HCSC is now being managed by Manika and others with some ideology that they are bent on. It is not business. It is ideology. Maurice was an incrediblely smart business person back in the day, but he too has succumbed to this cr-p. Hcsc used to be... — read more 

Manika says we have to be on camera when we wfh.

Will it be in September or sooner?

Who the heck is impersonating an HCSC employee? I mean- who would want this job that old Mounjaro Monika has to send out an email about being on camera?

Treating people well isn't complicated. When you respect employees, they stay and contribute. Mistreat people and it brings everyone and everything down, including productivity. Why can't leadership figure this out?

The air is terrible here in Chicago. Why haven't they closed the offices?! They care about our health right? Nope, swipe that badge!

Got the rug pulled from under us, no longer going to be working from home full-time, actually need to be in the office more of the time. Union apparently knew about this and didn’t object. Maurice is a clown.

Demotions?

I was thinking of switching to an HSA next enrollment. Are we allowed to transfer our funds from the employer-sponsored HSA to a different service provider (like Fidelity)? I've never had an HSA so I was curious about the process.

A major reorganization is coming for the SPSE team. Leadership is unhappy that too many employees don’t have clearly defined responsibilities or measurable deliverables.

Has anyone else noticed that half the leadership in TX SAM has left in the last year? What is going on over there??

Purely speculation…email domains are all moving to @hcsc.net…leased offices were being weird about blue branded items when they closed…there’s more emphasis on HCSC everywhere you look. BCBSA got hit with a huge class action settlement. Could HCSC... — read more 

But knowing how many of our jobs are being offshored - and not just at HCSC - it's a bit hard to feel all that patriotic.

I noticed some changes in the Customer Service area. I think that the main guy that came from Cigna, a VP in Customer Service, is no longer with HCSC. Is this a one off thing? Or is the trend now to replace leadership coming from Cigna with HCSC... — read more 

How long before we open the inevitable offshore “service center” to replace all the offices we just shut down with cheap foreign labor? I give it 18 months tops.

Or am I dreaming

Or everyone is leaving voluntarily in the worst job market ever. Which one could it be

Why is no one talking about all the org changes today effective July 1 impacting Medicare? Anyone think this will lead to yet more layoffs?

Anyone else get a meeting invite for this week that is vague? I received one but others on my same dept didn’t. I’m wondering if it’s a layoff

Given the recent push to AI.

"Ordering people back to the office full time is a power and status move. It's a signature strategy of leaders who exhibit narcissistic qualities, Adam Grant, Marissa Shandell and Courtney Elliott write. "They see any kind of remote work as a threat... — read more 

Anyone else attending these BS development days? They seem to offer nothing of value. On one hand they tell us to up skill and to shoot fly the stars, even though you need to have a buddy up top to climb the ladder. On the other hand the are low key... — read more 

Do you know when do we lose system access if we're laid off? The moment we're notified or at a later time?

Is it over yet

How many of us will remain and in what capacity?

The people I thought were untouchable are gone, while others seem to survive every reorganization without a scratch. After a while you start wondering if doing great work matters less than knowing who to keep happy and when to keep your opinions to... — read more 

Who will be out???

Stephen and co. seemed to balance negatives with positives effectively (e.g. being selected as a Medicaid MCO for IL but also losing membership over the next several years.) Have layoffs settled? Anything we should expect?

Does anyone have access to read this article on HCSC executive salaries? Would love to know what Milton the master of Puppets gets for being on the board. I’m sure it’s far more than what most board members get. We already know poor Maurice and... — read more 

I wonder who else will follow their lead https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/15/centene-to-offer-buyouts-to-some-employees.html

I heard last week the company is throwing money at expanding IF&M under a new brand name (Healthsprings) so they can compete against other blues in the Obamacare space. Is that actually happening??? Isnt IF&M already a failing market??? Why would... — read more 

Highly recommend Incorruptible by Eric Ries. Then again- our leadership is too obtuse to actually see themselves in it. We would rather ask Maurice his favorite ice cream.

Can anyone confirm if the Quincy office is indeed closed, and all the employees that were retained are now working from home? Also, was the requirement to live within a certain number of miles from an office removed as well?

What’s the long-term plan now that BH has been split into divisions to align more with PH. Any redundant staff? Or will it remain separate, but just under new leadership?

We will be no exception. Make sure you're prepared for when it happens, because this will be one situation when finding something new will be nearly impossible, with all the workers flooding the job market.

Building on Alexander is closing June 15, 2026. All but a few are WFH with a handful going to HQ. Is this a simple move, shift or is there layoffs headed our way?

Can you imagine inheriting a team, firing or bullying them all out, hiring a new team by yourself and have them all fired or leave within 18 months? There has to be a trend and it can't be the fault of the 11 people fired or left under her

Anyone negatively impacted by office closures? What is your management saying? Feel like they are preparing for something with all of this unprompted change

Anyone know who is hiring these days.

It makes HCSC look stupid. Just wow. A healthcare company that doesn't sweat the details when communicating with 30 million people. Stupid.
