Topics regarding layoffs at HCSC (Health Care Service Corporation)

Realignments for former Cigna EEs?

Has anyone heard high level if HCSC will really merge former Cigna EEs or will they continue to be handled very separately? Many teams have yet to be more fully integrated and continue to be referred to as the greens & the blues by upper leadership. — read more 

Offshoring?

Is HCSC is planning to offshore more roles, like phone CAs, in addition to the hiring freeze as well? anyone heard anything on this?

Hiring freeze

Heard today in an “official” meeting that there is a pause on hiring and corporate travel, unless required by a client. Not sure how long that has been in place, but this was announced on a quarterly call in my area. Can anyone confirm if this is... — read more 

RTO

Any locations available outside of the 5 states + Nashville? LA/ NYC, etc?

Upcoming Round of Layoffs

Does anyone have any details on the upcoming layoff? Are they targeting a certain number of people (for example, 10 percent) or is it focused on a cost savings (targeting a certain savings from eliminated salaries)?

Pension

I am new hire. I started two months ago, I heard they have a pension here. Does anyone know how it works? Is it good?

Chairman, ceo, president

So sometime recently, the ceo was named chairman. No news articles, no call out, just hush hush change...seems strange. Thoughts on why it was done and why quietly rather than with an announcement?

Hourly vs salary

Some employees have been moved from salary to hourly recently. Is there a difference in benefits/pension/bonus etc for these employees? What would be the reason for that change?

Three rumors I heard

Leadership is really pushing for full RTO. HR is clamping down on checking swipes, including coffee badging. If your department requires two swipes, i.e. Legal, then both will be monitored. There is a $40 million shortfall. Just rumors... — read more 

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 

FTE - Hiring freeze?

Will there be exceptions, so we can recruit? Anyone from management share insights?

July 1st rumors

Anyone in the know of what exactly is supposed to happen come July 1st? Just a reorg? Or something more? Looks like other Blues plans are rumored to have something happening come July 1st also.

What’s the plan?

We’re coming up on 2 months in, but not a single person from HCSC has spoken a word to us. Half of us were demoted to hourly with no explanation, we can’t get any answers from leadership because they aren’t getting any communication either. There’s... — read more 

Was the Cigna acquisition a mistake?

Whatever synergies were to be gained, seemed to be lost. Communication among the current team and the acquired asset has been disappointing. Corp Strategy is bloated and corp comm seems to be waiting on direction. Can’t unwind, but can cut bait. — read more 

This fu--ing place again

Anyone else wake up today and would rather put a fu--ing bullet in their head than deal with this fu--ing sh-t hole again.

We are stronger if we grow together

In the long run, we all benefit when we adapt and grow together. Take the time to connect with your peers: Do you know what they actually do? What could you learn from them? What could you build together if you stopped comparing and started... — read more 

Anyone hear anything related?

First, I have a friend that works in UM Government Programs and they were recently told of a reorg that will be effective on 07/01/2025. My friend says he will be moved under Medicaid which is not what he currently reviews. They didn’t offer many... — read more 

Does HCSC even want Cigna employees?

Honestly feeling like HCSC doesn’t care that they just acquired thousands of employees. No onboarding except recorded trainings and no opportunities to meet HCSC colleagues? I think they’re trying to get us to leave willingly or they’ve planned the... — read more 

Career progression

I was a part of the sale and I’m curious since this is a new area, if there will be anyway for career progression opportunities in the future at HCSC. I’m the highest level of individual contributor (I have been in healthcare 20 years), but seems... — read more 

HCSC Severance Package

HCSC employees who have experienced a RIF in the past couple of years, what did your severance package look like? Just wondering what to possibly expect should we experience one anytime soon.

Where is Senior Leadership?

Maurice, Arun, Opella and Jill. Where are the leaders? Maurice is MIA, Arun has led and acquisition of a losing business and Jill is being Jill. Jill, you are making money and doing nothing. This is our leadership.

Medicare: who is in charge and what’s the plan?

No information on what the plan is for 2025-2026 yet. Who is in charge of what, who makes decisions, what is this year looking like. Can we at least get some popcorn while we have to wait to see how this unfolds… Any bets on what the new leader... — read more 

Regrets??

What is going on? Is HCSC regretting this sale? There’s been nothing but confusion, Cigna execs leaving, people being fired or moved to random departments and zero communication.

Losing Money?

I heard there is a hiring freeze and the company is not doing well financially. But I also heard there is a very large cash reserve so it doesn’t really matter about the operating losses. I’m nervous about layoffs with this news, especially with... — read more 

Cigna HCSC firings?

Were there people promised to survive the merger that got fired by HCSC? Ive seen conflicting stories so does anyone know if there were firings and if they were on Cignas side or HCSCs?

Insurance info

Transitioning employee here from Cigna. Has anyone heard where we can find insurance cards so we can log into benefit portal?

Welcome Cigna Employees

I want to apologize that some HCSC employees have chosen to handle a challenging day by posting in a less-than-professional manner. That being said, we’re glad to have you here and look forward to learning from you while sharing our own knowledge... — read more
