You spend more time managing personalities and approval chains here than actually doing your job. Leadership still operates like it is twenty years ago, with constant micromanaging and politics attached to every tiny decision. Why does every simple task have to turn into exercises in control?

Yes, and it's a sign of poor organizational health. I got out and it isn't like that everywhere (although a lot of payers are tightening up this way). Cigna shows many signs of being a failing organization
Interesting. Two things can both be true at the same time. Shocker to some, by the sounds of it.
@a7 Nah EviCore is still trash. Tons of married people there having affairs with one another.
Cigna expanded via aquisition. Heck they almost merged with BCBS a few years back. They grew, banking on a compliant regualatory environment and government subsidies. Did they overdo it and not manage it as well as they should have? Were leaders not as smart as they thought they were? Insurance executives who did not manage risks that well, LOL. Big mistakes were made.
Accept the fact that as an employee, you are but a cog in a machine. A cog that they pay for, a piece of metal they really don't need to personally care about. We invest a huge part of our lives and self worth into what we do for a living, its OK to do so, it's human nature.
It feels personal as we trusted the leadership. They failed, but they don't pay the same price for that failure as a parent who has a mortgage and a few kids. Its really not fair.
When has anything ever been fair though.
Interesting. Three weeks ago everyone was acting like EviCore was the root of all evil and Cigna was some flawless corporate utopia. Now suddenly it’s ‘approval chains, micromanaging, politics, and control issues.’ Sounds less like an EviCore problem and more like y’all finally looked in the mirror.
