#townhall

I was hoping for more answers but it was good to see who our new CEO is and he seemed okay. Any other opinions?

Wow what a bunch of useless fluff. They do not sound positive about the future at all. Pete is giving me bad vibes. He’s basically blaming everyone else for Carelon problems.

Hearing rumours of a “snarkety” question that was asked…what was it?

Well I expect zero useful information at the Townhall tomorrow. Anyone else agree?

Round table w director after Q4 business update. Few months in advance so what could this mean?

Does anyone have any insight? Management has sent numerous emails encouraging the team to attend. Management has never cared in the past about Town Halls!

So according to our CMO, we don’t need to worry about the presence report any more - she seemed surprised at how much people couldn’t stand it. And market based culture is just about focusing on the customer, not Amazon-style rank and yank sweatshop BS - he barely ever used the word customer in his screed. There does not seem to be a lot of alignment here.

What a waste of time!
A large portion of the people team is remote and will be laid off. Why can’t we ask real questions instead of the pre-programmed questions about AI?
Shannon says “we cannot communicate too much”. Yet, when it comes to the issues that truly impact the people on the People team, she stays very tight-lipped

Did anyone else feel let down by the office strategy announcement at the town hall? Aside from the Foster City remodel, there was no mention of other locations and no clarity on how teams will be impacted. They skipped over all the submitted questions. With this and the AI hype, all signs point to more people losing jobs.
