Thread regarding Elevance Health (Anthem) layoffs

This Place Ages You

Before joining this place 5 years ago I used to be told that I look 5-10 years younger than my actual age. The other day when I was looking at pictures only 6 months into working here, it was night and day compared to photos pre-ELV. The fear, anxiety and constant chaos of this environment will do it to you. Not to mention more health issues. I hope I can get some of that lightness of spirit back when I leave here.

I gained 30 pounds due to stress anxiety and depression. Feel so free and looking forward to melting the pounds and reverse aging.

@pc I feel your pain. All the sudden I have a turkey neck and camera makes it look so bad. 🙁

Oh I definitely look old. Sigh! I don’t even want to go on camera anymore because I have aged 10 years in the last year. It’s embarrassing.

When I joined and saw pictures of employees that had worked here 25 to 30 years when they started forcing people to post their picture on their profiles, my first thought was, OMG, what is this place doing to these people??? Now numerous years in with all of the stress and overtime, I look just as stressed and old. So, it is not your imagination....

@c4 why is it necessary to be mean and belittle someone because they may not have understood?
Try being a little compassionate, patient and just plain nicer.

Yeah, stress will do that to us. Wait until you have puffs of grey hair growing out of your ears. :)

@c1 since reading comprehension doesn’t
seem to be your forte, I’ll break it down for you in 5th grade speak.

I believe the post said 6 months into working here, it was day and night from 6 months prior.

Does that help clear things up?

Wait... you joined this place 5 years ago, and you now look 5 years older? Is that not how we age?
