Can we finally relax now? I spent the entire weekend stressing, unsure whether more cuts were coming this week. Now that Monday has passed with no new layoffs, can we confidently say we're done? And by done, I mean for now. I know layoffs are never... — read more 

Does anybody else see a problem with this?

Is anyone hearing the scope of layoffs across enGen today? It sounds like this may be the biggest yet by the number of people who are dropping.

Sudden layoff- access cut when my termination call ended. Had no idea layoffs were even coming.

Anyone else laid off today? Was a big surprise for me!

Does anyone know if are you able to leave Highmark and work for say Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida or work for Optum? I searched within the intranet and not able to see anything. I would ask HR, but I'm not sure if that is a wise thing to do.

Hi, with constant layoffs, how do you realistically see the future of Highmark and enGen. Are we really not making $$ and outlook is bleak? Shouldn't the management team the first to go if they can't improve our profits or future outlook? I am with... — read more 

I worked in I.T. for many years and finally got out on my terms thanks to remote working picking up. It is a badly managed company and one should only work there as a very last resort. The stress level is very high due to the constant layoffs. If... — read more 

Heard layoffs happening across engen?

I’m hearing all kinds of stories, but nothing that I can confirm.

Well, it finally happened—I got laid off. After enduring a mind-numbingly frustrating IT environment and living in fear of layoffs for years, which typically occur on Thursdays, my turn came. Honestly, I'm relieved to be let go from this stupid... — read more 

We just got word that Don Gray's entire EDO organization in Highmark Health is moving to enGen. Sounds like a precursor to being laid off. Anyone heard anything more on this?

HPO mtg is today. Wondering what he has to say. And if he’ll be transparent about Thryve coming in & taking our jobs. And this isn’t hearsay. It’s a fact! Several people were REPLACED with Thryve staff. SAD what this company has come to. Yet, they... — read more

This is too stressful, both watching colleagues being let go and expecting you are next.

Just had a last minute meeting with our team lead, more layoffs around the company today. Seems at least 15-20 around three departments in enGen, another 30-50 in multiple other departments in the org at large. They’re really drilling down to reduce... — read more 

The majority of my department was let go recently. Prior to that, when Highmark took over HealthNow, a lot of my team used up their 3 weeks of PTO within the first few months and five people quit without notice. These were hard working, loyal people... — read more 

How worried should I be about tomorrow and the rest of the week?

Has anyone heard of more layoffs today? I heard of one NYer (long-time IT) - and where there's smoke, there's fire. Let's hear it!

I need to be out of here yesterday. This is not the same company I joined a decade ago.

I know the big round is long over, but I keep hearing of a few people here and there being let go all the time. Are we now in the new stage of constant but small cuts? If we are, that's much scarier to me than regular layoff rounds. At least those... — read more 

Based on the trend and the sneaking around from management- does everyone think it’s happening again? I think claims, provider services, adjusters are going to be next. AI and outsourcing is being pushed and clearly in effect already… Thoughts? — read more 

They just keep coming

I feel very similar to a lot of people posting- I’m so insanely anxious about being laid off that I feel like my job performance is suffering. I’m in a customer facing position, so I feel like I have a good gauge on the temperature of member attitude... — read more 

This constant threat of layoffs is taking a toll on my health. I'm stressed all the time and I can't concentrate, which has made my productivity bottom out. I'm worried that this will be a self-fulfilling prophecy: worrying about losing my job is... — read more 

Highmark just laid off another 200 plus people today. Me included. People across all departments. People who were set to retire this year. They don't care. Good thing the CEO made 9 million last year tho.

With the recent failure of Engen/HMHS reorganization, it has been said that we are overbudget and did not meet goals/expectations. They also want to save even more money next year. This company is a sinking ship, only a matter of time. Time to... — read more 

They are here, coming fast and furious. No one is safe, even laid off a mother the same day she lost her daughter. 2022 is going to be bad, 2023 heads will literally roll. Can leadership survive? Can AHN make it out or will they sink? Better... — read more

Yup ... they did it again. This company is not doing well. Sorry to all my co workers that are gone as of today. We will miss you.

Hear Monday November 4th is the next round of mass layoffs in Pittsburgh and Camp Hill True or false?

Somebody mentioned in another thread that there is a rumor going around about 200 more layoffs happening sometime this month - is this true? If it is, any chance somebody here has more info on it? It would be good to know who is about to get hit... — read more 

Sick how HR handled the layoffs. No respect at all. People on my floor found out when their computer was shut off instead of from a manger. Is this really how layoffs are handled these days at Highmark Health? If this is true, than this is a new low... — read more 

This is a company who hired one new VP after another. They created additional VP positions. There wasn’t enough worker bees to get the job done before this and now those that are left really can’t get the work done. It’s a sinking ship and has been... — read more 

Work from home has now been taken away as a perk for employees. Morale is already at an all time low and there is really no meaningful work in the pipeline. Only a matter of time before this company is totally gone.

I am perplexed that there are no updates on HMHS Layoffs on this board. Just look it up online, there is info posted and people are afraid to speak up.

Highmark Health is a very frustrating environment for IT folks who want to do quality work, stay relevant and add value to customers... New procedures and policies are announced weekly - it's so process heavy it's stupid... The rules are often... — read more
