Overworked, Under-Valued, Not Appreciated
Lay-off half the team and the rest are left to pick up the pieces with the same performance expectations as before.
You do the work of 2-3 people and yet your pay grade has nothing to show for it. Even if you meet all necessary requirements for promotion.
They rather get the most bang for their buck it seems. Way to go guys. Keep up the great work!
OH BOY This is horrific! I don't want to work here (after I just applied last week!) Couldn't this "leader queen bee" shave some off of her salary to give to the "peasants"?? Think I will go looking elsewhereeeee
During the pandemic,
Ms. Gail Boudreaux sat in her ivory tower giving herself a $3 million bonus while the peasants basically turned their lives upside down to keep Anthem up and running.
See Below:
"As President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at Anthem, Inc., Gail K. Boudreaux made $17,109,952 in total compensation. Of this total $1,400,000 was received as a salary, $3,270,800 was received as a bonus, $2,999,847 was received in stock options, $9,000,196 was awarded as stock and $439,109 came from other types of compensation."
Meanwhile, those
of us who worked daily throughout the pandemic, continuing to provide services to members and keeping her paycheck coming in were given a mere 1 or 2% annual incentive raise (IF we were given any at all). As if that doesn't speak volumes as to how much Anthem values its employees, thousands across the country have been laid off "due to the current economy and the need to keep member costs low".
In reality, I'd say she's just setting herself up for an even bigger bonus with all the money she's saved by screwing over those who actually keep the company running.
Anthem sucks. Just leave if you aren't happy.
It appears the CEO's compensation package increased almost 12 percent ($17 million to $19 million) while the individual contributors who make the company successful received an average of 2 percent salary increase, not to mention the staff that was riffed in March. That reflects what this company really thinks about its employees with many us of that remain working tons of unpaid overtime doing the work of 2 or 3 people due to the layoffs. The Corporate greed continues.....

Corporate Abuse at its finest. These posters are right 100% - this is how it is!
I see other areas are using my department’s playbook. They lost 1/3 of their people in the span of 3 months. Those of us left are expected to carry the workload of 2-3 people and do it flawlessly. Got us hemmed up in meetings 4-6 hours a day then the expectation is to get this tremendous workload done in the 2-4 hours we have left OR work 12-14 hours a day to get it done. Those that can’t accommodate this ridiculousness get put on corrective action or threatened with termination like the poster mentioned previously. My manager flat out told me they didn’t need to know what was going on in my personal life and didn’t care. Just get it done. All I was trying to tell her was that my family situation/current state of health did not allow me to work 12-14 hours a day.
This company and its management truly gives zero f***s about their employees. It’s about the bottom line period. For the very few in management that care about investing in their people they don’t stay. Anthem can’t have that type of foolery.
100% correct!
Prior to layoffs, the clinical licensing department had already lost half of the team, and remaining employees were expected to maintain their work and take on the work of those who left. When those left
were unable to maintain a double and sometimes triple work load, with no assistance from team leads, management's solution was to threaten jobs with termination for poor performance. Annual incentive pay was also withheld or cut back because employees were not able to keep up with work loads. Anthem is a good company to work for if you are lucky enough to get good management. Because of poor management in this department, anthem will eventually lose the few of us left.
