Does anyone think Gail or her direct reports are watching these posts? Any one here SVP or Higher?
May Day 1 - RIF Updates Here
Please consider updating us on this post.
Let’s be real
The only people still betting on this place are the ones who haven’t been paying attention. The rest of us are either gone or halfway out the door. If you’re sticking around waiting for things to turn around, good luck with that.
The ELT seems to be using Orwell's "1984" as an instruction manual
Most sane people understand that "1984" was a cautionary tale, but the ELT seems to have missed that point and are using the book as an instruction manual to inflict misery upon the workforce. Our own Dear Leader, much like Big Brother, is the... — read more
You call it Elevance. I call it Hellevance because it has no relevance.
What would Eminem Cipher about this place.
Fu-k this
Title says it all
Yup, I just recv'd a meeting invite from the VP 3 levels above me
Guess I'm toast as of tomorrow morning. Why on earth would the VP 3 levels above me schedule a mtg with me, and a few others on my team? My boss, his peer, and their boss have all been marked BRB on Teams since early afternoon. I think they're gone... — read more
Nothing Changes
https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1pHceTH7
Dear Hellevance leadership,
Your entire company despises you. You constantly spew empty corporate reasoning for RTO, making some people who earn next to nothing drive a freaking hour one way to your soul su-king offices. No one gives two sh--s about their work now. No one will... — read more
RTO— what happens to people not close to a pulse point?
There’s a lot of associates who simply cannot comply with RTO because of their location. Do they get a free pass ( so jealous) or will they be offered to relocate or be Riff’d? It’s unfair being penalized OR punished by your geographic location. If... — read more
People! Stop working when sick
Including myself. I don't work when I'm sick I just don't. But there are many people on confernce calls that can barely talk, sneezing coughing, whether your home or in the office, It's simply not worth it especially here. It becomes expected. I... — read more
RIFs tomorrow.
I have heard some rumors that some RIFs will be announced tomorrow. Has anyone seen any meetings from their managers?
What else?
So the RTO rumors were spot on. What else is coming down the pike?
Open letter to those in charge
Dear C suite executives, 🖕🏻 Sincerely all of us p-e on’s you pretend to care about. Union is coming. It’s time. We’re done. You take away our bonuses, our benefits, and flexibility. You treat us as a number, see what happens when a group of... — read more
Elevance is the worst
I have worked for several different MCO's before landing at Anthem/Elevance. Two of the MCO's lost their state contracts for Medicaid which was why I eventually ended up at Anthem. Let me tell you their benefits and raises and bonuses don't even come... — read more
Who else?
Gail has absolutely ran us into the ground. I think her contract is up in 2026 though, I recall reading that somewhere. If this is true, who would you put in charge? Who could do better, from the current ELT? I honestly don't see anybody who could... — read more
Return to work
Here it is, Elevance Health officially pulling people leaders and director equivalent individuals contributors back to the office 3 days a week. No doubt this is a prelude to get people to quit before more RIFs come. Even the Q&A provides some BS... — read more
Newsflash: Elevance isn't losing sleep over your career
At the end of the day, you're just a number on a spreadsheet to them. When push comes to shove, they'll always choose profits over people - that's just how publicly traded companies operate. Your manager might be a decent human being, but they don't... — read more
Worst Team
The leadership team CII falls significantly short in fostering a healthy and equitable workplace culture. The actual contributors—the working-level employees—are often overlooked particularly from offshore, while mid-senior and senior-level members... — read more

Badging out of the building
Has anyone heard that the pulse point buildings will begin requiring all associates to “swipe” out to exit?
Next round of layoffs in May
When are the layoffs planned for the month of May?
Quiet-Firing
I know "quiet quitting" was a viral topic a year ago or so, but does anyone feel like they are being "Quiet Fired?" With all of the RIFs, I am grateful to have a job, but more and more of my responsibilities are disappearing. I have never gotten a... — read more
Rearranging the deck furniture on the titanic
I know, we can change the name...that will do it! No wait lets fire a bunch of people, that will do it! I've got a better idea, let's ask the people who have been driving us into the ground for years to pick people to RIF. This company is grossly... — read more
Town Halls
So many Town Halls with no information
Elevance Health “Town Hall”
Will we hear about RTO? No AIP/QIP? Here we go!
RIF Selection Question for People Leaders
I know this question may have been asked in the past but I never had clarity. Who is making the decision on who stays and who leaves? Are the people leaders involved? Staff VP? What are the driving factors? Salary, performance?
HR: Talent Review Process Director & Director equivalent
Starting April 28 must update Workday Career Profile. Is this another means to target ppl for rifs? Or, a standard protocol?
RTO and reorg
Does anyone know if the coming RTO mandate means that remote teams will be dismantled? If the reporting structure is going to change to reporting to a leader in your local office?
RTO?
Is there really an upcoming RTO? I have spoken with those in leadership who are not tracking this. Im not sure how its feesable with the offices and locations we shut down. Can anyone say with a doubt they know this is coming? If youre work at home... — read more
So glad I’m retired
After reading these posts I think I am one of the lucky ones who had a full career at Anthem. I feel bad for the folks with 10+ years to go. It’s depressing to read about RIF after RIF. I wish everyone the best of luck
Ohio
Any word on more RIFS this month? Last month the 3/20 lay off prediction for GBD departments was accurate and I'm wondering if there are future date predictions & where if so?
The Party is Over!
People getting paid to do nothing but talk bull and go to meetings. Party is over. Ya better have some real skills you can sell on the street. Cause talking bull and doing power points isn't going to cut in the real world. Word up!
Being moved suddenly
I am being moved suddenly with only a week notice. I’m being moved to a team where all the employees are two pay grades higher. So far I haven’t heard anything about a title change or increase. What should I do? I feel like they are just moving me... — read more
Deepeeaayo and eweeesstee deal is sloppy
Recent eweesstee rebadging deal is sloppy at its best. I am not sure how hellavance is going to save any money outsourcing 100s of associates.. The SLAs are loose and work guarantees from ELV are steep.. This is coming back in house as soon as Rat... — read more
October 2024 RIFs (last day Nov) Job Search updates
I was curious how the people were were in the October 2024 RIF with a last day in November are doing on their job searches ? Have you found a job yet? I'm still interviewing, and honestly getting scared since my benefits end next month. I know that... — read more
QIP vs AIP
I don’t understand why Elevance has not leveled out QIP and AIP. No it is not a salary and grade level differential. My team has both QIP and AIP and salaries are within range of each other and grade level but QIP fares much better especially this... — read more
RTO Rumors
Any truth to the retuning to office starting this summer?
