So, now people have six weeks. No carryover to next year. Lots of people lost a lot of accrued PTO, which would have been paid out. Btw, starts 10/1, and if you’ve already used six weeks, but have more time off scheduled, your manager has... — read more 

Only a million dollar bonus last year for VPs? Times is hard. https://www.beckerspayer.com/legal/elevance-sues-former-network-exec-to-block-oscar-move/

216 employees affected.

Any managers in the leadership summit today? I can only take so much corporate word salad and patting each other on the back. Trust, communication, listening, making healthcare affordable. Great talk. Thanks.

It’s about trust! Coming up next…RIFs!

Isn’t it ironic that a health insurance corporation fails to provide the best health insurance coverage for its employees? Found this gem in one of the older threads and I didn't know if I should laugh or cry. This is 100% correct. We're supposed... — read more 

I heard a couple of big names / leaders impacted this week. Any ideas on total impact?

Some of the choices coming from management are genuinely hard to understand. I've worked in this industry for years and I've never felt this disconnected from the people making the decisions.

Anyone else find it despicable they are cutting our healthcare coverage claiming to be working to lower the cost of healthcare? We don’t have the best as it is, and this is an insurance company!

I have had the most difficult time helping me build an HR case against an SVP who retaliates and regularly attacks me publicly. Copilot has done an amazing job at gathering the facts and putting it together in a nice refined document with proof... — read more 

There are plenty of opportunities here if you count favoritism, being used, and watching other people get ahead. Leadership can lie or retaliate and somehow never seems to face any consequences.

Anyone else area focused on having all employees fill in trackers for production and what is being worked on daily and what lines of business you support? Seems we have been sent a handful of report trackers to fill out over past month or two…..

So for the past month, I have started wearing "blue" glasses - I can see but you can't see my eyes. It allows me to go into the office and never have to look at anyone while appearing that I am and when I am on camera I can do the same - why you... — read more 

https://www.firstpost.com/business/cognizants-us-perm-filings-suspended-amid-probe-into-alleged-visa-fraud-14044224.html I saw their GC ads in the building all the time. This is a good start.

Has anyone else noticed the ominous new Big Brother messaging on the PulsePoint telescreens? The message is to report other associates to the corporate authorities if they display any of several listed behaviors, including withdrawing and decreasing... — read more 

I applied for an internal position which I believe is not ear marked for a promotion. It seems a legitimate position. It was originally posted for 2 weeks and then it was reposted again for 2 more weeks. What does that mean?

This is a friendly PSA now that premium Copilot licenses have been extended to "all associates." Our copilot has access to most of the docs you already have access to (docs, transcripts, notes, emails, etc) + lots of internal/Elevance hosted sites... — read more 

What kind of company makes you interview for a promotion.. Why should I have to interview for a company I already work for, for a promotion I deserve.. If the managers and higher ups can’t appreciate dedicated employees then why do we go above and... — read more 

How often do people like me get cut? I've already seen some newer faces disappear. Is it just bad luck, or are we in more danger?

So, I was curious how my pay has changed in “real” (adjusted for inflation) terms over the years. Turns out I peaked in 2021, in spite of being promoted in 2022. In fact, I’m make less today than I was in 2018. I’d encourage everyone to look at... — read more 

Sept 1 (Reuters) - UnitedHealth's insurance unit said on Tuesday that a broad range of conditions will no ‌longer need prior approval, effective October 1, as ‌it aims to eliminate prior authorization for 30% of healthcare services by ​the end of... — read more 

Consider yourself cooked if you're paid higher than your peers.

It’s a bad sign that they’re having a whole coffee chat about the cost of care. Who has the pool going for the cost increase for employee benefits for 2027?

It's "deeply personal" 🤔 A sprained ankle shouldn't require anything but propping your ankle. Get to the cost increase.

Just want to say it’s sunday and i am borderline about to cry because of how anxious I am to long into work tomorrow and face the demands of my job. The stress is overwhelming and the only ppl left here are psychos.

I accidentally clicked on Emblem Health, instead of Elevance, and their last post thread entries were from 2016 and they were saying and complaining about the very exact same thing as us…about the offshoring to India and Philippines, about the CEO... — read more 

We have been seeing an influx of “vendor resources” added to our teams to “help” with inventory. Something’s rotten in the state of Denmark

Whenever layoffs, AI initiatives, reorganizations, or offshoring happens, people instantly blame H‑1B workers, even though the data doesn’t support it. Elevance Health has hired only about 2500 H‑1B employees over the last decade, yet every corporate... — read more 

When you never know if your job will exist next quarter, you can't focus on anything but survival.

Saw an org announcement that we now have seven CIOs with overlapping responsibilities (we had some of them before). I guess things were going so well with chief dipsh-t as CDIO that they decided we needed even more chief dipsh-ts. This played out at... — read more 

Big re-org in Ratnakar’s organization this week. My boss moved my 1:1 to Thursday morning at the last minute today. My spidey sense says I’m in trouble. Anyone heard anything?

I’ve been hearing rumors that they will be getting rid of unlimited PTO and going back to the traditional PTO system we had in the past. Is there any truth to this?

Leadership repeats these concepts on every call, and have for years. In 20 years of having health insurance as an employee here, my costs have gone down ZERO times. Year over year, it only gets more complicated. Talk is cheap. Like propaganda, no... — read more 

Does anyone actually know what is going on? The total lack of communication or transparency makes it seem ominous.

How long are we staying in the office, if there is a badge-out system? Is there a “minimum number of hours required”? Does anyone know the “rules”?

We post so much about the micromanaging the layoffs , those people don’t care. More money for them.

Unknown date. Conversational AI expansion/ they will be repurposing some roles prior to the RIF

I have an interview with a recruiter for an internal position I applied to. Any idea what they ask? I am guessing technical questions are reserved for an interview with the hiring manager. Also my application status still shows applications... — read more
