When was EviCore rebranded to Medical Benefits Service (MBS)？
@1qy it’s interesting. Are we having meeting on 6/2?
Thoughts on possible update coming in the June 2nd meeting? Will HR work with you if JE to try to transfer to another team/dept in the enterprise or is it severance package & here’s the door.
"stay focused on execution"
Oh for sure. Block out everything going on around us and focus solely on how we can bolster executive compensation. In that context, our meager concerns are irrelevant.
@1a1 maybe the new CEO spoke without thoughtful thinking. His words had caused the chaos in EviCore. Maybe that’s his plan to drive more people out of EviCore
@1ax You can want your job, be disappointed and search for another at the same time. Many already are…
@1a1 so go apply for a new job! But worrying constantly about something you have no f’ing clue about is ridiculous. Someone gave you an answer that’s based in fact and you all would rather respond with hysteria. You’re the reason you’re miserable.
@19w Exactly! As business doesn’t like uncertainty, either do employees! Uncertainty in the workplace creates collective anxiety that harms both the bottom line and employee well-being. When the future feels unpredictable, people lose focus, productivity drops, and costly turnover increases. To stabilize your business, you must deliberately replace ambiguity with trust, transparency, and clear communication.
@18x That’s easy to say then you don’t have a life to plan and you just watched a surprising large group of your colleagues be laid off. There’s no guarantee it will be sold and not just dissolved. Contractual obligations don’t seem to be a priority and there’s no reassurance from leadership our interests are being looked after and not discarded after years (some with decades) of work. Speculation is a result, not a cause…
I think it’s important to separate understandable concern from unrealistic speculation. Organizations are acquired because of the value they provide, not because someone intends to immediately dismantle the entire operation that supports clients, revenue, and delivery commitments.
EviCore still has active clients, contractual obligations, operational expertise, and a workforce that keeps the business running every day. Any strategic review or potential transaction would require continuity, stability, and ongoing execution.
No one outside of leadership has full visibility into future decisions, but assuming “everyone will be fired” is not how these situations typically work in practice. Right now, the most productive thing we can do is stay focused on execution and avoid amplifying panic that is not based on facts.
No one wants to buy garbage evilcore
In many cases, layoffs always follow after new owner takes over. Layoff by Cigna may be better than new owner on severance pay
I am wondering the same. None stop stress and anxiety. I wish they would just be more upfront and if sold will the employees here now be able to go w the new company.
