To All RIFs _ Take Anthem to Court

The company is targeting a percentage every quarter or so for the purpose of Not crossing the Warn Act! ( dirty tactics)

Targeting the employees individually is an effective strategy to keep you silent and waive your rights.

Instead of suffering alone, you can take advantage of this platform and be united as ONE.

The Ask:

Ask HR for layoff letter.
The company should provide a 60 days notice of Layoff ( based on Warn Act ).
The Company should provide a Severance pay ( usually 4 weeks for every year worked with the company) can be negotiable.

If demands are not met:
Escalate:

RIF group to Hire an attorney to represent all impacted employees by RIF.
Money will not be a problem since all can contribute $ attorney fees.
Sue the company as one united Group.
Support your colleagues by raising your voice and standing for your right.

***
DON'T LISTEN TO PPL WHO SAYS YOU DON'T HAVE A CHANCE AGAINST THE COMPANY.
WE say anything is possible if we all are UNITED

Information about Warn Act:

The layoff notice should be delivered at least 60 days before the anticipated plant closing or mass layoff.

Plant closings: affecting 50 or more employees for at least 30 days.
Mass layoffs: involving at least 500 full-time employees.

Violations of the WARN Act, including failure to adhere to notification period requirements, may result in back pay for affected employees and penalties of up to $500 per day.

****
The company use dirty tactics
like sending your layoff dates to the warn act showing that they have respected the 60 days layoff notice! And they will notify the employee 30 days before the end date( 30 days if they are been nice )
****

Just keep posting on this site and let everyone know what a rotten Company they are.

@cap+1tVvcVTK

These are bought and paid for awards, they're meaningless. Given them weight is like giving the BBB weight.

I think you don't understand the WARN act.

30 days of work plus base 4 weeks severance: 60 day requirement met.

It su-ks, because this should be hitting the news, but that's how they get around it, and it's legal. The alternative would be 60 days notice and no "severance" (in our case, supplemental pay) at all.

If there is a lawsuit, it will be for misleading the investors.

Can someone explain the coming investor lawsuit ???

This is pure bullsh-t. No one is entitled to a job. This is a publicly traded company, there is no job security.

30 days notice is all that's required, anything more is based on the state. Severance/supplemental income is offered in place of notice.

If you don't sign the paperwork HR offers, you won't be eligible for severance and benefits.

EH has been fully informed legally where their requirements are, i would be very surprised if anyone has merit to a lawsuit.

Any suggestions that can be shared with the group ?

Do we know any websites for Company rating/review as an employee??

How Anthem received "Great Place to Work" certification 2024/2025.

And

FORTUNE 100 best Companies.

Obviously this is nothing near the best place to work for!

Not sure how much it matters but the layoff count is also kept under 500.

As was stated previously, this is legal. There have been previous cases that have gone to court and those were found in favor of the company. Information for those has been previously posted here - but you will have to go further back in time to find that (think years).

The WARN act allows for a lot of wiggle room. Information can be found at:

The reason there is a severance/supp package is for you to accept it and go away and leave the elephant alone.

Regardless you can still take it to court,

Don't think both sides are not double dipping on healthcare profits. The lefts are true evil villians.

Bring litigation against the senior management team. That would be a more productive path. The comming investor lawsuit will bring more attention to a class suit from RIFs.

Seriously? There is no case. What they are doing is legal. Keep voting Republican, as long as the corporations have more rights than the people, this is what you get.

“The WARN act also says they can give you severance in lieu of WARN notification.” Fact! So they give you 30 days notice: notified of RIF 8/8 with last day of 9/6. Then automatic 4 weeks of SUP pay. There is your 60 day notice.

The WARN act also says they can give you severance in lieu of WARN notification.
So, they’re basically keeping you employed for 30 days and then paying you severance for every year you’ve been here (there is a limit, I believe it is 12 weeks, not 100% though)

Some lawyers will take the case for free. They will get paid on the back end by the company if the suit goes in your favor. If it doesn’t they usually tell you BEFORE they actually take the case.
