Manager hinted that there might be layoffs then and/or seeing who has other talents and move elsewhere. I can’t believe this. My anxiety is through the roof.

Every month two are three anthem FT employers from my unit are getting lay off and it is a norm across hundreds of units. Slowly and steadily US citizens are losing the jobs at Anthem. Soon more than 70% American citizens will lose the jobs.
Gloria is a real piece of work
Has anyone else heard anything?
@2tkd+17bZPzvo post about early retirement. I was offered that, but had to decline. Had the years but age wise I just couldn't pull it off. I think the outcome surprised a lot people. They did say never again. I would be in a better way now if they offered it again. I'm just waiting. 38 years @ Anthem best wishes to all
Regarding early retirement package offers, management says never again.... The last time Anthem offered an early retirement package a few years ago when they were trying to force people to relocate to work in office in Atlanta, GA with no change in compensation, management was astounded at how many of their high performing long term employees with Anthem (business/system experts, in many cases) took the early retirement package to take a break from Anthem (to recover from the experience), and then go work for other companies.
As long as Gloria is there, anthem will continue to have layoffs - it truly amazes me how much money anthem makes with this culture... imagine the profits increases if leadership took care of their workers instead of treating them as disposable rags.
When is gmc retiring? How much money does she need??
They should offer an early retirement package. I know a number of people in many departments that would jump at the chance to leave. It would save stress and anxiety from the people that are waiting for their notice that their job has been eliminated.
Anthem has typically rif’d staff at the end of November so that the balance sheet would be better at beginning of new fiscal year. However with change to PTO lay-off they could opt to wait until January. Realize for states that do not have specific laws/protections on PTO payoffs (like CA), employees are only paid 40 hours of PTO. It is a cost, but not as significant. In January 2021 will no longer pay the 40 hours.
i heard the same... moving GBD IT support functions to CSBD roles or RIFing. I am assuming that they're moving the positions for GBD offshore as I can't imagine they'd be eliminating all of those positions.
@oac+17bZPzvo Those who aren’t rif’ed are likely to be re-orged.
what does " and/or seeing who has other talents and move elsewhere" mean? thanks!
More layoffs are coming. I heard 70% of IT will be outsourced/offshored by end of 2021. In addition, commercial is pulling architects from GBD IT and folding them into the commercial domain.
