Thread regarding Cigna layoffs

I've been answering very honestly the past few surveys, and I've even been selected for the smaller audience ones. I'm still here with great reviews from management. They even beg me to stay. So I'm guessing they don't realize that feedback was me.

@m5 replying to my previous answer. I wasn’t laid off. Lmao but conveniently after my survey was submitted my boss was in meetings like all day a few days after the survey submission and then I “conveniently” failed an audit by 1%. Lol just get rid of me at this point

@mt IT IS TRACKABLE. I know first hand. One of my old supervisors actually asked us to put exactly how we felt and lets say it was a time when we were all unhappy. Well Mgmt saw the responses and immediately went to our Supervisor and asked them to reach out to us and change them before they went any higher. We had to change them. No Joke.
I got it this year seems like ALOT of people got them. I feel as if I was targeted on getting it this year seeing that I had just had a very close co worker get JE'D the Thursday before they were sent out

@mt The are definitely tracked. One year, I didn’t fill it out until the last week and I kept getting messages to complete it. The next year, I completed it very early and never got a notice once I did. So, the next year, I waited until there were a couple of weeks left and got messages up to that point then no more. They know!

I gave my honest opinion last year and got laid off. Related? Who knows. But I’m glad I said my opinion and I don’t miss the company.

If you ever want to see if a survey is truly “possibly” anonymous, just try taking it twice.

If you cannot take it a second time, it is crystal clear there is some form of tracking.

With any survey, you can be honest and live with the possible consequences, and keep your personal integrity, or you can say what you want people to “think” you represent and live with the fact you are willing to trade your honesty and integrity for whatever message you are trying to send.

Being honest does not mean you must air all possible issues, just that you are willing to be clear how the questions impact or are viewed by you personally.

I opened this survey and immediately closed it.

I’ll update if I get laid off. I did mention on the survey to stop threatening me with a PIP and to just give me one and get it over with. My supervisor previously had given me a PIP threat before my birthday last year and there’s been a couple more since. Including a team wide PIP threat. Just get it over with. Fire me, automate me, or outsource me if you regret letting me scrap by somehow during the Feb layoffs.

I'll let you know if I'm suddenly laid off. It would only be due to the survey.

I was brutally honest. Treating everyone as a temp worker isn't a sustainable strategy. And repetitive layoffs in my eyes will always show the ones running the company don't understand it's business needs. Layoffs used to mean a company was in trouble, now it's just another lever for short term benefits with long term problems. Yeah, let's sc--w over the people creating the product we sell over and over again...what could go wrong? They're running this company to maximize profits for shareholders which leaves the patients and the employees SOL. Remember when the leaders talk about shareholders in the town halls they're talking about themselves as well. Hilarious that they talked about doing away with rebates last year and now we're seeing a class action lawsuit for stealing rebates from patients. The leaders make their money and sc--w everyone else keeps getting more blatant. Lead to 1 translates to work more with/for less and try to improve the company image after getting caught maximizing profits at the expense of our patients.

Who cares that it’s not anonymous? They need to know how we’re feeling. And in this political climate where workers are burning buildings down, I think they should shift their focus to their employees’ well-being. But that’s just my opinion.

B4 People leader here. The surveys are 100% traceable back to the submitter.

Depending on the level of management you are, you are told that only comments can be seen with certain number of people.

If your computer can be tracked and shut down by IT when you are termed, you don't think a survey you complete can't be tracked back to you? Of course it can.

@a8 these “anonymous” surveys are never anonymous

@OP I was very honest with mine a couple of years ago, especially about the constant wait to see who was going to get axed every other week. Then I got selected for the VRP this year (which I took). So, it doesn’t necessarily put you on the list. It is supposed to be anonymous, but if it was, then why do they hound people who have not filled it out (I did that too one year)? And I think it is not as randomized as they say. In my 10 years with the company, I was selected 4 of the last 5 years.

Frick ‘em

If we aren’t somewhat honest, leadership will pat each other on the back for a job well done.

Really hammer home that we don’t know what this stupid Lead To One strategy even means to us. And definitely bring up layoffs.
