Thread regarding Cigna layoffs

I share the same sentiment re: Cordani. I was excited to be a Cigna employee and would attend town hall's rejuvenated by his charisma. But, after the Express Scripts acquisition, it seems as if Cigna lost its soul. Cordani's promise to the market for an EPS in the "mid-teens" range by 2025 meant that they would cross ethnical and moral boundaries to achieve that goal. I got the pink slip October 2023. I look at Cigna with such disdain nowadays. I'm praying that the chickens come home to roost very soon. Even Cordani's physical appearance looks as if the stress of his role has taken a toll on him. Serves him and all other heartless managers right when the clock strikes midnight.

Cigna is not in the medical care business, but they market hard to us that it is to leverage our empathy and good will. Cigna is an insurance company that provides ancillary services designed to reduce its costs in covering the insured. Insurance is an immoral business model where we take peoples money and try as much as possible to not pay it back (like the claims rejection tool we are strung sued for in CA). Our PAC lobbied legislators to do things like repeal Obamacare because more profit can be squeezed when pre-existing conditions don’t have to be covered.

I have no illusions about how and why Cigna makes its money. I don’t like it but in the Hartford area it is hard to find a job with good pay, so I sacrifice my morals to care for my family. But you will never catch me going “above and beyond” or doing anything other than what my job requires as I have no interest in donating more time to enrich the already obscenely wealthy.
