Thread regarding Elevance Health (Anthem) layoffs

Not sure why it was down voted. I have great leaders, but my situation is rare. It is my first experience with a VP who gave a flop two layers or more down.

It doesn't matter the layer. It's people who put themselves and their paycheck first against even their own better judgment. Insecurity is rampant at this company but it's organizationally bred and tolerated because we don't collaborate, we compete. We may be running toward the same goal line but we're definitely not on the same team nor interested in sharing wins or loses.

I'm always atonshied that the people who could change the culture act like they're not the ones who allow it's current toxicity. Step up or step out.

What do you expect from town halls? You expect too much from leaders who are always going to accentuate the positive. These are pep rallies not a place for feedback.

If the company was interested in what you had to say, they would not shield themselves with all these layers of inept and self-interested management. Do any of those VPs/staff-VPs actually share goals and talk to each other? Cut the fat in the middle management. Most of them are too afraid to speak up. Too many of them are not thinking strategically. If any of them were good we’d have one on ones and be able to push feedback up before the town halls cr-p rolls down the hill.

No one in legal will agree to let leaders speak without a script. They don't know how to talk to regular people about the things that effect regular people especially at work.

Have you met SLT in person? Most are hardly functional in human form. You could replace them with an avatar and spark, and get more empathy.

Couldn't agree more.

Execs are walking egos. You've got people in charge of the company and ops that haven't spoken to a member in their entire tenture....unless you count associates as members. Luckily, we don't. That would mean we'd have evidence of being a disappointment to our associates as their employer and their insurer. Whoa. Dream big.

@OP+1vAuloDF, mic drop...

senior leader here. i cringe when 90% of these folks speak. they say what they say in the manner they say it because they literally have no idea what their LOB actually does. the corporate speak functions as a band-aid to cover their ignorance.
