Anyone know if onshore contractors will be let go? Rumor has it all contractor contracts got extended til 3/1 for alignment purposes - is this just a cover story for having them work hard the next month and finish their projects and then they'll be rid of at Express Scripts/Evernorth? I'm working with a few contractors and wondering if they know they'll be let go in a month so won't do their work well the next 4 weeks. That would be awful for our remaining team. And does it also signal that the contractors won't be getting FTE positions in the future anymore?

I’ve talked to my manager about this and he basically said they’re gonna keep hiring more offshore reps because it’s cheaper and the higher up has accounting experience. They think that’s a solution to costs/profit is to offshore workers.
Are we talking about direct contractors with cigna or vendors like Accenture/tata type? Not sure if you’re just talking about express scripts but I’m not in express script, our vendor mgmt was planning q2 already and I know a lot of teams are heavy with contractors so not sure all they can end them all.
If contracts were extended through February, it’s a safe bet that a bunch of them will be cut loose soon.
