Thread regarding Cigna layoffs

I get so sick of us making everything about Racism and I say that with the right of a Black Woman. Not everything is about race or inequality.

The problem Cigna is facing right now is PURELY due to a lack of leadership. Particularly in the Technology arena. Seasoned with some greed and disrespect of people that made the company successful being let go in favor of cheaper labor off-shore

The real issue is the dramatic rise of the top 0.1% (not even the 1%). We have a whole new breed of billionaire robber-baron oligarchs that completely own our government and rig the system for themselves and ensure that the rest of us are left fighting each other for the table scraps.

There are more billionaires in the new administration than ever before in history. And the richest of them all is pulling all the strings in DC and illegally demolishing our government on a whim. The US government certainly isn't perfect, but the devastation that is happening right now to our institutions will negatively impact us for the next 20 years. Until people unite together against them and put a halt to their brazen, corrupt buying of OUR government, nothing will get better.

I remember the time when my Cigna leader would say how she could work from Turks and Caicos during Covid…particularly tone deaf when a majority of her team made a 1/6 of her comp. #neverforget

Stay off Reddit maybe go outside a bit.

The worst worded verbal vomit I have ever read.

Somewhere in there is a point but it's a little lost.

Yes, things get politicized but the real issue is the people at the top pull up the ladder. That's why there's the exponential wealth disparity between the 1% and everyone else. We pretend it's the land of opportunity but if that were true, there wouldn't be such wealth disparity. Those at the top want to keep as much as they can and if there is an opportunity for someone else to join them, they're going to pick someone like themselves most of the time, someone likely old and white and male. That's not necessarily a criticism, it's human nature. There's always exceptions but we see it over and over at most American companies. Get yours and if you're forced to share, share it with someone like you, someone you're comfortable with. Break up the wealth and leave the ladders extended and you'll see more diversity take root.

Think of all the talented hardworking people you know at Cigna. Do any of the senior leadership team contribute so much more than those people that they deserve salaries in the millions instead of a low six figures or even lower? They're really not that special even though they surely tell themselves they are.

The politics and everything else is just noise. The power is with the money and the money lies in the hands of the very few. Break up the 1% and the rest of the noise will significantly subside.

There are some good DEI programs that recruit to find QUALIFIED people of diverse backgrounds. One of the reasons I was hired, is because I speak Spanish. But I met all the other qualifications for education, experience, and certifications. DEI is not about preference, but allowing other factors to tip the scale when other qualifications are equal.

A word salad to say absolutely nothing.
Get off your high horse and if you're getting sh-t canned or think you are, start looking for a job. Preach on Facebook to your echo chamber.

You preach solidarity while practicing divisiveness. It's been known for a long time that multiculturalism and diversity inhibit worker solidarity. That's the entire reason it was done in the first place. You're so obsessed with the "class identity is the only identity" mantra that you can't even see how you've made class identity an impossibility. Your entire ideology is a miserable pile of contradictions and even at the 11th hour you still can't face up to it.

It’s us versus the 1%. Fuhk a political party.

And they aren’t gonna just give it away.

Get your kit ready, boys
