Thread regarding HCSC (Health Care Service Corporation) layoffs

@a8 It was actually 5% of the company - 1500 people ! Also, the company has to file a WARN with IL. Since I've been hearing rumors of this RIF for the past month,, I have been checking the site and nowhere have I run into a notice of it. It has to be filed like some 60 days before.

@ex sorry i thought that was at me. Not the other one below. Yeah… i agree with your statement.

@d3 I do, but after all of this went down, I don’t want to work here anymore. So not for long. If they offered voluntary lay offs, I’d take it at this point. HCSC has gone downhill in their ethics and values significantly in the past 5 years. It’s very obvious judging by the CEOs vast salary increase every year for 3 years in a row where the priorities are. Doubling your salary must be nice every year while your employees suffer and go bankrupt trying to get healthcare with our 💩 plan and high deductible. It makes me sick.

@a8 You, apparently, still have a job, boot li---r.

It would be more impactful to not fill out the Pulse survey than to put all zeroes or ones. Because the completion rate is honestly the only thing they care about. It speaks volumes if you’re to disengaged to even complete the engagement survey.

dont fill it with zeros, theyll just throw your survey out with the outliers

@OP great idea. Blue Pulse is a joke and has been for a while. It is so sad to see how this company has changed. "With our members in sickness and in health" makes me cringe at the hypocrisy.

Just silently quit. Take their money

@a8 layoffs happen, yes. But for a company that “won” (quotes.. because it was a bought award) the most ethical company of 2025, this is disgraceful. No heads up. No communication. No transparency. If that’s what our LEADERS want to model, that’s what they’ll get in return. They better update those core values quick, because they broke about every single one of them.

I’m not going to walk out or make a scene. But I expect most of us have little interest in going above and beyond for a company that won’t also go above and beyond for us. The stories about how other companies handle RIF’s with far more empathy and ethics is very telling.
The ironic part is that productivity levels are among the lowest they have ever been due to lack of SLT strategic alignment and the RTO push the last couple years. They could save so many millions and drive so many millions more in revenue if they didn’t constantly hold employees hostage while they (execs and SLT) build competing empires and avoid uncomfortable alignment conversations.

@a8 😂 🤣 spoken like a real company man.

@OP anyone calling it Hunger Games is a child. Layoffs happen. It su-ks. But it was like .01% of our total headcount. Not a bloodbath people want to make it out to be

This will do absolutely nothing but I agree with the sentiment. Best course of action now is to update the resume, begin applying, and hope they do another round of layoffs or offer a VSP in the meantime

I will walk out with you, although I WFH so nobody will know
