This year so far was really hard. The workload, the uncertainty, the layoffs, and all the other changes made sure of that. I keep wondering if the second half of the year could actually be worse. Is that possible? Or have we hit the bottom and things will get better? I truly don't know.

@b0 These fake leaders need to admit they made a mistake trying to repeat their 2008 strategy. Even NY and CA is working on preventing those mistakes again and have laws implemented for that. It's why Elon Musk and others fled to Texas and Florida.
I suspect this is the pause before the new CEO takes full control… then things will start to happen again. Most likely a double down, the powers that be are unlikely to admit they’re wrong/ made mistakes.
@a9 if you can't see that the entire government is the problem, then you're part of the problem.
We’ve got a ways to go before we hit rock bottom. But HIH…oh sorry…now we have to call them Hyderabad office like we don’t still know they are cheap offshore labor regardless…Hyderabad is sc--wing stuff up left and right. I can’t even develop more than 2 days a week because DevOps tools are broken and all the support teams do is tell me to put in another ticket instead of fix anything even with Director level escalation. If anything it will get worse before it gets worse.
No I don’t think it will get better. I feel like more people will be getting let go
Oh for sure. Look for Cigna to adopt all of these and more thru the rest of 2026
- discontinuing layoffs and filling key open roles
- eliminating offshoring
- moving to a 100% voluntary hybrid model
- retiring "Align to One" without a replacement
- revisiting the last two years of performance reviews to bolster inadequate raises and bonuses
Just keep on waiting for the wonderful future just around the corner!
I'm mostly atheist but Mamdani sounds more like Jesus's teachings these days
@a9 This. Mamdani is making sure that tech is built in house and onshore in NYC now unlike loser Newsom, Pelosi, Chuck, Kuomo, Harris, Obama did since the India lobby bought them out.
If we keep getting the corporate, establishment Dems that also brought us to this mess, then no it won't get better.
