Thread regarding Anthem Inc. layoffs

Every team will be impacted

Every team will be impacted by the RIF. Some teams have a 20% reduction target and will let them all go on Thursday while other teams will eliminate that 20% between Thursday and the end of the year. Don't think any team, GBD or CSBD, are exempt from the RIF and believe most GBD teams have a 20% target and CSBD has a 10% target. Heard they are also bringing in additional HR staff due to the volume of people being laid off. Directors and above will probably be let go immediately while others will have to work a 30 day notice. Also with the required 7x7 changes, you should see a drastic reduction in the number of Directors and above. Wish everyone the best of luck in regards to whatever outcome you are looking for on Thursday.

7x7 was implemented about 8-9 years ago. Go to antheminc.SharePoint.com from a work pc (it allows you to search every SharePoint in the company). From there, search for Operational Effectiveness. It was supposed to be no more than 7 layers between CEO and last associate of a reporting tree. It also said that to justify a leadership role, there had to be at least 7 direct reports and no more than 21.

That got blown to he-l once new senior leaders were hired and wanted to bring in “their people.”

@tgd+1oHjlRhJ poster asking 7x7 our fearless leader has created several layers of management between the worker bees and upper management. So in some areas maybe all the consolidation of management. For example I know if a manager moving to and independent contributer. Count your levels..

I'm close enough to this that I can assure you, there are facts with it. Unfortunately. I'm also having heart attacks, especially since I'm close enough to know what's up but not close enough to actually get direct information. But the indirect info I have is unfortunately solid; this is a big one.
