I’ve been for a while, due to workload and stressful environment. I am now experiencing a new layer to it. I was panicking over losing my job. I’m now slowly transitioning towards not giving a sh-t about it anymore. And not in a good way. More like unhealthy indifference. Jobs hijack too much of our time and the emotional capacity to be able to cope in a healthy way.

I think everyone realizes the goal of corporations is to make money.
I used to love this company. I want to love it again.
I always roll my eyes when I hear someone say something like this. Those people have no idea why this company really exists or what the primary objective is.
As obvious as it is they just stopped doing surveys since they know no one is happy, but seriously those surveys, they pull out a few key items and then just give us more time wasting projects to figure out ways to fix them, then after the exercise is over, so is the discussion about what was wrong in the first place. They are mostly useless anyway and just result in more work for us to address issues that won't be fixed.
And I can’t remember the last time we had a pulse survey. Can’t imagine why!
You are not alone. Months of job eliminations and living in fear ki-led my productivity. Just when I thought it was over, I hear of more reorganization and layoffs to come in my area. I’m surrounded by people with the same discomfort and it is hard to keep a good attitude. I struggle daily in a job I used to love. I have been looking for other jobs outside the company with not a lot of success. I’m not sure what to do other than keep looking but I’m exhausted at the end of these 10 hour days. I have more work because there are fewer people. I cannot keep up and I am working Saturdays and some Sundays. I have direct reports and I want to put on a happy face for my folks to keep them motivated but I am struggling with that as well.
Yesterday, I saw the green talk meeting come through about vitality. It made me so mad. Cigna sure is talking a good game. I wish they would look inward at their people and realize what they are doing to us. I used to love this company. I want to love it again.
Now imagine how the case managers feel.
