Beware of toxic leaders. It is usually a leader who has limited knowledge or understanding or have reached a level of leadership without working specifically in the field. If leadership at Anthem or CarelonRx tell you something in a call, follow up in writing and reiterate what they said. I have been flat out lied to repeatedly about what was promised to me or about tasks that I was assigned to. They attempted to functionally demote me until I documented it and presented to HR. They have continuously added more tasks and more job roles to the scope of my work to fill the gaps left by RIF. All I can say is communication in writing , documenting and advising them when they violate policy or law is crucial. The sad part about it is until you have been directed by a leader or by HR otherwise, you still have to do the task or they will use that as cause to give you poor reviews or let you go. Watch your back at this company. Not every leader is like that but there are plenty of them.

@139 That’s because our leadership values toxic leaders. Just move them around to spread the toxicity.
Really sounds more like toxic employees to me.
Back to work - I need my big bonus!
Have you noticed the toxic leaders are not fired just moved to a new role every time they fail. My toxic leader has been here for decades and every time she/he fails at the role, the employees get blamed and fired and it's off to a new role with a new title.
The jobs here are better than nothing. It’s a check every two weeks. Just lower your expectations and not care as much. Works for me
You must be one of the toxic freeloader leaders. At some point you will need skills to survive. Good luck with that. lol
@e1 bye bye! You should leave or are you already gone and just lurking on this board? Seems to be a lot of lurkers on this site
This is the most toxic company I have ever worked for. My leaders are incompetent and lied. It's amazing the money wasted on them. Leave if you can.
