For managers who have participated in recent staff ranking activities and succession planning, including selecting your own successor - how are you feeling about it? Do these activities indicate future layoffs and is this an indicator that you'll be laid off if you named your successor?

Is that the policy here? if an employee is put on a PIP they are not eligible for a severance package should they be terminated as a part of job eliminations and or firing?
Succession planning is pointless. Managers give names of people who might be able to replace themselves. Promotions are a joke - it's just like a high school popularity contest, except more often than not, you also have to be a man. Directors and up are a 2:1 men to women ratio. The higher you go, the fewer women in leadership there are. It has been a well known fact for years that you have to leave Cigna if you want to be promoted. The only part of succession planning that impacts employees is the 9-box ranking. Employees who are ranked low must be put of a performance plan - It's an easy way to line someone up to be let go without having to pay severance.
Is the succession planning for Medicare, Commercial or both?
Promotion?
What else could even be the point of succession planning except getting your head chopped off ?
