Thread regarding HCSC (Health Care Service Corporation) layoffs

New PTO policy another slap to the face from HR/Executives, how can we make our voices be heard?

I feel like executives/HR just hide behind departmental manager's/vp's to do damage control when they make unpopular decisions like they made today. I love my team, I love my manager, and I like the work I do, but decisions like these make it really hard not to look for other jobs. Why are they making these decisions when are profits/overall company performance has been so strong these last couple of years? Why are all our blue pulse surveys that they say they take seriously never get any action? Everyone complains about RTO , everyone will complain about this and I'm sure it will fall on deaf ears. I think the average employee needs a more direct line to these people making these decisions, and if anyone has any ideas on how to do that I'm all ears.

And they had the audacity to remove replies and lock the thread. Leadership does not care. This is about their bottom line while those of us who DO THE WORK struggle to make ends meet in this terrible economy.

And yet another tone deaf message came from VP of Total Rewards today via HCSC Corporate Benefits page on Viva Engage.

For anyone who thinks management did this out of ignorance and it wasn’t well thought out, you are wrong.

This response today proves otherwise and employees are not valued as in years past.

Remember when you hit your 5 year mark your pto increase but they made it 10 year. Also remember there was unlimited pto carry over as long you don’t cap off your pto than it came down to 40 hour. And at one mine there were 3 day wellness where you can take off and they reduce it to 2 because the give you Juneteenth off. Ima just leave it there.

Unionize. Just start talking about unionizing. That’ll cause panic with senior level leadership. They already have to deal with the union in Chicago and the last thing they’d want is for other locations to start considering unionizing.

But wait the action on the Blue Pulse survey was a thank you card station so people feel more recognized

As a Cigna Medicare employee looking in as "a soon to be" HCSC employee, this doesn't sound so great. We are allowed to roll over 56 PTO hours (7 days) a year. It used to be less rollover, but when Cigna and acquired Express Scripts, they increased it by a few hours. My guess is HCSC is trying to reduce the amount of PTO payout to employees as they plan to lay many of us off when we come on-board. Many of us are already jumping ship so who knows how many of us would be left to layoff.

"Attrition" sounds like somebody from HR is posting here.

This is being done to allow employees to self-attrition prior to the Cigna merger next year, since a lot of those roles are redundant with current HCSC roles. This is also being done to remove the word 'Diversity' to keep our red states happy.

The 2 day PTO rollover into 2025 starts now. So, you have to use your PTO this year

Since the policy doesn't that effect until next year, the layoffs won't happen this year. Some time to save some money and start looking.

Nothing like dropping an email to say HERE, now deal with it. HUGE HUGE difference from current well being and diversity to new policy. More like DRASTIC! This decision could be the one that breaks the camel's back for employees to leave.

You should start an Engage group and give them a piece of your mind!
