My honest take on working at HCSC
Between the constant cost cutting and the obvious favoritism, this place is tough to navigate. If you're not in with the right people, your work just doesn't seem to matter. Leadership feels disconnected and the culture has turned pretty toxic. I... — read more
2-20 any more layoffs?
Any teams impacted today?
2-19 layoffs?
Anyone hear anything of layoffs in IL and TX? Just had some teammates say they’ve seen folks being escorted out buildings.
Serious Question - how are their so many legacy people here?
I’m about 9 months into HCSC. I heard mixed reviews about the organization before I joined. My immediate team is friendly and professional, but it seems the company as a whole is dysfunctional. There is no accountability and no one really knows... — read more
Consultants Are Back
Spotted getting off on the 16th floor. Eyeroll. Expect them to be paid millions to recommend “cost savings” in RIFs that will never materialize.
I don't know about a layoff of the general employee population, but
I think we'll see leadership changes soon.
5 Days In….. Coming Soon
What percentage of the company will leave in 2026 due to 5 days in. Badge in and badge out coming as well……
Changes
Beware the Ides of March.
Let's just say it out loud!
Hey HR ask these questions on the next survey! Is leadership a meritocracy or a friendship club? Do promotions require performance or proximity? Is feedback only “constructive” when it comes from certain mouths? Are stretch assignments reserved for... — read more
Is it certain that layoffs are done?
No more next week?

Medicare layoffs in 2026
Based on what people are hearing, when do you think layoffs will start for Medicare? We know there may be some with the integration work coming.
Likelihood of VSP
Things have been quiet but we know budgets are still tight and headwinds are only increasing. Something is definitely brewing. How likely is it that they offer a VSP to push out more expensive employees? I recall a post here from a few months back... — read more
41st floor charging for take out containers & glasses for water
Did anyone else notice this?
Ice be dam*ef
Just be sure to “ assess your ability to navigate “ as you drive thru freezing fog and ice tomorrow- gotta get that swipe in. Wish I had a driver like our leadership.
Everyone and their mother is quitting
Lots of people are heading for the exits and I get it. I'd leave too if I could find a similar paying job. Anyone know where they're landing? I need some leads.
New titles and new assignments coming in February
Get ready for new titles and new assignments in multiple divisions in February. Commercial IFM and Medicare impacted.
My work dried up should I worry?
Been here less than a year and now I have almost nothing to do. Boss doesnt care when I ask for more work. Is this how they phase people out before letting them go?
How I know our leaders don’t care about us
Facing a dangerous cold snap that will impact most of the HCSC offices, not a single message was sent from anyone that said “you know what, because we value your health and safety, don’t worry about badging in on Friday. Your wellbeing is our more... — read more
Merit %
What the merit % this year? Is it for everyone or are some groups left out of merit?
3 vs 4 API
What’s the percent different between a 3 and a 4 for API payout?
A 4 rating out of 5 and bonus
I got my review. It was a 4 out of 5 and Ive been here about 4 years. I feel great, but does anybody have experience knowing how much more I can expect to get in my incentive/yearly bonus vs the historical 3s I usually get? I know this is up to... — read more
Same Old Same...
There’s a particular flavor of workplace dysfunction that thrives in Chicago offices, and it’s the kind everyone pretends isn’t racist, s-xist or classist because they call it “fit” and “professionalism.” But we see it. Who gets promoted. Who gets... — read more
Org change dates? Commercial and other divisions have dates yet?
Sooner or later it’s happening.
Underwriting loss 2025 ??
How much is underwriting loss last year ? Is it more than a billion dollar ?
API and Slavins Webinar
Anyone curious about the HR led API compensation webinars discussing changes to api from previous years. I wonder if its neutral impact or negative. They are always messing with our money. Anyone hear anything more?
Customer Service Director Departure
Anyone have any information concerning the departure of one of the directors in customer service? Worried this could be a preamble to another RIF.
Office Avg
Does anyone know how often they check your avg and how it’s enforced across different departments? I hear it’s different across department and not everyone has to follow 2.5
Voluntary Retirement program
Anyone heard if there will be severance offerings for voluntary retirement program? Seems other MAPs are offering.

Anyone get a 2025 review? Did anyone set up 2026 goals?
