Thread regarding Elevance Health (Anthem) layoffs

Return Here in 1 Year (q1 2026)

The make it one quarter at time strategy has become visible to customers, employees and investors.

The RIFS and project pauses happen to feign growth for investors on a quarter by quarter basis.

Gail drives internal competition rather than the actual corp values.

Employees directly working with the humanity are treated like garbage. This is not sustainable. Our brand is ruined. Investors are catching on....finally.

A year from now Pete will be cleaning up the mess and hoping that all the tenured people Gail discarded in lieu of SLT paychecks will come back to save the day. Guessing that's a hard no Pete. Maybe you could be proactive now but then there's you and your friend's second houses so probably not.

A year from now we'll be splitting off businesses and begging for a govt bail out.

Unfortunately my boss wouldn't let me put in a professional development goal of getting the F out of here. My personal goal is not to give a F anymore. Exceeding so far!

Elevance is on fire. Too bad you RIFed all the experienced people who can help put it out and you're left with a bunch of people making smores in its ruins.

PBM will for sure be in the hot seat for 2025- it's an unnecessary middleman if anyone looks close enough- if Elon reviews for 10 minutes it will be toast.

In whole we can't be acquired. We couldn't even buy cigna because it was a monopoly. We can and probably will shed RX since congress is coming for it anyway. Carelon can easily be split. It's hardly integrated as it is. Maybe if we're just Anthem again, we'd transformation to something good. We have too many P&Ls that need the other to fail so they can succeed. It's a competition model that was built over the past 7 years. The self devouring snake.

The bar is being set lower and lower to enable cheaper offshore resources. If able to actually do our potential then that strategy would look silly and fail. The demoralization of US workers is a strategy and has a goal of enabling the low cost, good enough offshoring that feeds the top 1% pockets.

I’ve heard others, including myself, say that they were working on not giving a “f” anymore. It’s such a shame. Well that is something we could all work on, it just means we are allowing ourselves to give lesser quality work to our clients because there is no time to do it right. It’s a shame that they want us to do inferior work and be OK with it
