Just like the day before where we all got slapped with the Trump Tariff Tax and a bunch of unnecessary pain, Cigna went through with a large layoff designed to avoid WARN laws (as usual), and done in a scope and manner that will cripple productivity in many areas.
They are all in and betting hard on HIH saving the bottom line. Except the job market in Hyderabad is hot, and Cigna’s salary ranges there are not. ELT didn’t learn enough about job culture there and now have to offer free lunch and signing bonuses to get people to show up on their first day, if they even accept the job. Even the mid talent in Hyderabad is going elsewhere, leaving Cigna with mostly (but not all) knuckleheads who will drive things to the ground eventually. Kind of like tariffs.
And yes. There are going to be more layoffs so roles can be migrated to HIH.
So, when your boss tells you to do the work of someone laid off, politely stand your ground and advise you are one person and don’t have the capacity to do the work of two and kindly ask them to prioritize so you can get the most important stuff done. Don’t work extra. Do the minimum needed.
When you are told to write an SOP, it is for HIH. Don’t write incorrect info, but certainly leave out tips and tricks and shorter versions of the process. And feel free to write in complex English that is not easily followed. The kind of language that causes errors with AI translation.
Good luck. Both with dealing with your HIH replacements, and your 401k. It’s gonna be brutal for the foreseeable future.
