Hi everyone! Does anyone here go to the Richmond, VA PP? Does it have a badge-out system?

I had a colleague who bragged about not taking a single day off in two decades. He saw it as a mark of character, as something to aspire to. I told him he was a fool and he was genuinely surprised. That kind of thinking is exactly what's wrong with... — read more 

I am seeing RDA (Reporting,Data and Analytics) emails all around. Are they planning to consolidate all reporting teams under one leadership? Will there be reorgs or layoffs due to that? Anyone see it coming soon in few weeks or months or... — read more 

For the last two or three years we’ve had so many RIFs, and I cannot figure out why. I’ve been here for almost 17 years and this is just so unusual. We are walking on eggshells feeling like it could be us any day. There seems to be no rhyme or... — read more 

Today’s finance town hall introduced me to the phrase “trend warrior.” Trend. Warrior. 🙄 Umm, this is an insurance company. Nobody is storming the beaches of Q3 armed with an Excel pivot table. But sure. I’ll circle back, leverage some synergies... — read more

You’re eligible for prorated AIP or full AIP in Q4 or Q1, respectively, if you’re RIF’ed prior to the March payout. Just need to make it 44 more days baby!!

Has anyone here had success requesting an accommodation to continue working fully virtual due to a disability, rather than being required to meet the in-office/hybrid work requirement? This would be for a transfer position, as my current position is... — read more 

I’m sure this changes month-to-month or year-to-year. But, do people leaders have awareness to layoffs or are they just as caught off guard? Please provide your experiences.

Brace yourselves for potentially massive layoffs. This is reportedly confirmed by a senior IT source. And, of course, AI will likely get the blame. If you've been working after hours, you might want to consider spending some of that time looking for... — read more 

Bullet point #3 on the survey states - You can access the survey from any computer, but you must be logged into your EH account via your Domain ID. Why does this organization think people are so stupid?

I left a year ago, I am in touch with many of my past co workers. I can't tell you how many are on a verbal or written warning for not meeting metrics. This is outrageous. Skilled clinicians who have in the past met or exceeded standards are all... — read more 

That's all I wanted to say. Pay me to leave this place and I'll dance out the door.

Not surprising, though. New people don't get trained properly, can't keep up, and run for the door before the three-month mark hits. When will they realize that training people properly will benefit both the company and those of us who won't have to... — read more

The workload keeps growing, and the support keeps shrinking. I haven't seen a single meaningful change that would improve things in years. How are we supposed to keep working when we're all literally burning the candle at both ends?

I spend at least 8 hours in the office on my in person days. Is that necessary?

No surprise that reports are wrong, nothing new, this place has been dealing with that for years. Systems don't work, are not examined for the root cause of bad data and reports. More micromanagement but wait....now so many of us are on a correction... — read more

“We can simplify things with information. We have a lot of information. You have to have the right information at the right time to make the right decisions. With the right decisions we get the right outcomes.” This will get you 5mil per year.

As reported in the NYT this morning. Gail took full credit of course, but I could just envision her thinking “these RIF’s are working great! Gotta kick it into high gear”. Glad I retired a few months back and out of that stress.
