There was a time I was proud to work here. Cigna used to appreciate its employees. Somewhere along the line that changed, and it's never going back. I miss the way things used to be.

I remember when they trained employees. Offered a generous tuition reimbursement program. Nice maternity leave. Just over all good place to work.
@fj Manders?
The golden days ended when John M and Matt M retired. They believed that Cigna should be more than just a for profit company. Once they left DC had no one left who was willing or able to keep him in check.
Covid happened. After that was over the pulled the rug.

Dear Mr. President,
I am reaching out to you today to share with you, my story. I work for The Cigna Group as a programmer. Last month Cigna decided to terminate 100's-1000's of our Doctors, Nurses and talented technology employees - Recently Cigna agreed to pay a 600-700M "charge" and has decided to terminate 7,000-15,500 full time employees and offshore their work investing heavily in a new "Hyderabad Innovation Hub" "HIH located in India. They think terminating and eliminating US workers to pay for David Cordani and Cigna's Executive leaderships poor decisions is acceptable.
Recently I have begun learning AI automation and wanted to share my idea how to protect America's work force from Outsourcing and offshoring our jobs to other countries. I think if you were to post draft of an Executive Order or a new article on TS saying my administration is reviewing options to create a new executive order protecting American Patriots work force, stating if Corporations like Cigna plan to move US workers "jobs" to India or other foreign counties they should plan on paying HUGE new tariff\tax or fee on the US healthcare data that originates in the US to be sent overseas. Expecting US Patriots to train the offshore company to "Transform, Manipulate, Re-Work" the data and then send it back to Cigna (or other corps in the US) to then send to their clients like the NFL, Disney and Amazon - they should plan on paying a new ridiculous amount of money to be allowed to do this. It's not just Cigna it's all corporations are doing this and if we do not take actions to stop it - I predict we will lose Half of the US jobs in the next 3-5 years. It's a Major Threat to the US economy and imagine if we lose half the current federal tax income and Social Security will fail. Imagine half of America unemployed with no work homeless living in the streets - a real AI generated "GREAT DEPRESSION" is on the horizon.
I am not saying it should be illegal for corporations to offshore, but I think if they want to use AI Agents Modules and Tools to replace the American work force, they should have to do it located in the US with either HB1 or US talent. If they move this work offshore to other countries to save money, they should have to pay a huge penalty to do it. I think even if you posted a message on TS that we are looking at that your words would stop companies like Cigna in their tracks from moving forward until they learned more from your administration's policies on it. I would like to see you propose an executive order like "The Great American AI Patriots Jobs Protection ACT" laying out how we are not going to let US corporations outsource Americas data to other countries to re-work it and send it back to the corporations to send to their US clients without penalties.
I would like to see you mention directly if David Cordani (CEO) Brian Evanko (CFO) Kari Stevens (HRVP) this this is a new business model they should sell the Cigna HQ in CT and relocate the HQ to India and stay there. David and the ETL team can sell all their mansions in Simsbury CT and go buy palaces in India.
Please really think this through as I think this will go down as a Major Accomplishment in your legacy and would help the Mid-terms in November and for decades to come in the future. Remembered as first President to protect America's work force from AI development. The day you put a stop to this and standing up to protect the US Patriot work force.
I posted my story TS under my ID "IQ120s" this morning, but the TS admins banned my account for "spamming" under the terms of service section "8".
You might be our only hope, the person with the power to stop this potential AI Great Depression on the horizon and being able to avoid it and save America's work force.

@am You need to repost this, got deleted when the replies got blue/red political.
I generally agree but how about some of the pain is, sooner or later, shared by senior "leadership"? How about a couple layoffs? Freeze or (gasp) compensation reductions?
Nope, it's all inflicted downward while they sit happy and secure, comfy on their huge piles of money...
Leaders eat last.
@a2 I agree 110% scroll down and read my Dear Mr. President letter I sent
We need to stop allowing US Health data going offshore for “rework” and sending it back to corps in the US - if corporations want to automate or use AI agents modules and tools it should have to be located in the USA with US based talent
1000%. I even mentioned it recently during a meeting. Will we ever go back to the golden days? Probably not. I think all eyes are on healthcare now and perhaps leadership never prepared for this day. I don’t think that’s ever going to change now. American people want better healthcare at a lower cost. As a result we are going to suffer. It makes me feel sad as an employee all the blood sweat and tears I put into my work and they’ll replace me with AI or an offshore resource. Worked myself to the bone literally. I wish the govt would start placing fines on companies for offshoring. I don’t think we can blame Cigna for everything but something has to give. On one hand I’m happy with the transparency but on the other hand idk How people work under these conditions.. my friends and family think it’s absurd how they are constantly laying off. Can’t relax and enjoy anymore. Those days are over. I’ll likely ride this until wheels fall off and then move on when and if my number comes. Let’s be honest- Cigna has pros and cons like any place but the culture has changed and it’s not going back anytime soon. Cigna was good to me for the most part. Cost cutting is our new reality and I’m gonna try my best to not take it personal. The golden days are over for America.
