horsesh-t, no matter... — read more
Sep 12 is around the corner- any updates?
Just wondering, being 7 days out I am sure managers/someone would have heard something now about potential layoffs. Who might be affected?
It was about time to abandon Cigna
With all layoffs and increased offshoring, I decided not to stick around anymore. Looked for another job for a couple of months, and found a decent replacement. I’m supposed to start in two weeks. Guys, leave this place. There’s no future in Cigna... — read more

Layoffs update
I’m new to Cigna, and I don’t know yet how things are done here. I’m just hearing all the time about September layoffs, yet nobody can say anything for certain. Anyone have any information? I heard that some people were laid off on Friday. I don’t... — read more
Avoid Cigna like the plague
The ELT is only interested in their bonuses and they couldn't care less about the company as a whole or employees. Talented people are leaving in droves just to get away from here.
Evernorth's Move to Hyderabad
The opening of the Hyderabad office, along with the fact that the role names are different compared to U.S. job titles, signals that Evernorth (and by proxy Cigna) are looking to lay of US employees (through job elimination) and move these jobs... — read more
Who determines who gets laid off?
The people who were affected from my team in the last two layoffs made no sense to me. We have a good manager, and I am positive that it couldn't have been her idea to get rid of some of our highest performers. Which makes me wonder, who is... — read more
MA leadership
Who thinks MA will actually make it to the sale given how it’s falling apart horribly in the SNP world and most likely all over. The most inefficient incompetent leadership I’ve ever seen running this plan. Wow! How is this being allowed? Who hired... — read more
Look for other opportunities
I managed to pull myself out of Cigna’s clutches. I was once putting a lot of effort into doing my job well. I wanted to prove to myself and the others that I was good at what I do. In exchange I got nothing, but experienced a lot of anxiety and... — read more
I know layoffs are scary
I understand that the majority of us can’t afford to lose the job and that’s the most important reason we endure in the jobs we have. This may sound callous given the reality of job dependence, but one should be happy to be let go from this ugly and... — read more
The Rise Of Fake Job Listings
There is a recent video from news outlet CNBC about the rise of ghost jobs. These are fake job listings that companies list with no intention of hiring. Cigna is guilty of doing this as I have seen several listing for jobs and no manager or director... — read more
I got lucky
Being laid off was a gift to my mental health. If you're still at Cigna, trust me when I tell you that layoffs are nothing to be afraid of. It's hard to land at a place with a more toxic culture and work environment. My new job helped me see that the... — read more
What’s happening with threads?
Did anyone notice that as soon as any thread comes up regarding HIH or offshoring in general, they’re quickly deleted? Who’s moderating this site? I’ve noticed 2 threads deleted recently, but I’m sure there’s been more — read more
Any updates about Sept layoffs?
Too many rumors going around to be about nothing. And even if there were no rumors, it’s reasonable to expect there will be bloodbath soon. Most big companies are in a cost-cutting frenzy, falling for AI hype and/or planning more offshoring. They... — read more
SNP Case Management Support Group

How is Cigna tracking hybrid employees
Zscaler? ID?
Good that reorgs improved org and management
I’m sarcastic, ofc. Just pointing out that it’s getting worse every time. One thing I learned over the years is not to care how badly Cigna is organized and managed, how much work is left after layoffs, and how much work pops up all the time due to... — read more
9/12 is supposed to be BIG - How big?
Can anyone put some real numbers to this whether estimate or approximate? Specifically speaking to those "in the know". The person who says the JE calendar is real and they have it - does your calendar have a game plan as to 9/12 is x% of work... — read more
The Why?
We all know it happening. Can anyone outline the WHY it is happening? There has been speculation that fines were imposed due to algorithm’s denying claims inappropriately, the need to inflate DCs stock portfolio, need to staff India, and other such... — read more
Over-employment at Cigna is rampant
I am feeling overwhelmed because I am having to do extra work for my co-workers who seem to be taking advantage of the situation at Cigna. It's frustrating because I've been picking up their slack. I think Cigna's management should conduct a thorough... — read more
ANXIETY AND TOXIC CULTURE - ELT WILL HAVE TO ANSWER

How bad is it?
I’ve been hearing more areas have been affected. Can we at least count on Thursday and done? No surprises tomorrow?
Don’t ever clean up others’ mess
To all of us who will be unfortunate to still work here: Don’t pick up work after those who will be laid off; Don’t try to clean up the mess night offshore teams make; Don’t ever do anything outside the scope of your workplace; Don’t ever, ever, be a... — read more

Bereavement leave?
Does anyone know what Cigna’s bereavement leave policy entails? Is it dependent on who passes away in terms of how many days off you get?
After layoff, how soon does Cigna pay out PTO?
Do they pay it out when severance starts, or when severance ends?
50 Mile Radius?
Does anyone know of an employee who lives within a 50 mile radius of an office "as the crow flies" but for driving distance it's more than 50 miles? Sometimes the difference is 10+ miles. Are those people really still forced to come in? Has anyone... — read more

Keep your skills updated
This might be a bad job market, but it's even worse for those whose skills are outdated. There are some available jobs. If you want to even have a chance, don't get complacent. Just my 2 cents.
