everything is going to fall apart - literally.

Calling it “running without issues” is delusional at best. Chronic layoffs and unskilled offshore replacements create nonstop firefighting. Every single week involves some kind of crisis management impacting operations, on-shore workers, and clients.
@fa7 why do you think it is falling when business is running without any issues?
What do you think of DP just taking David and Nicole over to India to celebrate moving our jobs overseas? Another example of our great IT leadership and the culture at the top. Can't believe how they showed up. While everything in IT is falling apart.
How many were cut?
Truth in the last comment. HIH is just a temp thing too. Once all settles with technologies and Cigna figures out how to automate, people will be tasked to do more production sinceAI will make work “easier”.
HIH taking over all the manual labor until AI can do most of the work, then Cigna will pivot back onshore.
Nobody is safe. Less bodies, less band 3/2 watching over band 1work (trimming fat on those upper bands first) more work for the remaining few. It’s all part of the overall plan.
@OP why do you think they care. Most of the managers are just trying to move on to their next rung on the ladder. The more they cut the better they look. The more people stick around and do the work of two or three people why would they care about you if they know you’re not gonna leave.
Customer for now, but really any coaching/ training job will be obsolete and on the chopping block as automation and AI helping tools become the norm. Already happening in other sectors
Is this customer coaching?
Things have already fallen apart in my IT division. They hired people offshore, laid stateside people off, then realized too late that they did not have people left to help with the domain, server, and tool access for the new hires, putting even more work on remaining employees.
Wow, no more coaching dept!? That has to be a lot of people let go. It just keeps getting worse there. I can hear in my head management saying “the C in Cigna stands for change”. Every manager I ever had in over 20 yrs there always said that when some cr-p was flowing down hill. I was worried at first when my turn came and was JE’d but after the shock wears off, you realize just how better off you are to be free.
There were yesterday. The entire coaching department was dismantled and we were all told our roles were eliminated. Across all of Cigna.
